Problem
Essential workers such as healthcare staff, teachers, and charity employees often face financial barriers to attending cultural and entertainment events, limiting their access to leisure and wellbeing opportunities. Event organizers also struggle to fill spare capacity, missing out on potential secondary revenue from concessions and merchandise.

The platform verifies users' employment status through a simple sign-up process, then grants them access to browse and book available tickets. For event partners, the service fills empty seats with engaged audiences who are likely to spend on food, drinks, and merchandise, turning unused capacity into valuable revenue. The platform has already distributed tickets to over 1,200 event partners and saved members more than £28 million.
