Brown Paper Tickets is a Seattle-based business which provides ticket management support for any organizer hosting any sort of ticketed event.[1]
Brown Paper Tickets attempts to provide ways for event organizers to provide tickets with lower costs than larger ticket companies.[1] The organization emphasizes simplicity in its ticketing sales process.[2] The company's culture includes providing support to encourage employees to volunteer for charitable causes for 40 hours yearly. There has been recent controversy with the company not only failing to return money for events canceled in the wake of COVID-19, but also not making payments on tickets that were sold and paid for in advance of the COVID-19 issues for events that were held before COVID-19 became an area of concern, resulting in a wave of complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau.[3]
