Insider Weekly has recognized Ticket Jungle with the prestigious Champion Choice Award for Business Excellence, celebrating the company’s transparent pricing model that has disrupted the traditional ticketing industry.
Founded in 2022, Ticket Jungle has quickly established itself as a standout in the competitive ticket resale market by eliminating the hidden fees that have long frustrated consumers. While many ticketing platforms advertise low initial prices only to add substantial service and convenience fees at checkout—often increasing final costs by 30-50%—Ticket Jungle operates on an “all-in” pricing model where the displayed price is the final price customers pay.
“At Ticket Jungle, we do things a little differently than other ticket retailers. First, our goal is to get you to your favorite shows, concerts, stadiums, venues, and more without any extra headaches and at a much more affordable price,” reads the company’s mission statement. “We’re not interested in making you jump through hoops, fill out endless forms, or spend twice what your ticket is worth on service fees.”
The company’s business model centers around four core promises: a valid ticket guarantee ensuring 100% authentic tickets, on-time delivery assurance, guaranteed adjacent seating for multiple ticket purchases, and full refunds for canceled events. These commitments have helped Ticket Jungle attract customers seeking a more transparent alternative to traditional ticket vendors.
Industry analysis suggests that hidden fees have become a significant pain point for consumers in the ticketing market. A growing number of customers report frustration with the bait-and-switch tactics employed by many ticketing websites, where the final price at checkout can be dramatically higher than the initially displayed price.
The Champion Choice Award recognizes businesses that demonstrate excellence in customer service, transparency, and innovative business practices. Insider Weekly’s selection committee highlighted Ticket Jungle’s commitment to transparent pricing as particularly noteworthy in an industry often criticized for opaque fee structures and pricing practices.
As consumers increasingly demand pricing transparency across all sectors, Ticket Jungle’s fee-free approach positions the company as an industry innovator addressing a widespread customer concern. The company offers tickets to concerts, sporting events, and shows nationwide, with a growing customer base attracted by their straightforward pricing model.
