Salary benchmarks

Otta's take

Theo Margolius headshot

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

Founded in 2013 by Broadway veterans Brian Fenty and Merritt Baer, TodayTix Group has grown to become a global eCommerce leader for cultural experiences. Aiming to connect a worldwide audience with theatre, opera and dance productions, to date it has sold over 70 million tickets to 200,000 shows listed on its platform.

While numerous ticket sellers exist, TodayTix was an innovator in this area, arriving at a time when mobile devices accounted for less than 1/1000th of all theatrical ticket sales. Standing out with its extensive tech stack including widgets, API and white label software for its partners, it is able to provide an excellent customer experience with a checkout process of less than 30 seconds. This has led to around 5% of all sales on Broadway being processed through TodayTix's platform today.

Since 2020, TodayTix has focused heavily on acquisitions, focusing on tech-forward theatre and cultural event companies. These includes Goldstar, Show-Score, Encore and Broadway Roulette. Most recently TodayTix has acquired Secret Cinema, growing its participation in the immersive film and television events space and strengthening its market leading position in the entertainment industry.
