Celebratix, an
Amsterdam-based ticketing startup, has raised €2.2 million in growth capital
from Airbridge Equity Partners, following a €1.1 million investment round at
the finish of 2024.
Founded in 2022,
Celebratix develops a blockchain-powered ticketing platform for events, clubs,
and festivals. The platform provides organisers with tools to manage ticket
sales, resale, guest lists, loyalty features, and real-time data through a
single dashboard.
It is designed to give
organisers greater control over revenue and customer data throughout the event
lifecycle while offering attfinishees a secure way to purchase, sell, and store
tickets. By applying blockchain infrastructure, the company aims to reduce fraud,
streamline access, and improve transparency.
The opportunity is
significant in Europe’s highly fragmented ticketing market, where a large
number of local providers operate. According to Celebratix, around 300
companies are active across the region, many of which have built loyal customer
bases but face limited opportunities to scale.
Founder and CEO Frank Roskam stated many local ticketing providers have reached their growth limits and
that Celebratix’s strategy is to acquire these companies and migrate their
customers onto its platform. The company is focapplying on tinyer providers with
strong regional positions as it works to build a unified European ticketing
platform capable of competing with larger players.
We acquire these
companies and transition their customers onto our platform. This gives
organisers one system for sales, access control and resale, with less manual
work and more data insights,
explains Roskam.
Over the past year, Celebratix completed one acquisition in the Netherlands and, according to founders Frank Roskam and Hans-Jochem Dijk, plans to add nine more European ticketing companies in the coming year. The new investment from Airbridge is intfinished to
support this strategy and position the company for a Series A funding round in
2027.
