True Tickets – When you trust your tickets, your patrons can too.
True Tickets is better for venues. Period. Because of this, we’re also better for artists, for audiences, and your ability to manage the ticketing process from sale to scan.
The current marketplace of online ticketing is a mess of fraud, scalping, hidden fees taken by third parties, and security breaches.
We have a better way and a proven track record of making it work.

Why it works for venues: You set the rules
As the ticket issuer, you set the rules for your ticket sales and resales.
Tickets are tied to user logins, which makes them fraud resistant and easier to transfer and allows you to build connections with your actual audience. True Tickets retains no personally identifiable information about those who use the service. See more here.
Control the ticketing delivery process from sale to scan in whatever way you want.
We allow you to track the entire lifecycle of a ticket, including transferring, changing seats, or rescheduling shows all as part of the True Tickets process that can be done through the digital interface. This means fewer phone calls, emails, and shorter box office lines.

About us
True Tickets was founded in 2017 as an end-to-end ticketing system. As we grew and talked to more and more people in the industry, we realized two things: no one wanted another app. And traditional ticketing systems across the industry had a need for a secure digital delivery option. So True Tickets changed course.
We decided to no longer be an end-to-end ticketing system. Instead, we developed a technology that could plug into existing ticketing systems to deliver and transfer tickets securely. We had our very first run of the service with 24 tickets to Hamilton in Miami in February 2020, testing the service with friends, family, and investors.
Today, we’ve delivered more than 2 million tickets for 10 major venues worldwide. We’ve developed a proprietary system that allows venues to sell their own tickets while creating their own rules for ticketing transfers, refunds, cancellations, and more.
We believe in trust through identity and accountability. We protect user data and privacy, and use cutting-edge security to ensure it is as easy to use as it is safe. We’re growing and we’re honored to partner with some of the finest arts and culture centers in the world.
