The Ticket Fairy
Revenue generation for live events
We built an event ticketing platform that goes beyond just selling tickets. Our product helps event promoters and venue managers increase attendance, boost social media exposure, and engage their customers more effectively. It combines ticketing with marketing tools, event management, and analytics to help organizers get more revenue from their events.
We are based in Los Angeles, California, with a distributed remote team as well. After YC, the company will continue to be based in Los Angeles while growing our remote presence.
Los Angeles has a vibrant live event scene and a strong tech ecosystem, so it's a natural base for us. Being remote-friendly lets us tap talent globally and support events worldwide.
