Southern California (SoCal) is one of the most vibrant live-event regions in the world. But until recently, its ticketing professionals did not have a consistent, local way to meet, collaborate and learn together. Today, the Southern California Ticketing Organization — better known as SoCal Tix — is working to change that.
Led by volunteer organizer Garrett Nolan, SoCal Tix is steadily building its community across a vast geographic footprint, uniting ticket office professionals from Los Angeles to San Diego and throughout Orange County (OC). The group is informal, free to join and entirely powered by the passion of those who participate.
"Our goal is to have about three to four networking events a year, either in person or virtual," Nolan says. "We surveyed members around the beginning of this year … My own personal bias was that the in-person events were more popular, but feedback showed it was a 50-50 split."
Nolan continues, "The format is dictated by the presenter or where the event is going to be held."
