Passage: Funding, Investors & Team (Oct 2026)

Passage is a platform that powers customized ticketing, payments and technology, both online and at-the-door, for small-to-mid-sized events. Passage helps event organizers grow (2x+ over two years on average) by providing them with professional features customized to their event category and more opportunities to generate revenue: in-person access, virtual access, season passes, merchandise, concessions, subscriptions, digital collectibles, and more. In 2020, despite losing 99% of its business in March as the pandemic hit, Passage added virtual events and socially-distanced event technology (and accelerated digital lead gen), resulting in 84% YoY growth. In 2024, Passage will hit $3.1M in revenue on $46M in ticket sales, with a YoY jump in EBITDA of nearly $1M.

About FundedIQ's Passage Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Passage is left off this page rather than filled in.
