Built by Insiders. For Insiders.

Flicket wasn't built by outsiders guessing at what events need. It was built by the people who've run them. Decades inside the industry, on the other side of the gate, watching the big platforms charge more and deliver less. So we built the one we always wanted.

Flicket started with a single frustration: event organisers were stuck with platforms that did one thing, charged a fortune for it, and treated the people running the events as an afterthought.
With over 50 years of family history running events across Australasia, co-founders Ben Calvert and Amelia Calvert teamed up with CTO James Barwell-Smith to build something the monopolies never would. A platform that hands control back to the people who actually make events happen.
We know the industry because we came from it. And we know exactly what the old guard has been getting away with.

The Fuel Behind Our Fire

Brand Principles

1

Burn the blockade

Big ticketing built a monopoly and called it the only way.

We're here to prove it isn't.

2

Let our partners perform

We don't take the spotlight.
We build the platform that puts our partners in it.

3

Sell-outs, not sign-ups

We're not in the business of tickets.

We're in the business of full houses, returning crowds, and commercial growth that compounds.

4

The experience outlives the event

The ticket gets a fan through the gate.
What they leave with is what brings them back

5

Move first. Move fast

The industry doesn't wait, so neither do we.

We adapt, we learn, and we stay a step ahead of the platforms standing still.
