North East Events
Newcastle and the wider North East have a passionate sporting culture. From non-league football to rugby, cricket, and boxing — grassroots sport is the lifeblood of local communities.
Affordable Ticketing
North East clubs know the value of money. When budgets are tight, paying 10-15% of ticket revenue to a ticketing platform is not just annoying — it is unsustainable. Tickts charges zero platform fees.
Features That Matter
- Door scanning with offline mode — essential for grounds with patchy wifi
- Season passes for dedicated supporters
- Box office for walk-up sales
- Payment plans so fans can spread the cost of season passes
