Comprehensive ticketing for events, venues, and box offices since 2008; San Diego CA; low-fee with reserved seating, mobile scanning, and will-call for live music venues and theaters.
Purplepass is a full-service event ticketing and box office platform that provides venues, promoters, and event organizers with online ticketing, reserved seating management, box office tools, will-call operations, and marketing integrations in a platform designed for professional event operators running regular live events and venue operations. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in San Diego, California, Purplepass has served live music venues, theaters, sports facilities, fairs, festivals, and performing arts organizations for more than 15 years, building a reputation for low service fees and responsive customer support in a market dominated by Ticketmaster and Eventbrite.\n\nPurplepass provides reserved seating map creation and management, mobile ticket scanning for box office operations, season ticket and subscription package management, group sales and will-call operations, and promotional tools including email marketing integrations. The platform supports both online sales and box office transactions, including cash and card processing at the venue. For recurring venue operators, the reserved seating tools and season package management provide capabilities not available on simple self-service platforms. White-label options allow venues to embed ticketing on their own website under their own brand.\n\nPurplepass competes with AXS, Vendini, TicketSocket, and Eventbrite in the professional venue and event ticketing market. Its lower fee model compared to major ticketing platforms makes it attractive to independent venues and regional promoters who find Ticketmaster's fees and control requirements unsuitable for their operations. The company's focus on customer support and hands-on onboarding differentiates it from self-service-only competitors in a market where venue operators value access to human support for complex event setups.
