The world has evolved into a more digital state with most activities and services being moved from physical to online.
The digitalisation of services has also moved to the ticketing space. Most events were moving from dishing out physical tickets to offering digital ones.
The online event ticketing market size was valued at USD 54.26 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow. From movies, sports and live music events, the trend of online ticketing has been growing exponentially.
The positives of avoiding long queues to buy tickets, ability to pay online and other benefits make online ticketing.
Right now, we’re taking a look at online ticketing in Africa, specifically in the Ghana tech ecosystem. Here are five ticketing platforms offering online ticket services in Ghana:
Egotickets
Egotickets is an online ticketing platfom that helps event organisers and promoters put up their events online. Users can view free or paid events and make purchases on the platform.
Tickets bought online are sent to the user’s email with a QR code which can be scanned for confirmation at the event.
The platform was formed in 2013 by Alfred Rowe.
