We never stop thinking of cool ways to help our clients sell more tickets. Today, we’re launching the TicketBiscuit Affiliate Program to the general public.
How does it work?
The concept is pretty simple actually – website owners, bloggers, and publishers link to our events from their website or blog, and we pay them commissions on referred ticket sales.
How did we do it?
First, we took our massively cool legion of clients and their ever-expanding multitude of awesome events.
Next, we built an easy, intuitive way for web publishers, bloggers, and site owners to tap into those events.
And finally,we topped it off with a generous commission structure. One that even pays commissions for presale tickets or ticket purchases made within 24 hours of when tickets first go on sale to the public (unlike that other, less awesome ticket affiliate program).

TicketBiscuit is going international! We’ve partnered with Tixsa to revolutionize the way tickets are purchased and delivered in South Africa. We’ve licensed an enhanced version of TicketBiscuit to be the backbone of Tixsa’s ticketing operations.
Tixsa launched just last month, and is already making waves with acquisitions of high profile clients like the Voortrekker Monument, Café Barcelona, and the Alexander Theater.
The South African ticketing landscape is currently dominated by Computicket, but Tixsa Managing Director Michael Canfield says there’s ample opportunity. “The venues and promoters here frankly didn’t have a solid, reliable, inexpensive alternative to Computicket in the past. With Tixsa, now they do. The value to the venues and promoters is that Tixsa will empower them to sell tickets online through their own websites and mobile optimized sites instead of sending all of their customers to the ’800 pound gorilla’ – they can cultivate true relationships with their customers, sell more tickets, and make more money.”
Tixsa is using the “800 Pound Gorilla” analogy in a series of hilarious commercials. Check out the first one below:
TicketBiscuit CEO Jeff Gale says the relationship between the two companies began as a simple email conversation with fortunate timing. “Tixsa contacted us just as we were compiling our international growth strategy,” he recalls. “South Africa was getting a lot of attention due to the 2010 World Cup, and the Tixsa team was ready to take advantage of that momentum. It has been a great learning experience for us, going from initial contact to product launch in just under three months.”
Canfield says that Tixsa evaluated several US ticketing companies before pursuing TicketBiscuit as a partner. “We knew that in order to gain a foothold here, we absolutely had to choose a company that had a proven software solution, was innovative and flexible, and had best-in-class reviews from its client install base. TicketBiscuit is all of those things and more; of all the companies we looked at, they stood alone.”
