Ticketfly was started in 2008 in San Francisco, California, and was eventually bought out and merged into Eventbrite in 2018.
Andrew Dreskin, who was the CEO of Ticketfly, previously co-founded the company Ticketweb (which is now owned by Ticketmaster).
CEO Brian McAndrews explained that it would leverage Ticketfly and Pandora's "engaged" user base to "thrill music lovers and lift ticket sales for artists as the most effective marketplace for connecting music makers and fans.
"[5] On June 9, 2017, Pandora sold Ticketfly to its largest competitor, Eventbrite, for $200 million.
[6] On May 31, 2018, Ticketfly confirmed that its services were the subject of a major security breach that compromised "some client and customer information", and that the site had been taken offline as a precaution to investigate.
