About

Why Ticketsolve exists

We believe arts and cultural organisations deserve tools that support their purpose, not get in the way. Ticketsolve exists to give teams the clarity, control, and confidence to run their organisations on their own terms.

We’re building the cultural sector’s operating system. 
A unified platform for ticketing, marketing, fundraising, payments, and beyond, shaped entirely by the needs of the people who use it every day.

This is Ticketsolve

We’re an independent, customer-driven team working exclusively with the arts and cultural sector across the UK and Ireland. For nearly two decades, we’ve helped hundreds of organisations grow their impact with better tools, stronger data, and lasting partnerships.
