What Ticket Wallet does

Ticket Wallet is an AI-powered resale platform for season ticket holders and brokers. We automate pricing, listing, and distribution across all major marketplaces. Today, most tickets are still sold manually: spreadsheets, guessing prices, and listing on one site at a time. The biggest brokers outsource pricing to teams in the Philippines… We built Ticket Wallet because we lived this. Truman has been flipping tickets for the last 5 years. Ryan built pricing software after seeing the mess first-hand. We’ve turned that pain into a product. Since launch, we’ve onboarded $3M+ in ticket inventory, signed up 100+ paying sellers, and started working with pro teams. We charge 10% per ticket sold. This is our wedge into the $26B resale market. Other platforms cost you money. We make you more of it.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Ticket Wallet as an AI-powered resale platform that automates pricing, listing, and distribution of tickets for season holders and brokers. Instead of juggling spreadsheets, guessing prices, and manually posting each ticket on different sites, our product centralizes and optimizes everything across all major marketplaces.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in New York City, and Ticket Wallet will continue to be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

The ticket resale industry is deeply rooted here, and being close to brokers and teams helps us build and grow. NYC also has the talent and ecosystem we need to scale.
