EQ Tickets operates a secondary ticket marketplace that undercuts some competitors by placing a transparent, fair markup that can make tickets 20–30% cheaper. The company added social features—bookmarking and the ability to follow and connect with other fans—to make discovering and attending live events more social. EQ has also launched a primary ticketing platform for events, side parties and afterparties, initially without fees and now operating with a small markup and standard rev-share models. The startup reports six figures in gross ticket sales to date, including $30,000 in ticket sales for a single event night, and a 30% repeat buyer rate among early adopters. EQ is available via web and mobile web and plans to launch a native mobile app later this year. The team is roughly 10 people (including consultants) based out of LA with developers and engineers in Denver and Boston; founder Aaron lives in Huntsville, Alabama.
