Having someone who believes in you and your idea is crucial. One may have the best idea in the history of the mankind, but if there aren’t others who are ready to believe in it and support it, most likely it’ll result in a failure. We understand that being among the first to adopt a new technology can be risky and is quite scary, but in the end, it’s all worth it.

That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that even before the official announcement of Tixico, there already were seven companies that understood how broken the ticketing market is at the moment and believed in our vision on how to fix these problems. These companies will be among the first to use Tixico once it’s released in 2019, thus guaranteeing that there will be more than 100 000 tickets sold safely and fairly in the first 12 months after the initial launch of the platform.

Our current partners are organizing events of various sizes, even for tens of thousands of attendees, in sports, entertainment and music industries. We are extremely proud to call each and every one of them our partners and hope that you’ll be just as excited in hearing about them as we are!
