History

TicketBiscuit was founded by Jeff Gale in 2001.
In 2008 the company launched BattlePass, which it calls the first ticketing system built specifically for combat sports. It also built WhistleTix, a ticketing system for tourist railroads, and Promotozoa, a tool that provides a link allowing visitors to client Web sites to share information about upcoming events.[2]
The same year the company also announced integrations with the event listing site Eventful and the social networking site Facebook[3]

In 2009 the company added a suite of mobile ticketing features to provide event organizers and venues with Web pages optimized for viewing on mobile phones and give [clients] customers the ability to purchase tickets via these mobile-optimized Web pages.[4]

TicketBiscuit has a company blog where the authors provide "commentary, research, rants, and reviews." [5]
