In this episode of the Inner Circle Podcast, I sit down with Ritesh Patel, the CEO and founder of Ticket Fairy, a next-generation ticketing platform helping promoters market and manage events.

What makes Ticket Fairy unique is its built-in word-of-mouth referral system, where fans can earn rebates—or even free tickets—by getting friends to buy.

Ritesh brings a wealth of experience to the platform. Having promoted over 400 shows worldwide, and with a background in cloud and systems administration, he had the vision to reimagine how event promotion and ticketing could work.

That vision attracted investors including the founders of YouTube, Twitch, and Reddit.

Alongside Ticket Fairy, Ritesh is also Director of LOCUS, a music series hosted in Tulum, Bali, Bristol, and Sydney, featuring some of the world’s most acclaimed DJs, producers, and live acts.

🎯 In this episode, we cover:

• How Ticket Fairy is changing festival promotion and gig marketing
• The challenge of the secondary ticket market
• Cultural differences in event promotion around the globe
• The future of event technology and ticketing platforms
• Ritesh’s journey from promoter to tech entrepreneur

This is a must-listen for promoters, event organizers, and artists who want to understand where ticketing and live events are headed.

📍 Recorded from Ritesh’s office in London.

A video version of the podcast is also available on YouTube.
