About

RocketRez is the world’s leading ticketing and guest experience solution for tours and attractions.

RocketRez started as the brainchild of John Pendergrast, who was struck by the outdated ticketing and point-of-sale options available for mid-market tours and attractions. As the industry's needs grow and technology sets a faster pace, tour and attraction operators face immense pressure to meet high expectations in the era of digital natives.

And that’s why we’re here.

Today, our complete ticketing and guest experience solution helps tours and attractions of every size and vertical maximize revenue, enhance guest experiences and simplify operations. The result? A fully integrated platform, unprecedented productivity, and faster, smarter decision-making.

Simply put: nothing else comes close.
