Independent and social ticketing  
platform **[Ticketfly](http://ticketfly.com/?ref=hypebot.com)** has been on quite a roll lately, undergoing some impressive  
growth and expansion thanks in large part to raising [$22 million in series C](https://www.hypebot.com/ticketfly-secures-22-million-in-investment-dollars-expands-to-new-markets/)  
[funding](https://www.hypebot.com/ticketfly-secures-22-million-in-investment-dollars-expands-to-new-markets/) back in July. After seeing a [400% growth](https://www.hypebot.com/ticketfly-sees-400-growth-in-los-angeles-live-music-market/) in their Los Angeles live  
music market last month, Ticketfly has expanded its presence as **the number one ticketing**  
**provider for live music venues** in its home base of **San Francisco**.

  
Some notable recent additions to the  
Ticketfly client roster include popular S.F. venues Public Works, Mezzanine and  
The Chapel, which each join other well known S.F. venues and events like The  
Independent, Bimbo’s 365 Club, the Noise Pop Festival and the Rickshaw Stop. Over  
the last 18 months, the company has tripled the number of venues it serves in  
the Bay Area.

Ticketfly’s emphasis on creating socially-enabled event discoveries and  
purchase experiences has proven to resonate well with San Francisco. The company  
found that fans in the Bay Area discovered and purchased five times more concert  
tickets via Facebook than fans in other parts of the country.

“Being a San Francisco company, we’re  
ecstatic to be part of the vibrant music and cultural scene here,” said Gannon  
Hall, Ticketfly’s CMO. “It’s great to see these hometown venues and promoters  
benefiting from our integrated platform”

Ticketfly also automatically  
distributes event listings to a proprietary affiliate network of 200+  
entertainment websites, resulting in potentially significant increases in  
incremental sales. For instance, affiliates are said to drive 15% of advance  
ticket sales for San Francisco’s The Independent and 10% for Brick & Mortar  
Music Hall and Oakland’s The New Parish.

The company provides venues and promoters  
a full suite of integrated ticketing and marketing tools including Facebook  
ticketing, automated social marketing, email marketing and real-time analytics,  
as well as an open API and complete mobile ticketing solution that includes mobile  
tickets for fans, an iOS scanning app and mobile-optimized event listings.
