Atom Tickets Finds $60M More

Santa Monica-based movie ticketing service provider Atom Tickets announced this morning that it has raised over $60M in a new, Series C funding round, which was led by Fidelity Management & Research Company, and which also included Lionsgate, Disney, and Twentieth Century Fox Film. Atom Tickets said that it tripled its users and ticket sales the year following its rollout in 2016. Atom Tickets' movie ticketing service offers up a number of social features, group ticketing, advanced ticket purchasing, concessions ordering, and more. The company's co-founder and chairman is Matthew Bakal. The addition of Fidelity Investments is interesting, in that Fidelity typically invests in very late stage funding rounds--usually, in companies just before an IPO. More information »
