Say goodbye to hidden fees and high ticket prices

The cost of the average ticket has more than doubled within the past 5 years, with sites adding astronomical fees that can add up to 30% of the original ticket price. The skyrocketing prices have led fans to go to extremes, like taking on a second job just to buy a ticket to their favorite shows.

With 20+ years of experience in sports, entertainment, and music industries, co-founders and brothers Aaron and Ryan Caradonna and artist-executive Matt Raposo, (Rapta), are tackling high resale ticket prices head-on. The company’s goal is to build a trusted social community that goes way beyond transactions to strengthen the connection between artists, fans and communities.

“We were the kids that would show up to a baseball game two hours early to watch a team practice and try to get our favorite players’ autograph,” Ryan Caradonna, co-founder and co-CEO, states. “Now we have a special opportunity to merge the best worlds of social media and live events to create the best destination for fans to connect with communities, while avoiding outrageous fees other platforms charge.”

Here’s what EQ Tickets offers:

• Most comprehensive inventory anywhere, covering 90% of the total fan experience compared to competitors like Ticketmaster, that only offer 10%.
• A trusted destination for popular events and concerts with ticket prices that are 20-30% less on average.
• New social features that helps fans connect with friends, share interests, or post and comment on events so others will always know what’s popular in their community.

EQ Tickets’s goal is to end purely transactional sites and expensive resellers that have lost the trust of fans and artists. The company has already forged deep connections, with a 100% retention rate for primary event creators and 30% of purchases coming from repeat customers.

“Ryan, Aaron, and Rapta have created a unique approach to innovating in ticketing and live events that focus on serving the needs of fans and event creators everywhere,” said Fred Warren, founder of Sage Venture Partners. “With the ticketing market expected to reach $168 billion by 2025, the team is uniquely positioned to bridge the worlds of social media, events and experiences, with the best prices on tickets anywhere.”

Backed by Sage Venture Partners (early investor in Apple), EQ Tickets is on a mission to create a one stop shop for the ultimate fan experience at an affordable price point. For those looking to join the growing community, fans can sign up and create a profile at www.eq.tickets.
