Jorge Perdomo - Creator, The Fluffy Cloud

I used to look at ticketing platforms as a commodity, until I found Ticket Fairy. Finally there was a platform that didn't just get the job done, but helped me get the job done better. By which I mean, helped me sell more tickets.

Their integrated customer referral system is magic, direct backend integration with Meta APIs, and our ability to customize our ticketing pages with rich content like videos, GIFs, background skins, and more helped increase our conversions significantly.

In the past I felt we had great promotion value on our digital ads, but it ended the moment people clicked to our ticketing site. With Ticket Fairy, the vibe we are pushing, the experience we are selling, is maintained throughout.

A sophisticated and powerful ticket and marketing system that remains incredibly intuitive and easy to use.
