Events & Ticketing · since 2021

Ticketing, entry and fan engagement in one platform.

Sell tickets, deliver them to a branded app wallet, scan guests in at the gate and understand your audience afterwards. Take the full solution or just the pieces your event needs.

Ticket types

  • Reserved seating with seating charts for stadiums, theatres and cinemas
  • Partner & sponsor allocations with their own dashboard, audit and reconciliation
  • Transfers to friends and family in the app, or by your admins

Sales channels

  • Web widget with seat selection and online payment, in your branding
  • Event app, which starts the guest’s journey at the point of purchase
  • Promo codes and card BIN recognition for discounts and offers

Entry control

  • QR scanning plus manual check-in at every gate

  • Live attendance showing busy periods, re-entry and ticket vs entry reconciliation

One admin portal controls what attendees see and when.

People who’ve run the gates, alongside your team.

DET setup in Dubai

Contract allocations, partner logins, workshops and one-to-one training for sponsors.

Onsite operations

Scanning supervisors, ticket and app support hubs, VIP welcome and hospitality desks.

Post-event insights

Case study

Emirates Dubai Sevens

The challenge

Manual processes and PDF tickets left organisers with little insight into who attended, what they spent or how they engaged.

What we built

Launched for the 2021 event: an app with ticket wallet, transfers and app credit, plus GA, reserved and partner ticketing with QR entry at every gate. A shop and “My Teams” followed in 2022.

The outcome

A fully digital guest journey, with a post-event insights report on demographics, outlet spend and app usage.
