ABOUT EVENT GENIUS & FESTICKET

Event Genius is a multi-award winning end-to-end UK based ticketing, access control and cashless POS platform servicing events of all types across the globe.

Festicket is the world's largest platform for discovering and booking festival trips. Founded in 2012 by Zack Sabban and Jonathan Younes, the company is backed by a range of investors including Beringea, Edge, Lepe Partners, ProFounders and InMotion Venture and in 2019 completed the acquisition of Event Genius, and the associated Ticket Arena consumer website and brand.

The new joint venture creates an end-to-end platform for organisers and fans alike, providing the most complete offering in the live entertainment industry. Through the egTicketing, egMarketing, egTravel, egAccess and egPay solutions, the platform brings together technology and expertise including POS and cashless payment services, ticketing, accommodation, travel & packages, marketing, data insights & analytics, access control, fan engagement tools and more to plug a gap in the market that no other organisation has addressed to date.

Together, the company works closely with over 4000 official festival and event partners including Coachella, Tomorrowland, BST Hyde Park, Ibiza Rocks, Motion Bristol, Amnesia Ibiza and Wales Rally GB, serving a growing community of over 5 million customers.
