At planet.fans we’re on a mission to enable touring artists and events to better engage with their most active fans through a fair and trusted platform.

We capture real demand for live events, converting followers into lifelong fans through seamless connected experiences, creating a place where fans belong.

To start with we are building a new direct to fan ticketing platform from the ground up, intended only for real fans! This offers some unique engineering challenges.

This is just the beginning of our plans and we are on course to launch an MVP later this year that will start our journey to change the fan experience for the better.

We’ve secured funding to start building a small team of engineers to launch and expand the product.
