Company historyLondon Theatre Direct was founded in 1999 by Francis Hellyer and Emmanuel Ciolfi.[6] Prior to his position at the company, Hellyer was involved in theatre and web technologies and Ciolfi had been working for both the ticketing and hospitality industries. As of 2018 the website had grown to over a million users. London Theatre Direct has been a member of The Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers, the UK self-regulatory body for the entertainment and ticketing industry since October 2001.[7][8] In 2016, the company invested in developing APIs that allows major venues and theatre groups to connect with its systems to sell tickets in real-time through its own website and partner sites.[9][10] London Theatre Direct saw a quarterly rise in sales from API partners and venues of more than 600 percent as a result of this investment. In 2017, London Theatre Direct became the first ticketing platform in the world to accept the cryptocurrency Bitcoin.[11][12] In August 2017 London Theatre Direct adopted TheatreMAD as their chosen charity to help raise funds for HIV and AIDS projects.[13][14] ServicesThe online platform of London Theatre Direct provides ticketing services for musicals, plays, dance performances, operas and comedy shows.[15][16] The event page has information about the production, show timings, specific venue details and customer reviews. The users can choose their preferred event and performance time, as well as their desired seats from an interactive seating plan.[17] PartnersIn 2016 London Theatre Direct acquired MDQ Tickets to create new sales opportunities in the West End market.[18] In addition to this, London Theatre Direct has teamed up with various major venues and theatre groups across London to maximise its product offering.[19] The company works with various ticketing partners, including Tickets.com to promote and sell tickets for all events available through London Theatre Direct via its API.[20] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.fastgrowth50.com/2006/london-theatre-direct|title=London Theatre Direct {{!}} Fast Growth 50|website=www.fastgrowth50.com|language=en|access-date=2018-02-12}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/attention-theatre-goers-london-theatre-tickets-can-now-purchased-bitcoin-1393968902/|title=Attention Theatre Goers – London Theatre Tickets Can Now be Purchased With Bitcoin — Bitcoin Magazine|last=Hofman|first=Adam|website=Bitcoin Magazine|access-date=2018-02-12}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=https://gigaom.com/2016/12/13/case-study-london-theatre-direct-tibco-mashery-and-the-power-of-the-api/|title=Case Study: London Theatre Direct, Tibco Mashery and the power of the API|website=www.gigaom.com.com|language=en|access-date=2018-02-12}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.thestage.co.uk/news/2014/ticket-agency-london-theatre-direct-use-bitcoins/|title=Ticket agency London Theatre Direct to use Bitcoins {{!}} News {{!}} The Stage|date=2014-02-27|work=The Stage|access-date=2018-02-12|language=en-US}} 5. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.gotceleb.com/claire-sweeney-mad-trust-charity-gala-in-association-with-london-theatre-direct-in-london-2017-08-05.html|title=Claire Sweeney -
