Without question, **Los Angeles** is and  
always has been **a top market for live music**. Being a major entertainment and  
media hub for the entire world, major ticketing providers have historically  
dominated the market, but the folks over at [Ticketfly](http://ticketfly.com/?ref=hypebot.com) have been looking to  
change that. The San Francisco-based independent and social ticketing platform has  
announced **rapid client growth** and momentum in the region – seeing a 400%  
increase the company’s overall customer base in the past 18 months.

  
Ticketfly has entered into  
agreements with more than 30 new clients in Southern California, becoming the platform  
of choice for some of Los Angeles' premier live music venues and promoters  
including Echo/Echoplex and Spaceland Presents,  
FYF Presents, Hollywood Forever, Guerilla Union, Bootleg Theater and The Fold,  
The Satellite, Chain Reaction, and The Glass House.

“Given  
L.A’s vibrant live music scene and deep history in entertainment and media, we  
knew it was a market where we could make a big impact,” said Ticketfly’s CMO [Gannon](https://twitter.com/gannonh?ref=hypebot.com)  
[Hall](https://twitter.com/gannonh?ref=hypebot.com). “Once the local community got wind of what we could offer, we saw  
a domino effect of promoters looking for a more progressive provider.”

Ticketfly saw 65% client growth in  
the first half of 2012, and these L.A. venues (among others) are pointing to  
increased operational efficiencies, integrated social marketing and analytics  
tools, and increased ticket sales as reason enough to utilize the platform.

The  
company has also extended beyond music venues in the Los Angeles area,

including  
festivals and fairs like The Original Renaissance Pleasure Faire and FYF Fest, to  
arts and theater events like Village Voice Media (for LA Weekly’s 33rd Annual  
Theater Awards at Avalon Hollywood) and Cinespia Presents.

This comes as Ticketfly recently announced that [they’ve secured $22 million in series C investment](https://www.hypebot.com/ticketfly-secures-22-million-in-investment-dollars-expands-to-new-markets/), bringing their total  
investment to $37 million since their launch in 2008\. The money is said to be  
going to fuel Ticketfly’s new technology development and drive expansion in  
existing and new markets.
