What matters
Ticketing that buyers search first and organisers trust to sell more.
Local Tickets is being shaped around practical event creation, buyer confidence, low fees and the discovery tools needed to become a go-to marketplace for online ticket sales.
Secure checkout
Payment flows should use trusted providers for cards, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay, with SCA-friendly checkout for UK buyers.
Rich event pages
Create event listings with images, clear dates, useful links and embedded video previews for trailers, bands and attraction walkthroughs.
Event discovery
Homepage search, local discovery and curated rails should help buyers find what is new, trending and happening near them.
Verified reviews
After an event date has passed, ticket holders should be able to leave a public 0-5 star review to help future buyers choose confidently.
Ready to scale
The same experience should support village hall shows, seating plans, promotional placements, timed-entry attractions and larger venue programmes.
Discovery marketplace
Give coordinators ways to boost visibility when tickets need momentum.
The long-term direction is a ticket marketplace where buyers can search, browse local events and discover what is gaining attention, while organisers can choose paid promotional placements when they need more reach.
Homepage priority
Give selected events stronger placement on the home page during important on-sale windows.
New and trending
Surface events with fresh listings, fast sales or strong local interest in a dedicated discovery rail.
In my area
Help buyers browse events near their town, postcode or chosen radius once location search is connected.
Highly rated

Category boosts

Seasonal campaigns
Create curated moments for pantomime season, school holidays, summer attractions and local festivals.
Venue spotlights
Give larger venues and trusted organisers a way to showcase programmes, not just single events.
Event creation
Build a better event page without making it complicated.
Creators should be able to add images, write useful event details, link to a website or social channel and paste a video link that appears as an embedded preview on the event page.
