help Interticket FAQ
What happened to Interticket?
Interticket, founded in 1993 as an early online ticket vendor, was acquired by Ticketmaster in 2000 and folded into its operations. The brand no longer exists as an independent company.
Was Interticket really selling tickets online in the 1990s?
Yes — it was one of the pioneering online vendors of the era, starting with European rail passes before expanding into event tickets. This predated the era when most major ticketing moved online in the mid-to-late 1990s.
Why did Ticketmaster acquire Interticket?
The 2000 acquisition fit Ticketmaster's broader strategy of consolidating ticketing distribution and extending its reach internationally, particularly in the European market where Interticket's rail-pass business was rooted. Consolidation of early online competitors was a hallmark of Ticketmaster's growth through that period.
Does Interticket still exist today?
The original 1990s company does not operate under that name following the Ticketmaster acquisition. Unaffiliated businesses with similar names exist — for example a Hungarian theater ticketing service — but they have no connection to the company Ticketmaster bought in 2000.
