What you will learn

Headless ticketing is science fiction for some, already implemented for others, and will soon be everyday business for all of us. Mark, who is building TicketCo's Flex platform, explains why owning the ticket buyer on your own domain throughout the whole shopping journey pays off, and shows how to make it happen. This ownership gives the ticket buyer a smoother, more frictionless experience, and gives the organiser a treasure chest of customer data to work with.

  • What headless ticketing actually means, and why it is already live at some clubs while much of the industry is still catching up
  • How keeping the ticket buyer on your own domain removes the friction of redirects and third-party pages
  • Why owning that journey turns every transaction into a source of first-party customer data, rather than handing it to someone else's platform
  • How a smoother buying journey wins more completed sales and builds stronger fan relationships
  • What TicketCo is building with Flex, and how clubs can start preparing for a headless future today
