About Ethical Tickets
A values-driven alternative to traditional ticketing platforms.
Why we exist
It started during the isolation of the COVID lockdowns, when someone very close to our founder went through a serious mental health crisis. What followed was a long journey through the NHS mental health system — and it exposed just how threadbare support can be once someone actually needs it. Promised aftercare didn't materialise. The gaps weren't occasional; they were the norm.
That experience is the reason Ethical Tickets exists. Years earlier, our founder had already run a ticketing platform for independent festivals — but when a corporate giant offered more "reach," most clients switched, even though it never actually sold them more tickets. It was a hard lesson: bigger platforms aren't built to serve the people using them, they're built to serve shareholders.
So this time, we built something different — a ticketing platform structured to give back rather than cash out. Every fee funds mental health support instead of investor returns, because we believe the millions corporate ticketing companies make each year could change a huge number of lives if they went toward care instead of profit.
That belief is what's driving our biggest project yet — a nature-based recovery community called Cares Village.
Our Mission
All profits go toward building Cares Village — every ticket sold helps fund a real, nature-based home for people recovering from mental health conditions.
We're committed to building a ticketing platform that prioritises social impact over shareholder returns. By choosing Ethical Tickets, you're supporting mental health initiatives and creating positive change in our communities.
Our Core Values
Transparent Pricing
No hidden charges, just a fair deal for everyone. We believe in honest pricing that benefits all parties.
Social Impact
Revenue supports mental health causes rather than enriching shareholders. Your tickets make a real difference.
Ethical Operations
Fair fees and corporate accountability. We stand by our principles in everything we do.

Our Neurodiverse Team
Many members of our team identify as dyslexic, autistic, ADHD, or experience depression.
We view neurodiversity as a competitive advantage. Our unique perspectives drive creativity, fairness, and ethical decision-making. We believe that different thinking styles lead to better solutions and more compassionate approaches to business. By building an inclusive workplace, we create a team that truly understands the importance of mental health support and community wellbeing.
