Built in Public.
From a Single Conversation.
10pTickets didn't start with a boardroom, a business plan, or a funding round. It started with an idea, a conversation, and a question: what if prize competitions actually meant something to the people entering them?
The Problem We Kept Seeing
Prize competitions in the UK have a problem. You enter, you don't win, and the prize goes to someone three hundred miles away — for something you could have bought on Amazon. There's no connection. No community. No reason for it to feel local.
Meanwhile, local businesses are quietly struggling to reach new customers. They don't have advertising budgets. They don't have marketing teams. What they have is a great product, a loyal local base, and no platform designed for them.
The Idea
What if you connected those two things? Local businesses with real prizes to offer. Local people who actually want those prizes. A platform that moves through communities one area at a time — getting it right before moving on, not planting a flag and leaving people to figure it out.
Tickets at 10p each. Draws verified and broadcast live. Winners you might actually know. Businesses that get real exposure, real footfall, real customers — not just clicks.
“We're not trying to be the biggest prize platform in the UK. We're trying to be the most meaningful one — one community at a time.”
— Syhr, Founder, 10P Tickets Ltd
How We Grow
We move into one council area. We find local businesses willing to list real prizes. We run competitions, build community, create winners. Then the businesses push their own customers to the platform — because it works for them. The local winners tell their friends. Word of mouth does the rest.
When it's working properly, we move to the next area. Not before. We're starting in Maidstone. We're coming everywhere.
