Ticketbud
Ticketbud C.E.O. Lynn Yeldell says the system is targeted at nonprofits and small organizations. Planners pay a flat $99 fee to use the platform to sell unlimited tickets at any price. Buyers' payments go directly to the planner’s merchant account of choice (PayPal, Stripe, or Authorize.net). Cancer fund-raisers can use Ticketbud for free. Planners can use the system to send and track email messages to guests and to solicit sponsorships, with payment processed via credit card on the site. Ticketbud was the official ticketing partner and sponsor of the Austin Music Awards during South by Southwest; it has also processed tickets for large events such as the Rocky Mountain Air Show, which had 60,000 attendees.
