Hide AdIt has also appointed TicketWeb founder Tim Chambers chief commercial officer, also bringing experience from roles at Ticketmaster and Live Nation.
After its latest funding round, believed to be in the region of £500,000, the start-up plans to grow the team further, with developer and marketing hires planned.
Chambers said: “Working with Ticketmaster Sport is the first big step for the business as it means we’re now partnered with one of the best organisations in the country to deliver incremental ticketing revenues.
“We are delivering high levels of new customer data points across our client base and expect to announce a raft of new wins before the year is out.”

Hide AdMake it Social chief executive and founder Eddie Robb added: “While our friends are only a few clicks away, the checkout flow is exactly as it was back in the day.
“One person still has to select how many spots to buy and then put it all on their card. Socialising checkouts is what we’re all about.”
