What's new

What TicketSquad can do now.

A practical changelog for coordinators, buyers, members, and squads deciding whether it is worth getting organised before the queue opens.

For people still deciding

The short version: TicketSquad continues to enhance its methodology for replacing checkout panic with calmer, more structured buying attempts.

Coming soon

The next round of useful improvements.

A short public preview of what we expect to work on next, written as outcomes for squads rather than internal delivery notes.

  1. Official launch in June 2026

    We are in early access right now, sharing TicketSquad with the friends and squads who arrived first while we put it through its paces. The official launch — when we open the doors more widely and start telling more of the world about the app — is planned for June 2026, ahead of the Glastonbury sale moment in the autumn.

    LaunchEarly access

  2. Squad Pro lands in July

    Squad Pro arrives shortly after launch for the regulars among us: community organisers, friends who go to a lot of things together, people coordinating the same crew across many gigs. Expect Squad Communities — one umbrella across many events, so members can find and join what is happening — alongside early access to new features as we ship them. Targeting July 2026.

    PlansCommunities

  3. Per-event email preferences

    You can already pause non-essential emails across your whole account, manage your linked sign-in methods, and delete your account yourself. Next we are adding per-event controls, so you can quieten a single event without affecting the others.

    PrivacyAccounts

  4. Better public guides for ticket-buying groups

    We want the public site to explain the buying-group approach more clearly, including practical event guides, odds framing, and share previews that make invite links feel polished.

    GuidesDiscovery

  5. Faster sale-day form filling

    The disabled autofill-profile button is a preview of a planned export that will let prepared buyers load member details into a browser autofill tool before sale day.

Every meaningful capability, in product language.

These notes are distilled from our delivery history and rewritten for humans who care what the app can do for their squad.

Adopter feedback pass

Adopter feedback pass: Reshaped by the first squads who tried it

The loudest feedback from our first adopters was about pricing. We listened, and the biggest change has followed: the people you bring along never pay, and joining squads is unlimited. This chapter collects the refinements that have come from real squads kicking the tyres.

  1. Adopter feedback pass28 May 2026 / Update 15

    Event guides can start your squad setup

    When a public TicketSquad guide is tied to a known event, its planning CTA can now take you straight into event setup with that event already selected. If you need to sign in first, we bring you back to the same setup path afterwards, so you can move from reading the guide to building the squad without searching for the event again.

  2. Adopter feedback pass21 May 2026 / Update 14

    TicketSquad is ready for live Crew upgrades

    The launch pieces are now in place for TicketSquad to move from early access into a real paid product. Squad stays free for members and casual organisers, Squad Crew unlocks the paid organiser tier, and the first hundred annual Crew subscribers get the early-supporter price while spaces remain. Existing early users are protected with Hype Squad status before the free-tier cap goes live, and the whole launch can be rolled back quickly with kill-switches if anything looks off.

    Know who’ll actually get your squad emails

    When you send a reminder or a data-freshness prompt to your squad, we now show you up front who hasn’t confirmed their email address yet — because unconfirmed addresses won’t receive it. You can nudge anyone to verify in a single click right from that screen, and the member roster quietly flags unverified squadmates so coordinators always know who to chase. Fewer people slip through the cracks before sale day.

  4. Adopter feedback pass21 May 2026 / Update 12

    Archive events you’re done with

    Finished with an event, or had one fall through? You can now archive it from the event’s settings. Archived events drop out of your active list to keep your dashboard tidy, and they stop sending sale-day reminders and notifications — but everything stays safe and readable, so you can look back anytime. Changed your mind? Unarchive it whenever you like and pick up right where you left off. If you’re coordinating someone else’s event and want to bow out, you can now step down to a regular member from that event’s settings too.

    Event ticket guides are starting to go public

    We added a public guide hub plus full Glastonbury, Coachella, Boomtown, Download, Tomorrowland, Roskilde, Reading, Isle of Wight, and Rock Werchter ticket guides, turning TicketSquad’s buying-group method into practical, searchable advice for squads preparing before they ever create an event.

    Your account, your call

    You’re now in charge of your own account settings. Pause non-essential emails when your inbox needs a breather — we’ll still send the things that matter, like sale-day links and outcome updates. Manage which sign-in methods are linked to your account and unlink the ones you don’t use (we always keep at least one, so you’re never locked out). And if you ever want to leave, you can permanently delete your account and personal data yourself — no need to email anyone. If you’re running an event with other members, we hand it over to a fellow member so the group can carry on.

