TEX Tickets is an international ticket brokerage, partnering with primary and secondary marketplaces to provide fans with tickets to the live events they love. Initially conceptualized in a Miami University dorm room nearly 22 years ago, co-founders Mike Gau and Simon Landon eventually turned their ticket sales side hustle into a business in 2018. In the six years since, TEX Tickets has grown to become one of the largest ticket brokers in the US – doubling revenue annually and growing to a team of more than 80 around the globe.
