Ticket Liquidator

What Ticket Liquidator does

Ticket Liquidator (legal entity Ticket Software, LLC; operating entity Ticket Liquidator, LLC) is a privately held online secondary ticket marketplace founded in 2002 and headquartered in South Windsor, Connecticut. The platform connects ticket sellers with buyers for concerts, sports, theater, and music festival events across North America (US and Canada) and parts of Europe (United Kingdom and France), surfacing inventory across 110,000+ events and millions of individual tickets.

The core product is a single direct-to-consumer e-commerce marketplace at ticketliquidator.com, supported by an affiliate distribution layer across Impact Radius, Rakuten LinkShare, AvantLink, and CJ/Commission Junction. The platform offers embeddable search and event-list widgets, full-catalog data feeds, and deep-linking tools for partners, with a 100% money-back guarantee covering ticket validity and on-time delivery. No public API, SDK, or AI/ML product features are documented in available source material.

The business model is a transactional take-rate marketplace: Ticket Liquidator facilitates resale transactions between buyers and third-party sellers and earns commissions, with most orders averaging $350 and some exceeding $1,000. Ticket Liquidator operates as a subsidiary under TicketNetwork, Inc., which provides shared technology and infrastructure. The customer base is a long tail of individual event consumers purchasing across concert, sports, theater, comedy, and festival verticals, served largely through affiliate-driven traffic acquisition and direct search.
