About us

Built in Detroit for local events

Open Gate Tickets LLC is based in Corktown, Detroit, and built by former employees of a large ticketing company. We started Open Gate to remove unnecessary costs and bring transparent, affordable ticketing to the organizers who power local communities.

In an industry often associated with hidden fees and price gouging, we focus on practical service, honest pricing, and dependable event-day support that protects affordability for attendees and strengthens support for local artists and hosts.

Let's talk

If you run events and want a more transparent, affordable ticketing partner, we'd love to talk.
