About Us
Ingresso provides ticketing technology that benefits the suppliers and distributors of tickets, such as venue & event box offices, theme parks & attractions, ticket agents, tour operators and event producers / promoters.
Our unique TicketSwitch software connects the ticket platform of the supplier to sales distribution outlets at a reduced cost, enabling the supplier to retain control of the inventory and customer base. The supplier is therefore able to reduce a significant proportion of their back office administration, whilst customers can purchase the tickets they want right up until just before the time of the event through whichever channel they normally access.
Ingresso also provides a tailored affiliate recruitment and management service, helping affiliates and distributors maximise their sales and reducing administration.
Products
Ingresso provides a range of technology solutions designed to assist suppliers in enhancing specific elements of their ticket distribution strategy. By connecting directly to a supplier’s ticketing platform and working seamlessly with it, our TicketSwitch system enables suppliers to widen the electronic distribution of their tickets without the need for costly and laborious allocation management. All sales are made directly from the inventory systems eliminating credit risk, reducing contracting and channel management costs and giving suppliers full control over their inventory.
If you are an affiliate or distributor your customers can access live inventory from a wide range of suppliers while you earn a margin share on all tickets sold. You will reduce contracting and administration costs allowing you to concentrate resources on driving sales. To help you keep track of your inventory, all our supplier, affiliate and distribution solutions come with access to a suite of real time sales reports.

TicketSwitch Affiliate Solutions
The Ticketswitch affiliate solution allows you to gain access to tickets without contracting with multiple suppliers with the option to connect via standard links, XML feeds or be able to partially or fully integrate into our XML-core. Your customers experience real-time access to the best available live inventory which can be bought right up to the last minute. Ingresso will pay you a commission on a gross profit share basis rather than a flat per ticket fee, rewarding you for ticket value rather than ticket quantity. As payment collection, ticket fulfilment and after sales are provided by the supplier, the affiliate solution enables you to improve profitability on your ticket sales.
TicketSwitch Distributor Solutions
The TicketSwitch distributor solution allows you to market tickets on your sales channels by sourcing tickets via XML feeds from a wide range of ticket inventory suppliers. These tickets are then included in your basket with other non-ticket items. Your customers will experience real-time access to the best available live inventory while you will have direct connection to tickets via a single contract with Ingresso. TicketSwitch Distributor removes the hassle of managing contracts and fulfilment with multiple suppliers. Ingresso will pay you a commission on a gross profit share basis rather than a flat per ticket fee, rewarding you for ticket value rather than ticket quantity.
