More about our funding
‘A site that makes everyone a winner, from audiences who don't want large booking fees, to artists who can't afford them. As an ethos, I feel like the necessary evil is transformed into a pay-it-forward initiative that I and other artists can benefit from. Plus, constructing your ticket page is so easy, and the site is clean and slick. I don't see a need to use another site again.’
Cat Loud - Singer, writer and cabaret performer

The Ignite Fund
We've raised £1673.70 of our first goal of £1000.
We aim to raise £100,000 over two years for artists to create new work
We raise funding for the arts via booking fees. 30% of our income goes into the Ignite Fund which artists can apply to in order to create new work.
Out of the Ignite Fund, we award grants to artists to create new work. Artists can apply to the Ignite Fund if they fulfil our two simple criteria:
1.
The work is live and performed in front of an audience
2.
The applicants have had a connection to Tickets Ignite during the last 12 months e.g. ran an event or performed in a show sold via Tickets Ignite
Our grant scheme will open this Autumn. Join our mailing list and we'll let you know when our funding opens.
Who runs the company?
Tickets Ignite was co-founded by theatre producer Emily Thommes, and lighting designer and programmer Oscar Wyatt.
We both know all too well the financial struggles that artists face and saw a clear way to help solve this problem through starting Tickets Ignite.
With Emily's practical experience of what event organisers require from ticketing platforms and Oscar's experience as a designer and computer programmer, we are ideally suited to creating a ticketing platform that can help fund new work.

Cat Loud - Singer, writer & cabaret performer
‘We’d previously used Eventbrite and had become frustrated with the faceless nature of it...We found Tickets Ignite to be a breath of fresh air within the box office industry. Emily and Oscar couldn’t do enough for us, they assisted with any questions and responded to audience members straight away. They also developed elements of their website based on our feedback, which meant that the service felt more like a partnership. I would highly recommend Tickets Ignite.’
Suzanne Booth - Artistic Director & Chair of Board. Bristol Shakespeare Festival
‘I have been using Tickets Ignite for a few months now for a weekly yoga class I manage. It has been such a lifesaver. It is great to be using a ticketing company that funds the arts. It's a win win situation and all the people who have bought tickets for the event have raved about it. My only regret is that I didn't know about this sooner!’
Amy Perrett - Yoga class instructor at Somerset House
‘Tickets Ignite is an easy-to-use, attractive and smoothly functional ticket-selling platform with a beautiful ambition at its core. The concept of raising money for other projects while promoting your own is a brilliant, mutually satisfying deal.’
Tom Crowley - Story Etc. Live fundraiser
