While studying at the University of Manchester, co-founder Steve Pearce wanted to create a single destination for event goers to discover events.[3] Pearce pitched the idea to family friend and future co-founder Sam Coley, a software developer.[4]

In 2015, TickX received backing from Ministry of Sound,[3] with Pearce and Coley earning nominations as one of Virgin's "Four young entrepreneurs to watch in 2016".[5] In the second half of 2017, TickX expanded to the Republic of Ireland and Spain.[1][6]

In July, 2017, TickX unveiled the world's first event Chatbot via Facebook Messenger.[7]
