An Irish live-events discovery and ticketing platform out of PorterShed, Galway. Product shipped, apps live, first county board signed. What follows is what is verifiably true today.

galwaycamogie.ie fixtures pages link live to ticketsoft.com/event/…. We fetched the page and confirmed the links. This is a real, working, in-production client relationship, not a logo on a deck.
This is how TicketSoft describes its own arc, and it is the reason the outreach engine is built as a ladder rather than a single campaign.
H1 NOW Normal users using the ticket aggregator on the site
-> consumer demand + organiser awareness
H2 NEXT Organisers running their own ticketing on TicketSoft
-> the actual revenue engine, per-ticket economics
H3 LATER On-chain ticketing
-> verified ownership, anti-scalping, resale royalties
| Horizon | The outbound offer | The ask |
|---|---|---|
| H1 | "Your event is on TicketSoft. Here is the traffic we sent you last month." | Claim your page (free) |
| H2 | "You got X views from us. Sell through us and keep more of the ticket." | Switch ticketing |
| H3 | "Every ticket verifiable, resale controlled, and the artist earns on resale." | Design partner |
H3 was described to us as "UCP doing blockchain." We have read that as on-chain ticketing. If UCP is a specific protocol, product or partner, the H3 positioning changes and we need the expansion before it goes in any deck.
"TicketSoft" is not a clean brand string. Four other entities occupy it, two of them in the same industry.
| Entity | What it is | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| ticketsoft.nl | Dutch ticketing system | Same industry |
| Ticketsoft Colombia | Billing / ticketing, LatAm | Same industry |
| Ticket Soft (soft.ru) | Russian ticketing system | Same industry |
| Ticketsoft of Dallas | Cinema software, acquired by Vista Group 2015 | Historic |
They currently rank #1 for their own brand, so the top of the SERP is safe. The exposure is in AI answers and on review sites, where a namesake can absorb high-intent traffic. Handled in the fix list.
