“We’re thrilled to announce our latest growth investment, which will help accelerate our ability to transform the ticketing industry,” said O’Brien in a statement. “We founded TickPick with the unwavering commitment to deliver a transparent and hassle-free ticket-buying experience for consumers. This investment will allow us to deepen this commitment by accelerating the pace of product innovation, raise our brand awareness, and reach more customers than ever before.”
Goldberg added, “We have built a relationship with Brighton Park over many years and the firm is our clear partner of choice given its strong track record of partnering with founder-led companies and marketplace platforms, which we believe will help us continue to scale the business and drive a lasting impact.”
Kevin Magan, partner at Brighton Park Capital, added, “TickPick has demonstrated tremendous growth by offering a strong value proposition that both enhances the customer experience and removes one of the biggest pain points for consumers with its no-fee model. TickPick’s recent growth and partnerships with some of the largest sports leagues and teams in the world is a testament to their appeal among a broad customer base, and we’re excited to partner with Brett, Chris and the incredibly talented TickPick team as they continue to disrupt the ticketing industry.”
As part of the transaction, private equity firm GreyLion will exit its position in TickPick following its 2019 investment in the company.
