At EncoreCart, our mission is simple: to give the power back to the artists and venues. We believe that ticketing should be in the hands of the creators—not giant corporations. Our platform is built to empower you to own your audience, grow your revenue, and take full control over your event ticketing and marketing.
We’re here to disrupt the monopoly of centralized ticketing platforms by decentralizing the process. With
EncoreCart, artists and venues maintain 100% control over their ticket sales, audience data, and communication. Our long-term vision is to create a thriving, independent ecosystem where creators succeed without the interference of high fees, restrictions, and middlemen. We’re building a future where you can customize your experience, engage your fans, and truly own your success.
The idea for EncoreCart came to me while I was trying to build a custom ticketing system for my own events. Growing up in a family-owned western dinner theater with 800 seats, I was responsible for building and maintaining the theater’s website and ticketing solutions. It was here that I first saw the need for a system that worked seamlessly on the day of the show, integrated with my website, and allowed me to market directly to patrons—all without paying per ticket sold.
As I transitioned into performing as an artist, I became increasingly frustrated when performing at other venues. I wasn’t able to keep the names of my fans or engage with them before or after the event, losing out on opportunities to grow my audience. The bigger I got, the less control I had. I wasn’t alone in noticing the predatory and exclusionary contracts enforced by large ticketing firms.
With my background in music performance, corporate IT sales, and online marketing for small businesses, I saw an opportunity to create a solution that would empower both artists and venues. That’s how EncoreCart was born: out of a desire to give artists and venues the tools to control their ticketing, own their audience data, and grow their revenue—without the interference of middlemen or excessive fees.
My mission is to help artists and venues take back their power by decentralizing ticketing and creating a thriving network of independent creators who can collaborate freely and succeed on their own terms.
