Meet Evie the Otter, our AI assistant

You may have spotted a friendly otter in the corner of every TicketOtter page. That’s Evie, and she’s more than a mascot: she’s our AI assistant.

Stuck? Ask Evie

Evie knows how everything in TicketOtter works. Ask her anything, however it comes out: how refunds work, why a ticket isn’t showing, how to check people in at the door. She answers in plain English and, if you need a particular page, she takes you there and points at the button.

She can set up your event

Press New event and choose Let Evie make it for me. She asks you a few questions, one at a time: what it’s called, when and where, free or paid, and your tickets. Answer in your own words. She builds the event as you go, then shows you the page to check before anything goes live. Already selling somewhere else? Paste in your listing and she’ll fill it all in.

And if you’d rather talk to a person

Press Talk to a person and your chat comes straight to our team. We’ll email you back.

Where Evie came from

Evie was drawn by Jay, aged 14, and named after the youngest member of the TicketOtter family. Mark tells the story:

What is the family story behind it?

The family story is quite interesting. My partner and I started Comedy At Work, which is another company that puts on comedy productions, and we moved into TicketOtter out of necessity. So that’s the family from our side.

Then Alex joined us, because we needed a bit of technical know-how, and we love Big Al and what he does. And it gets even more family, because Evie, the otter you see on our website, is named after Alex’s daughter, and all the artwork of Evie is done by Anne’s daughter. So yes, we like to keep it in the family.

Why an otter?

Why an otter? I think you’ll have to ask Anne and Alex that one, but I like otters, and they like otters. It’s a UK company and it’s a UK animal. We love animals, we’re involved with it and we support the charity. So why not an otter?

About the author

Mark Hinds

Mark is the third of the TicketOtter trio, and comfortably the hardest to summarise. He's the only person you'll meet who can explain financial derivatives, name every street and building in London (plus the fastest route between them), and write, perform and teach comedy to just about anyone. That range is exactly what TicketOtter needed: someone who sees the numbers, knows the audience, and has the instincts to make fair ticketing feel like the obvious idea it always was.
