Introduction

From branding and checkout flows to customer data and revenue streams, TicketSocket powers ticket sales for events of all shapes and sizes while ensuring organisers maintain ownership every step.

The Challenge

TicketSocket, a white-label ticketing platform offering full control over branding, data, and revenue, wanted to empower its clients with more than just a customisable platform. It aimed to provide event organisers with a competitive edge by enabling flexible, customer-first experiences while creating a new revenue opportunity.

The Solution

TicketSocket added Refund Protect to its white-label checkout process, giving organisers the option to offer fully refundable ticket upgrades to their customers. The integration was seamless and fully aligned with TicketSocket’s mission to deliver total control and customisation without sacrificing innovation.

The Result

In 2024 alone, over 37,000 customers chose to upgrade to a refundable ticket, generating more than $350,000 in added value. With a strong 16% conversion rate, Refund Protect proved to be a highly effective tool for increasing customer satisfaction while driving real revenue.
