02 / BUSINESS MODEL

How does it charge?

one-time

Tickets bought one at a time per event; ticket prices not listed on the homepage

The above describes historical pricing. Check official website for current prices.

03 / ACQUISITION

Where do users come from?

Direct 45.9%, search 40.6%, referral 8.1%. Non-brand search about 24%, with terms being specific show names such as bon jovi murrayfield, radio 2 in the park stirling, biffy clyro edinburgh 2026; social has Facebook. New customers mostly find it by searching for event transport, and returning customers come back directly to book the next show.

Channel share, initial acquisition, and growth drivers are distinct; correlation does not imply proven causation.

04 / YOUR NEXT QUESTION

What remains to be verified?

The following are research questions, not established market opportunities.

  • What do target users actually pay for? Is there direct user feedback or paid interview evidence?
  • Are these historical prices still active today? What are the conversion, retention, and fulfillment costs?
  • Is the "SEO" channel still viable? What resources do indie devs need to test it?
  • Whose needs are competitors failing to meet? Find specific evidence before deciding on your angle.
