  • Comment: The only in-depth coverage the subject received is from Festival Insights, which is not considered a reliable source. Therefore, multiple independent reliable sources are needed to establish notability, as other sources only provide passing mentions and report what the owner of investors says.

Tixel is a private ticket resale marketplace headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, allowing users to buy and sell tickets for events such as concerts, festivals, sports, and theatre shows after they have been initially sold by the original ticket seller. Founded by Zac Leigh, Jason Webb, and Denis Mysenko[1]. Tixel launched in Australia in 2018 and expanded into the UK in September 2021.[2] [3][4]

In 2021, the company secured a investment of AUD 1.5 million from investors such as Alberts and UNIFIED Music Group, aimed at expanding its operations and technology infrastructure.[5][6]

In 2023, Tixel formed a partnership with Superstruct Entertainment, a UK-based festival organizer known for events such as the Boardmasters Festival and Y Not Festival.[7]

Awards
