"These partnerships and additional investment are a testament to Project Admission's novel solution – a technology platform for a multitude of stakeholders that is transforming the entire life cycle of ticking including how and where a ticket is purchased, how its distributed, and how this can ultimately benefit/uplift a fan's entire experience," said Stephen Glicken, Project Admission CEO. "The first quarter of 2023 was the seventh consecutive quarter of 20-percent-plus ticket revenue growth for us, with ticket revenue increasing by more than 440 percent annually.  With the new investment, we will expand into new markets and verticals to further accelerate our growth."

"Project Admission is one of the few that actually has the technology and team to deliver on both those."

"Ticketing continues to constantly evolve with the ever-changing landscape that is the live event industry and Project Admission is at the forefront," says Michael Proman, Managing Director of Scrum Sports and Entertainment Fund. "While the technology is cutting edge, the approach is fundamental: make it simple for stakeholders to deliver a better experience for their fans which ultimately drives revenue and retention."
