Tixel have only been operating for less than a year and have already made some solid progress. Making it easier than ever to find tickets to sold out shows. We’ve worked out a way to automatically remove fake tickets and keep ticket re-sales capped at 20% above the original purchase price so that fans are guaranteed to get a real ticket at a fair price.’ says Zac, Tixel’s CEO.īut tixel isn’t just about creating a safe and fair way of buying and selling resale tickets, it’s also a resale ticket marketplace. ‘We’re all about helping fans and musicians keep the industry fair and free from scammers. With all uploaded tickets scanned, the platform guarantees zero ticket fraud. They launched Tixel as a one stop solution to safe and convenient ticket resale. This makes safe ticket resale a big problem, and a big opportunity.Īustralian startup Tixel’s co-founders Zac Leigh, Jason Webb and Denis Mysenko knew the problem all too well - having been left standing outside a concert with a fake ticket. With an Australian resale market of $200m, and a US resell market of $10B dollars annually. How many people? Well no-one knows exactly, but ticket fraud is estimated to be up to 25% of global resale tickets. This happens to millions of people every year, globally. You paid 3x market price for a fake ticket. The security guard scans your ticket and pauses… “excuse me, can you please step to the side?”. You get to the front and all of your friends get their tickets scanned and pass through the gate. You and your besties are lining up for the concert in your 90’s fan merch ready and raring to go. Getting to the gig is all that matters at this point. Eventually you find someone who’s selling their ticket for 3x what they paid, but it doesn’t matter. So you start trawling Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace. and boom! As soon as the page goes live, all of the tickets sell out and you miss your only ever chance to see your idols.īetween the uncontrollable sobs, you try to figure out what to do next. So you sit at your computer frantically refreshing the ticket page. You wait with baited breath for weeks until the tickets go live on site.

And they announce they will be coming to Melbourne in six months. You’ve been one of their biggest fans FOREVER.
