Your friend suddenly cannot attend and is far away? No problem!

Just scan the tickets and go! - Proven Technology - TX.IS is proven and trusted at major venues including London Stadium, The Kia Oval and Twickenham for events including MLB World Tour, Burna Boy, The Ashes and The Weeknd. - Contact Us - If you have any questions or would like to distribute your tickets on TX.IS, please contact us on: hello@tx.is It would be great to hear from you. --- * Subject to promoter terms and conditions.
