Event Live

What Event Live does

Event Live is a privately-held, for-profit online ticketing platform founded in 2014 and headquartered in Tampa, Florida. It enables event organizers, venues, and promoters to list, promote, and sell tickets for live music events, concerts, and festivals across the United States through a web-based self-serve platform. The platform's product surface spans event marketing, production coordination, ticketing, and access control, with event pages displaying artist information, venue details, dates, times, and ticket pricing. Tickets are sold within a $0 to $299 price range, and the company has extended into cashless payment processing for concessions and on-site purchases, indicating a broader event-day commerce ambition beyond primary ticket sales.

The business model is built on transaction fees charged on ticket sales processed through the platform, supplemented by ancillary services such as marketing and access control. Named venue and festival customers include Soundwell SLC (Salt Lake City), Bayboro Brewing (St. Petersburg FL), Harley-Davidson of Greenville (Greenville SC), Zodiac (Ybor City FL), and the On High festival in Salem OR, with active events spanning at least five US markets. The platform also exposes a "Request a Demo" entry point, suggesting a B2B sales motion aimed at larger promoters and venue operators alongside the self-serve flow.

Operationally, Event Live runs with a lean team — only one named executive is disclosed (James Lopez, COO) — and the primary contact email ([email protected]) routes through live-event promoter LNE Presents, indicating a close operational or ownership linkage with that promoter network. No funding rounds, AI/ML capabilities, patents, certifications, or formal partnerships are disclosed in the available data.
