TicketSource Ltd is a box-office management system provider based in Penarth, Wales. The company was founded in 2004 by Alex McLauchlan and Simon Wilsher, a theatre enthusiast, to help amateur theatre groups with their online ticket sales and booking.[1] The TicketSource system still supports a free version of the software based on the original offering.

It joined the Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers in 2012.[2] It has sponsored events including the National Rural Touring Awards,[3][4] the Cardiff Fringe Theatre Festival[5] and Pride Cymru's Big Weekend.[6]

In 2014, the company launched TicketSource in the United States and the Eurozone.[7]

In 2016, The Times included it in a list of companies making excessive charges for credit-card payments.[8]

In 2017, the website had been used by more than 20,000 organizers of events, and was ranked 20th in a list of the 50 fastest-growing companies in Wales.[9][10][11]
