Paperless Tickets Massively Reduce Your Event’s Carbon Footprint
Pop quiz: how many tickets has WeGotTickets sold in the last twenty years? Ten million? Twenty million? Fifty million? Nope, it’s none, zero. That’s right, in our entire 17-year history we haven’t sold a single ticket; not a physical one sent in the post, anyway. When we started out back in 2000 under the OxfordMusicNet...
