Ticketbud Streamlines Event Access with iOS Update
Ticketbud released a new iOS update featuring multi-event scanning, aiming to simplify entry at events with multiple access points. This addresses the complexity of managing different entry points and ticket types, streamlining the process of where people enter, when, and with what credentials.
Ticketbud, founded in 2009 and based in Austin, Texas, operates as an event management and ticketing SaaS platform. The company aims to empower event organizers with varying resources and budgets. Ticketbud has raised $615,000 in funding over two rounds, with the first occurring on February 29, 2012. In March 2011, Ticketbud secured $1.2 million in Series A funding. The platform generates revenue through a fee of $0.99 plus 2% of the ticket's value. The company's iOS app allows organizers to scan tickets, manage events, and view real-time attendee data. Version 4.9.9, released on July 3, 2025, introduced the multi-scan feature. Ticketbud faces competition from over 631 active companies, including Eventbrite, Ticket Tailor, Cvent, and Splash. The online event ticketing market is projected to reach $99.31 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 3.8% from a $56.7 billion valuation in 2024.
