Etymology
The word 'ticketing' derives from the noun 'ticket,' which comes from the Middle French word 'etiquette' meaning 'label.' The term evolved in the English language during the late 17th century, initially referring to a small piece of paper or token that indicated permission to enter a venue or partake in an event. Over the years, as public entertainment venues like theaters and concert halls grew in popularity, the process of issuing these pieces of paper became more organized, leading to the formalization of ticketing systems. The rise of technology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries revolutionized ticketing practices, transitioning from physical tickets to digital formats and online sales, making events more accessible and ticketing more efficient.
