What is .TICKETS?

The .TICKETS domain is a descriptive top-level domain (gTLD) that immediately communicates what a website offers. It is commonly used by entertainment companies, theatres, sports organisations, online booking systems, and travel services.

Because it is highly specific, it helps build instant user trust and understanding.

Who can register a .TICKETS domain?

Anyone can register a .TICKETS domain – there are no industry or location restrictions.

However, it is most often chosen by event organisers, ticketing platforms, transportation services, venues, and entertainment brands.

Why businesses choose .TICKETS

  • Clearly communicates purpose and service
  • Ideal for entertainment, events, and travel industries
  • Helps build user trust through immediate relevance
  • Strong branding for booking and reservation platforms

History and Background of the .TICKETS Domain

The .TICKETS domain extension was delegated in the mid-2010s as part of ICANN's new generic top-level domain program. Delegation refers to the point when a domain extension is officially added to the global domain name system and becomes technically active.

After delegation, the extension typically went through standard launch phases, including a sunrise period (which allows trademark holders to register names first) before becoming available to the general public. Today, .TICKETS is commonly used for ticket sales, events, and booking platforms.

Why you might not choose .TICKETS

While .TICKETS is descriptive and highly targeted, consider these factors:
  • Industry specificity: It is best suited only for ticketing and booking-related sites.
  • Longer extension: Its length may not appeal to brands seeking very short domain names.
  • Niche branding: If your services expand beyond ticketing, the domain may feel limiting.
  • Lower general recognition: Some users may be less familiar with newer descriptive domains.

Because of these factors, Website.com focuses on widely trusted extensions such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG that offer flexibility and strong brand recognition. .TICKETS domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
