Shotgun is a live music ticketing platform and event marketplace founded in Paris in 2014. The company connects artists, tour managers, event organizers and communities through technology designed specifically for the live entertainment sector. It serves over 8 million registered users and works with more than 10,000 event organizers worldwide across Europe, the United States and Latin America.
The platform provides ticketing infrastructure, fan engagement tools and operational scaling capabilities for live events. Event organizers use Shotgun to sell tickets, develop and monetize fan communities, and manage the logistics of live gatherings. The company operates offices in Paris, Miami, São Paulo, Lisbon and Marseille, maintaining a deliberately human-sized team that combines technical expertise with deep knowledge of live music and nightlife industries.
Shotgun emerged from the underground electronic music scene and positions itself around the conviction that technology should serve live music rather than dominate it. The team emphasizes ownership, humility and a shared passion for music and events, reflected in regular workshops and collaborative experiences that shape how the company approaches its work.
