About Glitnir Ticketing
Glitnir Ticketing provides feature-rich ticketing software, integrating 360-degree seat views, plus related services for athletic, performing arts, and multi-purpose venues throughout the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The company’s system is recognized by MLB Advanced Media as an official ticketing vendor for its minor league baseball system.
Glitnir Ticketing was founded 15 years ago as an internet-first ticketing solution for minor league baseball stadiums. It established a leadership position with its pioneering unified solution for both online and on-site ticketing. Rather than marketing its own brand, Glitnir white labels its service for its sports and entertainment customers, who integrate the service into their own websites and on-site ticketing operations.
In a competitive industry, the company continually seeks to distinguish itself by providing more robust, feature-rich services that offer fans better purchasing experiences while helping customers increase sales and profitability.
The company was an early adopter of technologies to allow fans to visualize what it looks like from any particular seat in a stadium or performing arts venue. As technology evolved, Glitnir wanted to remain on the leading edge.
