TodayTix Announces $73 Million Growth Equity Investment

TodayTix has announced a $73 million growth equity investment led by leading growth oriented private equity firm Great Hill Partners. The investment brings total capital raised since its last public financing round to $90 million.

Founded in 2013, TodayTix created a central place for audiences to discover and explore the shows and experiences in their city, and easily purchase the best-priced tickets. The company's expanding media services, global reach and mobile-first platform brought a new digital-savvy audience of 5 million global customers to the $17.5 billion theater industry in the U.S. TodayTix has sold more than 4 million tickets to date, accounting for eight percent of all Broadway tickets sold annually and four percent in London's West End.

With Great Hill Partners' investment, which was facilitated with guidance from Methuselah Advisors, TodayTix will be able to enter its next stage of growth. This involves internal modifications, including closing out secondary purchases of original investors, but will focus more on outward-facing growth and utilizing the company's proprietary data-driven audience feedback to offer new shows, arts and cultural experiences and double down on expanding its technologies in discovery and personalization for both consumers and partners.

"TodayTix is rapidly changing the way millennials and other consumers connect with live cultural experiences," said Michael Kumin, a Managing Partner, Great Hill Partners. "We look forward to working with Brian, Merritt and their talented management team to expand the Company's product and service offerings and accelerate its push into new geographies."
