About Purple Cow Tickets
Canada's low-fee ticketing platform built for performers, by people who understand the challenges of live entertainment.
Our Mission
We believe performers should keep more of what they earn. That's why we built Purple Cow Tickets with the lowest platform fees in the industry.
Our fee: 1.85% — that's it. Performers receive 100% of their ticket price. Compare that to other platforms charging 3.7% or more.
Why "Purple Cow"?
In a field of ordinary brown cows, a purple cow stands out. We built this platform to help remarkable performers stand out and connect with their audiences.
Just like a purple cow is memorable and worth talking about, we want every show on our platform to be an experience worth sharing.
