Ticket Wallet

AI-optimized ticket resale

Ticket Wallet is an AI-powered resale platform for season ticket holders and brokers. We automate pricing, listing, and distribution across all major marketplaces. Today, most tickets are still sold manually: spreadsheets, guessing prices, and listing on one site at a time. The biggest brokers outsource pricing to teams in the Philippines… We built Ticket Wallet because we lived this. Truman has been flipping tickets for the last 5 years. Ryan built pricing software after seeing the mess first-hand. We’ve turned that pain into a product. Since launch, we’ve onboarded $3M+ in ticket inventory, signed up 100+ paying sellers, and started working with pro teams. We charge 10% per ticket sold. This is our wedge into the $26B resale market. Other platforms cost you money. We make you more of it.

Co-Founder of Ticket Wallet I studied computer science with a focus on machine learning at Princeton and was always looking for a good startup idea. When I found out how manual, time consuming, and difficult selling tickets was I knew there was a serious opportunity to apply AI to this problem.

🌐 The Origin Story
Ryan and I (Truman) met on the Princeton Men’s Soccer team and have been best friends for nearly 8 years. He studied computer science with a focus on AI/ML, and I studied econ. Ryan could build, I could sell - we just needed something to work on.

We finally got the chance our senior year when we tried selling our own season tickets.

It was terrible. The process was manual, time-consuming, and completely outdated. That pain quickly turned into an obsession.

💥 The Problem We’re Solving
It's really difficult to sell tickets, especially if you have a lot of them. Brokers are the power sellers of the industry, often moving $10M+ in ticket volume annually. Yet they are stuck using spreadsheets, updating prices manually, and listing tickets on one site at a time. You can think of it like day trading on the stock market 10+ years ago. Even crazier, the biggest brokers are hiring pricing teams in the Philippines…

It’s 2025. We have self-driving cars but ticket sellers are still updating rows in Excel and refreshing StubHub?

🔨 What We’re Building
Ticket Wallet is the first AI-powered selling system for ticket brokers. We price, list, and manage their tickets across all the major marketplaces (Ticketmaster, StubHub, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, Gametime, Tickpick, AXS, etc...) Sellers just press “list” and we handle the rest.

Since launching, we’ve onboarded over $3M in ticket inventory, 100+ paying sellers, and we’re starting to work with pro sports teams. We charge 10% of every ticket sold.

Ticket brokers using Ticket Wallet have seen a 27% increase in revenue per ticket sold. We run their entire business

The market for ticket brokers in the US is $26.3B.

🔑 Key Features:

  • AI pricing that updates 24/7
  • Listings pushed everywhere automatically
  • Central dashboard to manage inventory
  • Analytics to track progress and sales
  • Zero manual work
  • Website and mobile application

It’s like giving sellers superpowers - or at least their weekends back.

🧿 What We’re Looking For:

  • Feedback from anyone selling tickets (or trying to!)
  • Warm intros to pro teams, ticket brokers, or season ticket holders
  • YC Alum with sports/entertainment connections or partnerships we should explore
  • Download our mobile app on iOS (Ticket Wallet):
