Horse Racing has a special place at Future Ticketing as that’s where it found it’s genesis. CEO and co-founder, Liam Holton, in a prior role as Marketing and Sales Director for Punchestown Racecourse in Ireland, wanted the perfect ticketing solution but he just couldn’t find it.

Racecourses work harder than other sports for revenue giving rise to many unique and complex ticketing requirements which change from meeting to meeting and course to course. Future Ticketing was designed to solve these problems and working with business partner Mark Cotter, Liam built a new type of racecourse ticketing system using state-of-the- art technology.

Our platform is not just a tool for selling tickets—it’s an enabler of innovation, growth, and long-term success. Our core differentiators lie in our flexibility, ownership model, and future-forward approach.
