Our Story
Learn more about Red61’s history, foundations, and future aspirations below.
Red Sixty One (Red61), owner of the Red61 Ticketing System, is an Edinburgh-based ticketing software business, formed in 2002 to provide solutions to festivals, events, performing arts organisations, venues and ticket agencies.
Red61 grew out of a desire to build a different kind of ticketing solution supplier, creating sustainable, long term, collaborative relationships with its clients.
Focusing initially on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the largest arts festival in the world, processing 3 million tickets for a month long festival at its height, we had a number of goals.
Build a sophisticated platform that’s exceedingly simple to use
Create groundbreaking technology
Carry an unwavering commitment to delivering a great customer journey
Red61 now has clients in the UK, Canada, the US, Australia, and New Zealand, and has worked in South Africa, the United Arab Emirates and Papua New Guinea, with staff based in the UK, Canada and Australia.
From high volume, complex, multi-site ticketing structures, to small events, festivals and venues, Red61 offers a flexible, modern platform built upon an ethos of partnership with our clients and the industry experience of our team.
We pride ourselves on our commitment to responsive, high quality customer support, an unbeatable level of service that comes standard with every Red61 client relationship.
With the customer experience at the heart of everything we do, we deliver a modern yet simple and convenient solution that will exceed your customers’ expectations, and make a dramatic improvement to your day-to-day ticketing operation.
All of this is why some of the world’s leading arts organisations have made the switch to Red61.
