Our history goes back. Way back. In the early 60s, Danny Betesh was so enthralled with the burgeoning music scene that he started booking gigs for local bands such as Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders and Herman’s Hermits. In 1963 he promoted a Liverpool band starting to cause waves; The Beatles first national UK tour with Roy Orbison supporting. For over 60 years since, we have been organising, promoting, and selling tickets for over 300,000 events, connecting passionate people with passionate audiences. We've worked with promoters, bands, sports teams, festivals and more to help millions of people access life-changing experiences through events, all while remaining fiercely independent. This independence, alongside our integrity and innovation, allows us to work side by side with event organisers of all sizes and deliver excellent service. Our long-term success is due to our continuing passion for helping people deliver and experience incredible events. Whether helping to grow boutique festivals like Kendal Calling, stepping in to support Hull City’s box office prior to Premier League promotion, and continually evolving our ticketing technology to meet the demands of modern live events.
