In this episode of the Sage Advice Podcast, “Business management as a key to success” , Joan Boluda has an interesting conversation with Andreu Rami, co-founder of Teatrebarcelona.com and Teatromadrid.com about how they have become one of the leading portals in our country for the sale of theatre tickets.
You will learn how the idea of an online business came about that covers the needs of its founders, currently being leaders in ticket sales, with a turnover forecast of €500,000 for 2024.
Teatrebarcelona.com and Teatromadrid.com are based on the idea of democratising the city's programme, giving the same importance to small alternative shows as to the larger, more commercial ones.
This company, created by a
costa rica email list group of friends in 2013, currently has 14 employees, eight in Madrid and six in Barcelona, apart from the four founders, and a network of expert collaborators who, after seeing the shows, generate the files for each one of them.
Andreu Rami, co-founder of Teatrebarcelona.com and Teatromadrid.com, explains how they started out as one of the leading portals for selling theatre tickets.
It all started when a group of friends who were theatre fans and already had a design and consultancy business, noticed that all the major cities had a website with theatre listings, except Barcelona . Furthermore, none of these websites offered a complete listing with all the information. For this reason, they decided to create a listing that would announce all the theatre plays in the city . Both large productions and the smallest amateur theatre.
They bought the domain, did the design and programming themselves and went to all the theaters to perform.
At first they just wanted the website to be known, but little by little they started to monetize through commissions on ticket sales . Nowadays they also create their own content that adds value to the website, such as articles, interviews, magazines or even podcasts . Their differential and innovative point compared to other websites is that they offer the entire program in full.

Is the project based on a hunch, a need or a mixture of both?
Andreu Rami says that this online business was born with a vocation for public service, since there was no website where the performing arts had a space to communicate their agenda in an exhaustive way. Neither in Barcelona nor in Madrid.
