Buckt is the UK's only mystery ticket subscription service. Every month subscribers receive 5 mystery tickets to top attractions and activities in their region. From axe throwing to alpaca walking, rage rooms to restaurants, subscribers receive actual tickets (not discount nor recommendations), and they can complete all of them at no extra cost.
The business currently has around 8000 subscribers and over 1000 partners. It operates in Birmingham, London, Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol, Cardiff, Worcestershire, Leeds, Bradford and Sheffield. The business was created by University of Birmingham alumnus Daniel Bridgewater.
After recently securing investment, the business is on an exciting growth trajectory. Over the next 3 months, the business will be developing a new app, increasing its marketing activity, and dramatically increasing their subscriber numbers. From this, the business plans to initiate an aggressive period of growth with the aim of taking the business across the country, before moving internationally.
