About

TicketSquad

Features
Read full description

Getting tickets for a big festival or gig is a team sport. Someone has to remember the on-sale date, everyone needs their registration details ready, and when you get through the queue you have about ninety seconds to get it right. TicketSquad is where your group gets organised before that moment. PLAN TOGETHER Create an event, invite your friends, and see at a glance who's in, who's still deciding, and who hasn't sent their details yet. SPLIT INTO BUYING GROUPS Most sales cap how many tickets one person can buy. Break your squad into groups that match the limit, so nobody is left out by accident. EVERYONE'S DETAILS, IN ONE PLACE Registration numbers, booking references, whatever the sale needs - collected ahead of time and ready when the queue opens. You decide what the group can see and what stays private. KNOW WHEN IT MATTERS We track on-sale dates for hundreds of festivals and gigs, so you don't have to. Get a reminder before, and an alert the moment the sale starts. AFTER THE SALE Record who got what, sort out who's covering whom, and keep everyone in the loop without a fifty-message group chat. TicketSquad works alongside ticket sellers - we don't sell tickets, and we never ask for your payment details.
