    The problem

    Five systems. No one view.

    The same fan buys a ticket in one system, renews a season ticket in another, books a box on a spreadsheet and sponsors a match on an invoice. Nobody can see the whole person, so nobody knows who to call.

    Ask your data

    Type a question in plain English. Get the answer, and the list of people behind it.

    Two ways in

    Start with what you have. Or replace the lot.

    Option 1

    Connect what you have

    Keep your ticketing platform. We connect it and run everything around it.

    • Hospitality, diary, match day sheets and invoices
    • Dashboards across tickets, season tickets and partners
    • Campaigns to the right fans, from one list
    • Ask your data in plain English

    The full picture Option 2

    One system for everything

    Everything in Option 1, plus your own ticketing. One platform, one record per fan, and the booking fees stay with the club.

    Everything in Option 1, plus:

    • Tickets on your own website, not someone else's
    • Season tickets and memberships sold and renewed by Direct Debit
    • Tickets in your own app and in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, with a code that refreshes
    • Entry through your existing turnstiles
    • A ticket exchange, so empty seats get filled
    • Booking fees kept by the club

    Switched over at a season break

    Built for clubs and venues of your size. We build your ticketing with you; it is not an off-the-shelf box office.

    How it starts

    Four steps. Nothing big-bang.

    1. Connect and see

      We connect your current systems and show it all in one place.

      Weeks
    2. Hospitality and match day

      Diary, sheets, invoices and the booking widget.

    3. Season tickets and renewals

      Renewal risk, upgrade lists and Direct Debit.

    4. Ticketing and the app

      Your own ticketing and app, switched over at a season break.

    Questions

    What do clubs ask first?

    Who is this for?+

    Clubs and venues below the very top tier: football clubs, rugby clubs, county cricket clubs and racecourses. Places where tickets, season tickets, hospitality and sponsorship are run by a small team across separate systems and spreadsheets.

    Do we have to replace our ticketing system?+

    No. You can keep it. We connect your current ticketing and run hospitality, invoices, dashboards and campaigns alongside it. That can be live in weeks. If you want one system for everything, we can build your ticketing too and switch it over at a season break.

    What does our own ticketing include?+

    Sales on your own website, season tickets and memberships sold and renewed by Direct Debit, tickets in your own app and in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet with a code that refreshes, entry through your existing turnstiles, a ticket exchange, and booking fees that stay with the club. It is built for clubs and venues of your size.

    How long does it take?+

    Connecting what you have and seeing it in one place takes weeks. Hospitality and match day come next, then season tickets and renewals. If we are building your ticketing, we switch it over at a season break so nothing changes for fans mid-season.

    Is our fans' data safe?+

    Yes. Your data is never sold or shared, and never used to train AI, by us or by the AI services we use. It stays in your own private workspace and you can export all of it whenever you want.

    Can we try it before we talk?+

    Yes. The live demo runs on a made-up club, Kingsford, with example figures. Switch between football, rugby, cricket and racing, and click into any area.

    Where are you based?+

    Pixel and Shovel is a small team in Brighton. We work with clubs and venues across the UK, in person and remotely.
