wickerparkWe're located in the Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago and it's a great place for us to be.  Almost every tour comes through Chicago. We have a great variety of clubs, theaters, sheds, and stadiums.  Festivals are as numerous as potholes in the spring - we have Lollapalooza, Pitchfork, Crossroads, Chicago Blues Festival, Taste of Chicago, and Ravinia.  From Chess Records to Kanye West; from Ministry to Wilco - Chicago artists and institutions have had a large influence in the industry and we're honored to continue in that tradition.

 

 


 

history

Eventric began as Production Consultants Guild in 2000. With the release of Master Tour Database, the company pioneered the use of database-driven applications within the concert touring industry. The application's user base grew steadily as industry insiders spread the word. Master Tour Database quickly began to make tours run more professionally and simplify life for touring professionals.

 

Master Tour Database eventually acquired some of the industry's top grossing artists including the Dave Matthews Band, The Dead, Green Day, and The Black Eyed Peas as well as many smaller acts.  Over the years, performers of all sizes helped us develop the rich set of road-ready applications that are in our software today.

 

In 2008 Eventric developed and launched Live Access, a web-based application to facilitate the process of requesting, purchasing, and confirming of VIP and guest ticket access for live events. The online service was a huge success, gaining notable acts such as Jonas Brothers, The Eagles, Britney Spears as well as corporate customers like SAP for its Sapphire User Conference.

 

In 2009, PC Guild was renamed Eventric to reflect its broader approach of providing event-based applications for the entertainment industry. Eventric released a major rewritten monthly subscription-based version of MASTER TOUR on a completely new technical architecture in September of 2009.  Eventric continues to innovate and release new products and updates on a continuous basis.
