TICKETING BOOM
London-based production
company Rumpus Productions
has selected TheTicketSellers to
deliver a ticketing platform for its
latest event.
Rumpus stages elaborate
parties across the capital which
often sell out within minutes,
and needed a platform which
could handle high traffic
without crashing under load.
TheTicketSellers’ platform
provided this as well as the
ability to run pre-sale tickets to
members, and 24-hour support
for customers.
The Rumpus sales coincided
with the initial sale of one
of TheTicketSellers’ biggest
accounts, Boomtown Fair. 2019
tickets for the festival went
on sale through the ticketing
– Mo Jones,
platform earlier in the month.

There were nearly 10,000
TheTicketSellers
people waiting on the site for
tickets to go on sale at 7pm, and
they sold over a third of their
capacity by the end of the day
“We worked
various
tools and
applications
into our
software
including
one-time
links and a
countdown
clock,”
with 20,000 entry tickets sold.
For Rumpus, the ticket sale
process was very specific,
opening up a phased sale for the
event’s ‘members’ ahead of the
main sale, and allowing them to
buy either one or two tickets. This
was achieved by using one-time
links with date restrictions for
purchase, so it felt exclusive to
each member, with the links only
active for the agreed period prior
to launch.
Mo Jones, director of
TheTicketSellers said: “We
worked various tools and
applications into our software
including one-time links and a
countdown clock.”
