Our story

Ticketing at the speed of Africa.

We started TicketIt because a great night out shouldn’t begin with a broken door list. Today we help thousands of organizers sell out — and millions of fans never miss a moment.

Why we exist

Live events are how a continent celebrates. We make them effortless.

Africa throws the best parties on earth — but the tech behind them was stuck in photocopied lists, cash at the gate and no-shows nobody could explain.

TicketIt puts a full box office in every organizer’s pocket: mobile-money checkout, fraud-proof entry, live analytics and payouts that actually arrive on time. For fans, it’s three taps from “I’m in” to a pass on their phone.

Check it, Tick it, Get it — that’s the whole promise.

What we stand for

The principles behind every release

Africa-first, world-ready

Built for M-Pesa, mobile money and patchy connections — then engineered to scale to any stage, anywhere.

Fast by default

Three taps to a ticket. Sub-second entry scans. We obsess over the seconds between wanting in and getting in.

Trust at the gate

Fraud-proof QR passes, transparent payouts and airtight settlements. Organizers and fans both sleep easy.

Organizers win, we win

We only make money when you sell. No subscriptions, no setup fees — our incentives are pointed the same way as yours.

The road so far

From one broken door list to a continent

2021

Started in Nairobi

Two friends, one sold-out gig with a broken door list, and a stubborn idea to fix ticketing for the continent.

2022

M-Pesa checkout

Native mobile-money payments turned casual browsers into buyers in seconds.

2023

Crossed borders

Expanded into Nigeria, Ghana and Rwanda — one payment rail at a time.

2024

1M tickets

From street festivals to stadium tours, a million people walked through a TicketIt gate.

2025

The organizer suite

Live analytics, reserved seating and instant payouts made TicketIt a full events business, not just a checkout.
