About TMON

Ticket Monster has grown very rapidly since its founding. In just over a year, its revenue has reached 24 million US dollars and it has more than 600 employees. The website uses a little monster as its mascot, which can be seen everywhere in major media advertisements. The little monster that changes with different products is a major feature of the website.

After being acquired by LivingSocial, the second largest group buying website in the United States, in 2011, TMON was acquired by Groupon, the American group buying giant, for approximately $360 million two years later. In 2016, TMON announced that it would start operating independently from Groupon.
