ShowClix


ShowClix is an online event ticketing service. It is made by Patron Technology, headquartered in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that handles ticket sales, marketing, and on-site operations for fandom conventions, museums, attractions, festivals, consumer shows, and music and comedy venues. New York Comic Con, Museum of Ice Cream, and The Daily Show are among ShowClix's customers.

History

The company was founded in 2007 by Joshua Dziabiak and Lynsie Campbell, initially as an event registration database. The pair later focused on creating a web-based ticketing solution. Prior to forming the company, Dziabiak met Campbell while working together at Spreadshirt, an online platform for creating and selling personalized apparel.
The company was launched in 2011.
On July 31, 2017, ShowClix received a strategic investment by Providence Strategic Growth, the growth equity affiliate of Providence Equity Partners. With that investment, ShowClix and PatronManager became the first two products at Patron Technology.
In 2019, ShowClix apologized for a ticketing "meltdown" at Burning Man that led to difficulty getting tickets, which ShowClix chalked up to a "manual intervention" during a sale.
