AXS Expands Tickets for Good Partnership to the UK, Enabling More Community Access to Live Events
Connecting directly to the Tickets for Good platform and its 620k verified global members, AXS-partnered UK venues, promoters, and artist management teams can seamlessly provide access to the joy of live events for TfG audiences, encompassing NHS workers, teachers, charity workers, volunteers, and people affected by the Cost of Living crisis, while also developing audiences, filling venues, and increasing social impact.
Now available in the UK following a U.S. rollout – with Germany set to launch later in 2026 – this integration enables tickets to be offered with full control retained by promoters over pricing, volumes, and eligibility windows.
Peter Quinlan, Managing Director, Europe, AXS, says: “Launching our collaboration with Tickets for Good in the UK allows our partners to turn unused inventory into meaningful experiences, and we’re proud to help create access for those who already give so much back to our communities. It’s a powerful example of how smart technology can drive both social impact and stronger, more inclusive audiences.”
Steve Rimmer, Founder and CEO of Tickets for Good, comments: “By combining our mission-driven platform with AXS’s reach and flexibility across iconic events, we’re turning great intentions into great experiences. With more of the UK entertainment industry coming on board, we’re building a seamless, tech-enabled pathway that connects thousands of Tickets for Good members with the live events they love.”
TfG has distributed over 1 million tickets across the UK, in partnership with leading ticket retailers, alongside more than 1k event organisers spanning music, theatre, and sport. The platform verifies eligible members and provides a trusted, closed-network environment for event partners to fill venues, grow audiences, and give back to communities.
Following strong growth in the UK and recent expansion into the United States and mainland Europe, Tickets for Good continues work with leading industry partners and investors committed to combining social impact with commercial success. Highlights from 2025 include:
