About us

Why We Built Tricket

Tricket started with a simple observation: many cinemas in the Netherlands were using systems that didn’t fully meet the needs of modern operations. A friend who owns a cinema shared the daily challenges of managing ticketing, concessions, and reporting, and it became clear that there was an opportunity to build something better — software designed to support cinema teams, delight audiences, and make daily operations easier.

TricketSince 2021

From the very beginning, our mission has been simple: cinemas deserve software that works with them, not against them.

Our Philosophy

Software shouldn’t be a burden. It should:

  • Support cinema teams— from programmers and finance staff to box-office operators.
  • Delight audiences— with a smooth, intuitive ticket-buying experience.
  • Automate the boring stuff— so people can focus on films, not fighting with tools.
  • Look and feel modern— beautiful, intuitive, and built to achieve results.

Too many cinemas accept bad software as something they “just have to deal with.” We don’t. We believe good software is a right, not a luxury.

Who We Are

We’re a small, highly skilled team of engineers who’ve built large-scale, mission-critical systems at places like AWS, bol.com, and ING. With Tricket, we’ve brought that same level of engineering excellence to cinema management.

  • We started in 2021, with the goal of setting a new standard for cinema software.
  • Since 2023, we’ve achieved just 30 minutes of downtime in total — proof of our focus on reliability.
  • Every feature we build comes from listening to cinemas, not guessing.

We’re not the biggest player, but that’s our strength. We’re close to our customers, fast to respond, and deeply committed to making Tricket the best tool it can be.

Our Mission

At Tricket, our mission is to empower cinemas with software that:

  • Works beautifully
  • Scales reliably
  • Simplifies daily operations
  • Grows with the industry
