Last year was nothing if not a reinvigoration for those of us who decided to get into the event industry in the first place.
When our industry shut down, things felt bleak. But it allowed us to reflect and to begin imagining what the future of live entertainment would look like.
Whether you're a promoter or a venue owner, or any other member of the community, you've probably imagined the swarm of people wanting to get somewhere where they can see their favorite artists perform.
But with all good things come the negative things too.
The return of live entertainment means the return of ticket scalpers taking advantage of fans who desperately want to attend an event. Our goal during the shutdown was to figure out how we can get the actual fans in the seats for a fair price.
Our market has always been very strict on the "no refunds, no returns" front, and we weren't afraid to say that we disagreed with that way of thinking.
Our ticketing platform allows fans to exchange their tickets if something comes up. When a ticket is returned, it's sold to the next fan in line at the market price. We also introduced our priority reservation technology to help touring artists and promoters gauge interest in various cities while allowing fans to reserve their spot in line for someone they want to see.
Our platform has swept the event industry off its feet by providing security to both the event producers and fans.
So far, we've had the opportunity to partner with Pitchfork Music Festival, Under the Big Sky, Newport Folk Festival, Lost Lands, Baja Beach Fest, L.O.L. Surprise! and Life is Beautiful just to name a few
We're also breaking into the Australian market as our international reach grows. We're proud to announce our partnership with the Lunar Electric Festival in September.
Our goal is to meet the demands of the artists, producers, venues, and fans by offering a more straightforward ticketing method. We hate the idea of half-empty venues and people paying insane amounts of money for fake tickets. Lyte was created to change all of that.
Integrating Lyte with your ticketing platform of choice enables you to offer your customers the flexibility they don't usually have. It also lets them purchase their tickets with confidence, knowing that the ticket is 100% real and that they can exchange it if something comes up. It paints a clearer picture of demand for the producers and allows them to make adjustments as needed.
With Lyte, everybody wins.
