We're proud to support the visionaries behind Chicago's music, sports, comedy, and cultural events that shape the city's distinctive character.
Chicago thrives on diversity in its entertainment scene. This is a city where century-old theaters, modern festivals, baseball stadiums, and comedy clubs all contribute to a dynamic landscape. It's this beautiful collision of high-brow and underground, vintage charm and cutting-edge energy that gives the Windy City its unmistakable personality.
As we welcome the historic Ramova Theatre to the Tixr family, we're proud to support the diverse organizations that make Chicago's entertainment landscape so vibrant—each bringing their unique vision to the city's rich cultural tapestry.
Ramova Theatre
Bridgeport's Ramova Theatre has reemerged as one of Chicago's most versatile entertainment destinations after an 82-year run and an intermission for renovations. The 1929 landmark now houses a 1,500+ capacity music venue, plus an intimate loft space, craft brewery, and grill—all under one meticulously preserved roof.
“We're very excited to partner with Tixr as they will amplify our continuous growth and evolution at Ramova Theatre. The Tixr platform and ethos embodies what we were looking for in a ticketing partner—dynamic, flexible, and capable of letting us dream big. Without a doubt, this partnership will help usher in a new age of live entertainment in Chicago.” – Tyler Nevius, Founder of Ramova Theatre.
With a team of experienced local industry all-stars, Ramova brings an eclectic lineup to life through Tixr, ranging from high-energy concerts by Dillon Francis and LETTUCE + GZA to cultural gatherings like blues sessions. The venue is set to leverage reserved seating, fan-driven upgrades, and waitlist to enhance the guest experience.

Riot Fest
As one of the largest truly independent music festivals in the world, Riot Fest draws fans from all corners of the world while maintaining strong Chicago roots. Each year, Douglass Park transforms into a three-day celebration of punk, rock, and alternative culture. Beyond its stacked lineup, the festival leans into the unexpected—circus sideshows, carnival rides, a wedding chapel, and even its own exclusive beverage, Riot Pop, that “tastes like sh*t, but keeps you lit!”
Riot Fest brings its vision to life using our flexible tools—from branded event pages that reflect the festival’s gritty aesthetic to management tools that keep things smooth during high-demand onsales. Riot Fest engages its tight-knit community while driving extra sales by offering referral rewards that encourage fans to act as ambassadors within their networks.

Schaumburg Boomers
Based just outside of Chicago in the northwestern suburb of Schaumburg, Boomers baseball puts its own spin on traditional ballpark entertainment. The Frontier League team combines America's pastime with creative programming through theme nights like Marshmallow Fight Night and Star Wars Night, complementing games with family-friendly experiences.
To manage a complex ticketing operation, the Boomers sell season tickets, ticket packages, and individual game passes through Tixr, alongside non-gameday events like Ballpark Brew Fest. An interactive reserved seating map lets fans easily pick their seats while giving its organizers more control over inventory management and game-day logistics.
