Etix, an international ticketing solutions provider to more than 2,000 clients in 40 countries, announced that it has acquired both Michigan-based Star Tickets and Arizona-based TicketForce. Combined with rapid organic growth, these targeted acquisitions further expand Etix’s footprint in the event ticketing space. These acquisitions are the latest in a series of companies acquired by the North Carolina ticketing company.

“We continue to be strategic in pursuing growth acquisitions, and both TicketForce and Star Tickets are great fits within the Etix family,” said Etix CEO and founder Travis Janovich. “We look forward to working with both the Star Tickets and TicketForce teams to ensure their clients receive the best technology and service in the industry,” adds Paxton Badham, Etix President.

“We’ve been impressed by Etix’s clients-first approach and elected to partner with them knowing that our clients will be in good hands,” said Star Tickets President Jack Krasula. “Their client services focus and manpower will be a great asset for our clients. We are truly excited.”

We look forward to working alongside the Etix team to continue to provide first-class service and technology to our clients.”
