Built by carnival people, for carnival people

We grew up on the midway. Now we build the technology that powers it. MagicTix is automated payment processing, online and onsite ticketing, ride inspections, access control, and event management -- serving 70+ clients, 2,500+ events annually, and processing $300M+ a year across 40+ states. Not software people who tried carnivals -- carnival people who built software.

"We're not in the event business -- we're in the problem-solving business. I logged 10,000+ hours on the midway before I graduated. Every feature we build comes from real problems I saw firsthand."

Our Story

A carnival kid who
saw a better way

Brian Meade didn't learn the carnival business from a textbook. He grew up in it -- logging more than 10,000 hours on the midway before he even graduated. He ran rides, sold tickets, handled cash, and lived the chaos of show day from the inside out.

He saw the inefficiencies firsthand: cash boxes that didn't balance, manual ticketing that slowed the gates, zero visibility into what was actually happening on the grounds. And he knew there had to be a better way.

Together with co-founder Zack Enright, Brian built MagicTix -- a complete event technology platform born from real operational experience, not Silicon Valley theory. Today, MagicTix powers 2,500+ events annually across 40+ states, serving 70+ clients including Butler Amusements, Talley Amusements, Amusements of America, and Helm and Sons -- with 100% client retention and 90% word-of-mouth growth. Along the way, they also acquired and integrated the CAT Program for show management and built out MagicMoney, MagicInspections, and Magic Maps -- an ecosystem purpose-built for carnivals, fairs, festivals, water parks, FECs, and campgrounds.

No monthly fees. No hidden costs. One upfront software investment, real-time transaction fees, and you own your system. Full deployment under $20K -- a fraction of what competitors charge.

Our Values

What we stand for

These are not corporate platitudes. They are the principles that drive every product decision, every client relationship, and every line of code.

Transparency

No hidden fees. No surprise charges. No monthly licensing. Every operator sees exactly what they pay and what they earn -- in real time, down to the penny.

Partnership

We are not vendors. We are your partners on the midway. We show up to your events, answer your calls on show day, and succeed only when you succeed.

Innovation

From self-service kiosks and ride inspections to AI-powered midway mapping, we continuously push the boundaries of what event technology can do -- because this industry deserves better tools.

Reliability

When the gates open, the system has to work. Period. Our offline-first architecture, rugged hardware, and 24/7 show-day support mean you never miss a transaction.

Industry Associations
