Dallas's own locally-run ticketing company, Prekindle, is movin' on up to the Deep Ellum side. The four-year-old company has officially opened their new headquarters at 2528 Elm St., in arts-and-venue-packed Deep Ellum.

Since Prekindle's founding by co-owners and former band mates Dave Howard and Pete Swulius, the company has started working with a ton of local venues and even the Dallas International Film Festival. A number of Prekindle's clients are also based in Deep Ellum, like Trees, Three Links, Doublewide and The Boiler Room.

"If you talk about live music in Dallas Deep Ellum has to be in that paragraph," Howard says in a YouTube promotional video called "Meet Prekindle."

"We're a Dallas company and we really take pride in serving this market and the Texas market and we know we do it with more attention and more flair than anyone else in the state."
