About TodayTix
We believe life is better with theater in it. Theater brings us together, challenges our perspectives, and ultimately develops us into more complete humans. No matter who you are or where you’re from.
That’s why we’re on a mission to make theater as accessible as possible and find a seat for everyone.
Launched in 2013, TodayTix is now the largest theater ticketing platform in the world. We work with thousands of venues to provide the best-priced tickets available in the biggest cities around the world, including New York City, London’s West End, Toronto, the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Seattle, Washington DC, Chicago, and Australia. Through effortless access to the best shows, insightful guidance to the world of theater, and thoughtful service at each moment along the way, we enable people to discover the best that their city has to offer.
We’re seeking highly motivated team members to join us in disrupting an old supply chain model, creating greater access to theater, and expanding the theater-going audience.
We want people of all backgrounds to see themselves represented and included in our work, so we actively seek to diversify our team and bring more voices to the table. All applicants are welcome!
