About Tickets.com
Tickets.com is a leading provider of event ticketing solutions, serving a diverse range of clients including Major League Baseball, the National Hockey League, major arenas, large performing arts organizations, and even the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games. The company operates in the live entertainment market, offering innovative ticketing technology products and services through its two main businesses: Tickets.com and ProVenue.
Founded in 1995 and rebranded in 2001, Tickets.com emerged from the merger of nine ticketing firms. The company’s primary goal is to enhance the ticket purchasing experience, making it enjoyable from the moment a customer decides to buy a ticket. This approach aims to make the fun of a live event start with the purchase process, not just when attendees arrive at the venue.
Tickets.com’s business model revolves around providing advanced ticketing solutions to its clients. It makes money by charging fees for its services, which include ticket sales, distribution, and management. The company also offers promotional deals and access to exclusive events, which can attract more customers and generate additional revenue.
The company’s technology-driven approach allows it to deliver efficient and user-friendly ticketing solutions, ensuring a seamless experience for both clients and fans. By leveraging its expertise in the field, Tickets.com continues to be a trusted partner for some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment.
