Teatre Barcelona

What Teatre Barcelona does

Teatre Barcelona is a Barcelona-based direct-to-consumer online ticketing platform and digital theater magazine serving the Catalan performing arts market. Operated by the private limited company Escenes i Públiques, SL, the platform aggregates ticket inventory for venues including Teatre Tívoli, Teatre Coliseum, Teatre Romea, La Villarroel, Teatre Poliorama, and Teatre Borràs, and surfaces editorial content such as reviews, artist interviews, and festival coverage. It is integrated with OneBox TDS for transactional ticketing and supports Facebook and Google SSO for account creation.

The company's product surface spans a core Cartellera show listings and Entrades ticket purchase flow, supported by Abonaments subscription packages, Tiquets Regal gift tickets, Promocions discount campaigns, and Concursos ticket giveaways. The Revista magazine and the annual IX Premis Teatre Barcelona awards institutionalize the platform as both a ticketing channel and an editorial authority within Catalonia. Sister brands extend the same formula to Madrid (teatromadrid.com) and family/children's theater (teatreinfantilbarcelona.com).

Teatre Barcelona monetizes via a transaction-fee commission on tickets sold through the platform, with unit pricing ranging from approximately €16.20 to €42.00 per ticket before promotional discounts of -15% to -50%. The customer base exceeds 200,000 registered members, making it self-described as the largest theater community in Catalonia. Marketing is conducted through the website, email newsletters segmented by category (Groups, News, Promotions, Family, Humor), organic social, and the awards ceremony. The company operates without disclosed external funding, has no mobile app, and does not advertise API access or AI capabilities.
