The Newark Times is excited to announce the launch of events.thenewarktimes.com, a new, community-focused event ticketing platform designed specifically for local event producers in Greater Newark. This innovative platform offers a simple, low-cost solution for selling tickets and promoting events, allowing organizers to keep 100% of their ticket revenue with just a $2.00 per-ticket service fee.
In response to the challenges faced by local event organizers who often deal with excessive fees from larger platforms, events.thenewarktimes.com offers an affordable alternative that helps maximize earnings while providing built-in marketing support, and exposure to The Newark Times’ engaged local audience.
Tehsuan Glover, Founder & CEO of The Newark Times, shared the vision behind this new platform, “The Newark Times has always been committed to amplifying local voices and culture. This platform is a direct response to the challenges faced by local event organizers—offering a simple, affordable, and powerful tool to sell more tickets and grow their events.”
The Newark Times’s ticketing platform runs on technology architected by Angle Enterprise, a company founded to empower local news and information publishers around the country who do the hard work of connecting their communities to information, resources, and experiences. Founders Andaiye Taylor and Matt Ling first piloted a similar solution in Newark in 2018, when Glover and The Newark Times were among the earliest adopters—instrumental in proving this model could work.
When the pair decided to offer the technical foundation for tickets to selected news publishers at a greater scale, Glover was one of their very first calls given his deep reach and staying power as a trusted local information source in Newark, and his penchant for innovation on the local scene.
“Tehsuan Glover is the connectors’ connector, and we’re thrilled that The Newark Times is the very first publisher to go live with this platform from the crop of hand-selected independent newsrooms we’re working with across the country,” said Taylor.
Ling added: “Tehsuan is a master at connecting Newark residents and visitors alike with the best the city has to offer—often crafting those experiences himself—and we know that with his partnership, Newark will benefit, as will other partners of ours from across the country who can learn from the inventive ways he’ll leverage his new events platform as a growth engine not just for his publication, but for local organizers and the city of Newark at large.”
The platform requires no setup or monthly fees, allowing event producers to start selling tickets immediately, with the added benefit of leveraging The Newark Times’ vast local reach and promotional channels.
