We understand the unique challenges of running tethered balloon operations because we've lived them. Tether Tickets was born from years of frustration with generic ticketing platforms that just didn't get it.
In 2021, our founder was managing a hot air balloon tethering operation at a county fair. After wrestling with spreadsheets, paper tickets, and constant capacity miscounts, they knew there had to be a better way.
The problem? Every ticketing platform was built for concerts, sporting events, or free flight balloon rides—none understood the unique challenges of tethered operations. Weight limits, rotation schedules, weather dependencies, and ground-based boarding logistics were afterthoughts at best.
So we built Tether Tickets: the first and only ticketing platform designed specifically for tethered hot air balloon operations. Today, we power hundreds of events across North America, helping operators sell more tickets, reduce chaos, and deliver better experiences.
Everything we do is guided by a simple principle: make tethered balloon operations smoother, safer, and more profitable.
Every feature is built with real balloon operators in mind. We prioritize practical functionality over flashy features that sound good but don't help on event day.
We're not just a software vendor—we're your partner in success. Your feedback directly shapes our roadmap, and we're always available when you need us.
When hundreds of customers are waiting in line, downtime isn't an option. We maintain 99.9% uptime and have 24/7 monitoring to ensure your events run smoothly.
The balloon industry evolves, and so do we. We regularly release new features and improvements based on operator feedback and industry trends.
Your success is our success. We measure our performance by how many successful events you run, not just how many licenses we sell.
Great software shouldn't require a tech degree. We design for simplicity so operators of all technical backgrounds can succeed.
Our impact on the tethered balloon industry speaks for itself.
