PromoTix is an event ticketing and marketing software platform designed to help event creators increase profitability by reducing high ticketing fees and boosting ticket sales through integrated marketing tools. It uniquely focuses on eliminating per-ticket service fees with low flat fees or subscription plans, allowing event organizers to keep more revenue. PromoTix also features a built-in ambassador network to virally promote events, branded event app creation without coding, and secure monetized live streaming for virtual events. Its platform supports a wide range of features including event management, real-time analytics, social media integration, gamification, and various ticketing options for both in-person and virtual events.
Founded in December 2019 by Will Royall, who has a background in advertising, software, and event production, PromoTix was born from the need to offer lower-cost ticketing combined with powerful promotional tools. The founder's experience producing a successful music festival highlighted the problems with high fees and lack of marketing exclusivity in ticketing, inspiring PromoTix’s creation. Since launch, PromoTix has grown rapidly, attracting over 676,000 users and more than 25,000 event creators. The platform has generated significant traction by enabling promoters to increase ticket sales by an average of 16% and cut event promotion management time by 74%, alongside recruiting thousands of ambassadors for viral marketing campaigns.
PromoTix has raised approximately $1.78 million in capital without venture capital backing. Their recent crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder in April 2025 valued the company at $15 million, raising $117,086 in the current round. Revenue has grown from $265.8k in 2022 to $693.2k in 2023, with projected 2024 revenue exceeding $1.5 million, marking 160% year-over-year growth. PromoTix exhibits strong gross margins above 82% and is trending towards profitability, with reduced losses from -$656.6k in 2022 to -$175.3k in 2023 and an expected profit of $300k+ in 2024. The efficient business model is highlighted by a high customer lifetime value ($161) and a low acquisition cost ($25).