    Warnings and delete buttons are easier to read

    We tuned the red used for warnings, errors, and delete actions so it stays comfortably legible in both light and dark mode. In dark mode especially, a few error messages had been hard to read — now they are crisp wherever you are double-checking something that matters.

    Sign in with Google

    You can now create an account or sign in with Google. Your Google name is offered as a friendly suggestion at sign-up, but the display name your squad sees is always yours to choose. If you already have a TicketSquad account, signing in with Google using the same email links the two together — one account, two ways in, no duplicates. You can also link Google to an existing account anytime from your account settings.

    Custom events can have pre-sales now

    If your event has an artist pre-sale, venue pre-sale, and general sale, you can add that schedule without turning setup into admin soup. Event pages now highlight the next sale still ahead of you, then switch to already-on-sale once the listed dates have passed. Custom event imagery is simpler too: one strong event artwork image, plus a lineup image if you have one.

    Hype Squad invites are live

    We added a way to grant Hype Squad membership — our earliest-adopter recognition — via shareable invite links. Hype Squad members get the badge, an ad-free experience, and every Pro feature, as our thank-you for showing up early.

    Mobile navigation is calmer

    On phones, the top bar now keeps to the TicketSquad brand and a single menu button. Page links, account actions, and theme controls live in that menu, while the landing page gets a clearer Jump to control for moving between sections.

    Member profiles now show each person’s TicketSquad membership and any badges they’ve earned — including the First Hundred badge for the earliest backers and the Hype Squad mark for friends-and-family supporters. Your membership travels with you across every event, and you can see your own tier on your account page too.

    Real people, real invites

    We added email verification so the people getting your squad’s invites are real — not typo’d addresses, not bots — without making signup any slower. New accounts get a one-click verify email; the rest of the app keeps working while you confirm. Coordinators see who hasn’t verified yet before sending out reminders or sale-day URLs, with a one-click nudge for any squadmate who needs a friendly chase.

    Free by default for everyone joining a squad

    The people you bring along should never have to think about pricing. Joining a squad and being part of someone else’s event is permanently free, with no per-seat fee and no cap on how many events you can be a member of. Paid plans are there for the power organisers among us — and one active event you organise yourself is always on the house.

    Stronger monitoring under the hood

    TicketSquad now sits behind a proper observability stack — production error tracking, alerts on the failure modes that matter, and an internal view of activity across the platform. Mostly invisible to your squad, which is the point: the kinds of failures that should never reach a coordinator or a buyer get caught and fixed first.

Early adopter polish: A sharper, more helpful TicketSquad

The current polish pass makes the product easier to understand at a glance, more personal to your event, and more comfortable to use across phones, tablets, and desktop.

    Cleaner event pages and richer sale-day data

    Event pages now keep the story of the event up top, give groups more breathing room, and make invite links, member data, and sale-day actions easier to find. Shared invite links also get proper invite preview cards. Coordinators can collect richer answers such as dates, weekdays, URLs, ranges, and yes/no fields; open an all-groups sale-day snapshot; and let people stay in the squad as helpers when they are not attending.

Foundations

Foundation: The groundwork for a trustworthy app

Before the visible workflows, the app needed account access, a secure data model, dashboard shell, testing, deployment, and a basic brand system.

    Brand theme and design tokens

    TicketSquad got its first real visual identity, setting the brand and tone for a product that should feel useful, honest, and made for real ticket sales.

Trust and reliability

The less glamorous work that keeps squads safe

Alongside feature stories, we shipped targeted hardening around privacy, security, production reliability, previews, mobile testing, and diagnostics.

    Smoother mobile layouts

    The public landing page now behaves more cleanly on iPhone-sized screens, dashboard event cards stay inside the viewport, and image crop actions remain reachable when editing photos.

    Privacy-friendly analytics

    Production analytics were added in a privacy-friendly way so we can learn which pages help people without turning the app into a surveillance machine.

    Stronger simulated journey testing

    Our end-to-end testing became faster and more diagnostic, with stronger simulated user journeys, transaction checks, smoke coverage, and failure traces. That means safer future releases for the product your squad depends on.

    We tuned and hardened database connection behaviour so the app stays more resilient under real-world traffic spikes.

    Bounded slow server reads

    Several slow-loading event views gained safer time bounds and graceful fallbacks. Visitors should see useful page content instead of waiting indefinitely on one slow section.

    Event cover uploads became more resilient, so large or repeated uploads are less likely to leave you stuck halfway through making an event look right.

    Safer redirect handling

    Login redirects were tightened so people are sent only where the app expects. It is a small security detail that matters for user trust.
