Wikipedia Draft:Outbox Technology

Outbox is a Canadian ticket sales company founded in 2005. Its offices are located in Montreal, Canada and London, UK. Every year, Outbox sells over $1 billion worth of tickets for its clients in the entertainment and sports industries, such as Cogeco Amphitheatre and CF Montreal.

History
In 2005, husband and wife Jean-Francoys Brousseau and Constance Raymond founded Outbox Technology. The Cirque du Soleil, a client, also became a shareholder. Mr. Brousseau already had experience in this field, having co-founded the Admission network in 1988. He sold this company to Ticketmaster in 2000.

In 2011, Outbox and AEG created a new entity, called AXS. AXS was a digital platform for purchasing tickets worldwide. At the time, Frederic D. Rosen, former Ticketmaster CEO, was the CEO of Outbox Enterprises LLC, based in Los Angeles. Outbox was built around the idea that event producers need a white label system to support them in selling tickets directly to customers. It allows all live entertainment venues to control their inventory, pricing, and consumer data without any third party involvement. , This move allowed Outbox to become a major player in the ticket sales industry, just behind Tickermaster.

In 2015, AXS merged with the paperless ticketing system Veritix. The combined entity then generated more than $2 billion in annual transactions. The deal allowed Outbox AXS to get more market shares in the sports world. During this time, Outbox counted Ceasars Palace Colosseum (in Las Vegas, U.S.) and the O2 Arena (in London) among its clients.

In 2019, Outbox sold its stake in AXS to its partner AEG.

In 2020, Outbox opened a new office in London.
