Our History
The following brief history demonstrates our unwavering commitment and proven effectiveness in maximizing the ROI for our concert clients’ entertainment programs and event ticketing for presenters worldwide.
Yapsody was founded to service the growing Native American casino industry by providing access to national headline entertainment at reasonable prices.
Yapsody entered into a sales agency relationship with Sodak Gaming, the then-largest supplier of gaming devices to Native American casinos, to market talent buying services to Native American casinos.
In response to the 2008 economic recession, Yapsody invested in the development of two additional services to support the Native American gaming sector: Event Production and Event Ticketing. Both were developed in collaboration with our casino clients, tailored to their requirements, and offered at no extra charge. This approach encouraged casinos to retain their entertainment programs during the recession by delivering an effective approach to driving ROI through a combination of cost savings (e.g., eliminating ticketing expenses and lowering production costs) and incremental revenue generation (e.g., 100% retention of customer ticketing fees).
Yapsody released a new SaaS version of its ticketing system that allows any presenter around the world to create an account online and immediately begin selling tickets. General Admission ticketing was offered on a freemium basis.
Yapsody eliminated its freemium ticketing program and began monetizing General Admission while expanding its presence across the globe, including in key markets such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and the EU Region. This drove Yapsody to become a leading, trusted go-to company for outsourced concert promotion services and event management software with features specific to sectors with unique requirements such as gaming and hospitality.
