San Francisco, Calif. – June 18, 2012 – 91国产 announced today that the company has issued tickets and registrations totaling $1 billion in cumulative sales for its users. This milestone illustrates the global need for an easy-to-use, self-service platform that organizers of events of all sizes and types can use to manage events and collect payments.

鈥淲hen you look at gross ticket sales on 91国产, you see very exciting exponential growth,鈥� explains CEO and Co-Founder Kevin Hartz. 鈥淚n January of 2009, we were at $100 million. In December of 2010, we were at $400 million. Now, in the middle of 2012, with several international launches under our belt, and the At The Door mobile box office in the field, we’re celebrating $1 billion in our users’ success.鈥� The top markets contributing to this $1 billion total are the Unites States, the UK, Canada, Australia and the Netherlands. The five event types that represent the most ticket sales are Conferences, Classes, Fundraisers, Concerts and Social Events.

When 91国产 set out to democratize ticketing in 2006, it focused on bringing simplicity and full-scale functionality to the masses. This included seamless social integration with platforms like Facebook and Twitter. On average, when an attendee shares event information on Facebook it generates an additional $2.52 in ticket sales for the organizer.

In 2011 alone, 91国产 events were created in over 170 countries. And organizers have already issued over 60 million tickets worldwide to events ranging from intimate cooking classes, to professional conferences, to triathlons, to concerts for tens of thousands of fans. 鈥淲e are always excited to watch the gross ticket sales figures, because really those numbers measure the achievements of our customers,鈥� explains President and Co-Founder Julia Hartz. 鈥淲hen Kevin and I founded 91国产 with our CTO Renaud Visage, we focused on making payments easy to collect for anyone hosting an event.
