Our mission

We empower venues and event organisers to create thriving events and communities through genuine partnerships.

Who we are

We’re Australia’s largest independent ticketing company

For over 20 years, we’ve partnered with 22,000+ event organisers to deliver 33 million tickets across music, venues, shows, sports, and government events nationwide.

Australian owned and operated

We’re independently Australian owned with our headquarters in Brisbane. Our platform is hosted in Australia, built and continuously improved in-house by our 50+ full-time team plus casual workforce nationwide.

This means your data stays in Australia, you get support from people who understand the Australian events landscape, and you’re working with a company that’s invested in the long-term success of our industry.

Built on partnerships, not transactions

We started out as event managers ourselves, producing everything from grassroots community events to large-scale national festivals like Big Day Out. That journey taught us the pressure, precision, and passion it takes to deliver a successful event, no matter the size, scope, or audience.

Oztix was created with that in mind—purposefully designed by people who understand that every element of the event ecosystem needs to work seamlessly together, from ticketing to entry management.

Our team handles your ticketing with care and expertise, so you can focus on creating the unforgettable experience your audience deserves.

Specialist teams powering venues and event organisers

Behind our leadership are dedicated teams in innovation, operations, marketing, events, content and commercial, and finance — all working to deliver on our partnership promise.

Our values

We don't just talk about our values—we live them in every event setup, every support call, every challenge we solve together. These five principles shape how we partner with you, especially when things get complicated.

Proactive touch

See it coming, solve it early, set the standard

We anticipate issues before they become problems and spot opportunities before you need to ask. Whether it's optimising your on-sale flow to maximise conversions or finding smarter approaches to your marketing campaigns, we're already on it.

Positive energy

Lift spirits, spark connections, inspire growth

We love what we do and the industry we're in. That positivity flows through to your team and your customers. When you're dealing with the pressure of event delivery, you need partners who bring solutions and momentum, not problems and delays.

Integrity & ownership

Own decisions, act authentically, build trust

We do what we say we'll do. If something hasn't worked as well as hoped, we own it and get it right. You're trusting us with your revenue and your reputation — that demands transparency and accountability.

Empowered to achieve

Trust yourself, support each other. Succeed together

Our people are empowered to make decisions and drive results without waiting for approval chains. When you call with an urgent issue, you're talking to someone who can actually solve it.

Innovate for growth

Challenge norms, create solutions, drive progress

We grow by challenging the status quo and finding better ways to serve you. Through data-driven insights and collaborative problem-solving, we create solutions that move both businesses forward.
