Tixr, a ticketing and live event commerce marketplace, is set to open its new London office at London Bridge. The move marks the company’s first steps into continental Europe with Stephanie Rosa serving as managing director of the region.
The London office follows the expansion of Tixr’s operations into Canada and recent partnerships with Space Ibiza, Eden Nightclub in Ibiza, and British digital radio station Kisstory. They also work with festivals and entities including F.A.T. International, RuPaul’s Dragcon, Dreamhack, Uptown Festival, Dublin ComicCon, Leicestershire County Cricket Club, Egg London, E1 Series, Brockwell Live, Aramco Team Series and London’s Signature Brew.
“The word is out about Tixr, I couldn’t be more excited to lead our UK operations and European expansion from our new London office,” said Rosa. “There’s no modern platform more capable of servicing such a wide array of complex events, and the opportunities in the region are immense. The fantastic regional team we’ve built is honoured to partner with iconic sell-out festivals like Forbidden Forest that value design, innovation, and share in our mission to deliver the best fan experience possible, starting with the ticket.”
Before relocating to London for her newly created role, Rosa served as Tixr’s director of partnerships and sales operations. She came to Tixr from UK-based Festicket, which was acquired by Lyte in 2022, where she served as vice president of sales in North America.
