Tickets for good, not greed: How we’re taking on the exploitative ticketing industry
Dec 3rd 2024
In a world where ticket buyers and event hosts have long been subjected to exorbitant fees and subpar service, Humanitix is offering an antidote. As the only ticketing platform that dedicates 100% of profits to charity, we’re rewriting the rules of ticketing, doing business differently and proving capitalism can be compassionate.
For too long, event attendees and organisers have had to accept high fees and shady ticketing practices, lining the pockets of scalpers and corporate giants while leaving them feeling underserved and overcharged. We’re working to change that.
At the core of our work is a simple promise: Tickets for good, not greed. We're on a mission to transform booking fees from a necessary evil into a force for positive change. Every time you purchase a ticket through Humanitix, 100% of the profits is dedicated to supporting charitable causes that impact lives locally and globally. Whether it's providing access to education, healthcare, food, or basic stability, we're committed to making a tangible difference in the world.
Doing business differently
But our vision extends beyond philanthropy. We're redefining what it means to do business, placing humanity at the forefront of every decision; from our profit-for-purpose model to our ethical resale feature where buyers never pay more than the original ticket price.
In a landscape often characterised by cutthroat competition and profit maximisation, we're demonstrating that capitalism can be compassionate. We’re proving that when we apply the rules of business to create as much impact as possible, we can competitively scale successful enterprises and put humanity first at the same time.
We’re channelling the inherent goodwill of ticket buyers and event organisers to amplify our impact and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most. Whether it's supporting effective initiatives to eradicate poverty, provide education or improve health outcomes, Humanitix is committed to addressing the most pressing challenges facing our world today.
Everyone deserves a seat
But our commitment to social responsibility doesn't end there. We believe that everyone deserves a seat, and that we have an imperative role to play in improving event accessibility. In fact, we aim to be the most accessible ticketing platform in the world.
From early in the Humanitix journey, we’ve made accessibility a core part of our product strategy. We've implemented a whole load of features, including implementing features to ensure our website, platform and app can be used by people with low vision and visual impairments and that event information like venue accessibility for people with disabilities can be easily added to event listings and accessed by attendees on the day of the event.
All of these, as well as developing our own colour contrast automation algorithm, have helped make events, the event hosting experience, and the tools we offer on Humanitix accessible for everyone.
We're rewriting the rules. Ready to join us?
With Humanitix, every ticket purchase counts towards a better world. Humanitix is not just a platform; we aim to be catalyst for real change. We invite you to join us in our mission to be the antidote to the norm, to challenge the status quo, and to pave the way for a more equitable and compassionate future.
Together, we can rewrite the rules of ticketing - and of business - and prove that when we prioritise people and our planet, we can all win.
So the next time you're planning an event or buying a ticket, remember to choose Humanitix and tickets for good, not greed.
