We’re always looking for ways to do good – whether through our environmentally-friendly ticketing system, supporting grassroots events promoters and venues, offering exceptional service to customers, or partnering with charities and fantastic campaigns like Tickets for Good and The Ticket Fund.

The government has made £2.25m available to help grassroots music venues through the next few months, but the window to apply for a grant of up to £80,000 is short - with it due to close on 3rd August.

We'll let you guys worry about who deserves to top the album of the year lists, or whether England have any chance at the World Cup, because the only trophy we care about is the ticketing industry’s Outstanding Customer Service Award.
