"We've been working with Event Genius for our ticketing since 2016 and lots of our restaurant partners have subsequently also turned to them for their own ticketing needs. Our festival consists of 100+ events and our needs aren't always straight forward but the self-serve platform and the great team at Event Genius make the process simple and straightforward for us every year."
