Bringing Events to Life:
TicketSocket Unveiled Us

The mission of TicketSocket remains unchanged since its inception in 2012: We help event operators take back control from the big name ticketing companies that erase unique branding and cannibalize customer data.

About
TicketSocket

Our company’s 
core value is innovation.

In the early 2000s, we looked at what companies were going to  want in the future and we were right: In the 2020s, companies are seeking more control over their money, brand, data and functionality. We believe that the smartest businesses never stop building. TicketSocket stands actively at the cutting edge of ideas that drive sales and conversions.

We’re also committed to helping companies understand the value  of new technologies and iterative processes. There was a significant challenge in educating the market on how valuable their customer data truly was and why they shouldn’t be giving it away to other non-white label ticketing companies.
