Our Story

Caribbean rooted. Global by design.

Shaped across Colombia and the Caribbean, Sun Tixx grew from an event-technology idea into a broader commerce platform for the people and organisations creating experiences, culture and products.

Where we started

World-class technology for markets too often underserved.

Sun Tixx began with a practical belief: organisers and experience businesses across the Global South should be able to access world-class event technology at an affordable operating cost.

Colombia and the Caribbean became the first validation markets. The Colombian platform launched in November 2011 as Taquilla Facil powered by Sun Tixx Colombia, with meaningful client adoption building from 2012 across tourism and events. The main Sun Tixx platform launched in the Caribbean in 2013, focused on concerts, parties, festivals, sport and other live experiences.

Those markets taught us to design around real customer behaviour: digital convenience, physical distribution, destination activity, live-event urgency and the realities of doing commerce where access and infrastructure are uneven.

Our mission now

Power the commerce behind the creative and experience economy.

Sun Tixx remains rooted in the Caribbean, with branches into Latin America and an outlook toward serving more of the Global South — particularly across Latin America and Africa — while remaining open to global opportunities.

Our current focus connects the commercial layers around events, sport, tourism, physical and digital products, virtual access, marketplace commerce, merchant tools, production and the digital infrastructure that ties them together.

The mission is not simply to sell more tickets. It is to help creators, organisers and experience businesses move from discovery to transaction, fulfilment and repeat customer relationships through infrastructure built for the markets we know.

The founding story

One idea. Three founding roles. Two starting markets.

Sun Tixx combined event-industry insight, technical execution and a commercial launch pathway in Latin America before scaling the model through the Caribbean.

The recognition captured a model already combining proprietary technology, online ticketing, physical distribution and regional operating experience.

More from our history

From electronic ticketing to creative and experience commerce.

The story is a progression from solving access, to solving distribution, to connecting more of the commercial journey around the people and organisations creating experiences and products.

That is why the current platform can support live events, sport, tourism, creative products, merchant commerce, virtual access and physical production without losing the ticketing expertise that started it.

The operating thesis

Culture, sport, tourism and creativity already move people. We build the commerce around them.

That can mean a ticket, a product, a destination experience, a gated virtual stream, a printed wristband, an invoice, a vendor storefront or a branded platform — depending on what the customer is trying to buy.
