Line-Up at #TPC2026


We’re attending the 10th Anniversary edition of the Ticketing Professionals Conference, and are proud to once again be Gold Sponsors. This event brings the sector together like no other. It's a place to exchange ideas, catch up with your network, get inspired and celebrate the creativity and innovation that drive this brilliant industry forward. We can't wait to see you in Manchester.


Matthew Breen, Emily Childs, Barnaby Clark, Chris Crossley and James Stilwell will all be there on the day - so if we've not yet met, please come and say hello. You can find us at Stand 1 in the Exhibition Hall, but we're also presenting a number of sessions and panels across the two days. We have also brought along a very special guest this year - BBC News Cyber Correspondent, Joe Tidy. See below for more information on his session.

If we've not met before, Line-Up is a modern, scalable, and flexible SaaS Ticketing Platform. Our technology helps organisations manage sales and ticketing operations with ease - increasing conversion, revenue and operational efficiency. Pop by our stand if you want to find out more.

Ask the Expert - Cyber Security and Ticketing

Wednesday 25th - 9:15am

We’ve excited to bring BBC News Cyber Correspondent Joe Tidy to TPC for a session you can't afford to miss.

In conversation with our CEO Barnaby, Joe will draw on his reporting of major ransomware and phishing attacks - what happens when defences fail, and how organisations respond under pressure.

Anyone selling tickets holds vast amounts of personal and financial data, even the most established operators can be caught off guard. This session sets the scene for a practical follow-on with Barnaby, translating frontline lessons into the realities of ticketing operations.

The Ticket is Dead, Long Live the 'Ticket' – Ticketing in 2036

Wednesday 25th - 11:40am

As the Ticketing Professionals Conference celebrates its tenth birthday, our COO, Chris has assembled a panel to ask a simple question: if we jumped forward to 2036, what might ticketing look?

To find out, the panel will start by rewinding to 2016, looking at what the industry predicted before they launch in to potential futures for 2036.
