About Tixplorer

Ticket shoppers shouldn't have to open five browser tabs to find the best price. Tixplorer was built to fix that.

How it started

Tixplorer was started in 2023 by Cameron Roth in a dorm room at the University of Wisconsin. The idea was simple: the ticket market is fragmented across a handful of marketplaces, each with different fee structures, each claiming to have the best price. Comparing them manually is painful, and most people don't bother.

Cameron taught himself to code and built the first version of Tixplorer. Tixplorer was launched with seed money from winning pitch competitions at the University of Wisconsin and DePaul University. He then built partnerships with the top marketplaces, aggregated their inventory, and built the site to show the lowest all-in price across every source in one place.

What we do

For every event, we pull tickets from TicketNetwork, Vivid Seats, Gametime, StubHub International, and Events365. We show them all on one page, sorted by the true all-in price (no hidden fees surfacing at checkout). When you click a ticket, you're taken directly to that marketplace to complete your purchase — same guarantees, same experience, but you found the best price in seconds instead of minutes.

How we make money

Tixplorer is free to use. When you buy a ticket after clicking through our site, the marketplace pays us a small affiliate commission — at no extra cost to you. We only get paid when you find a ticket worth buying, which keeps our incentives aligned with yours.
