Online tickets are gradually becoming the go-to option for important events. In Guinea, a startup has decided to democratize its use thanks to tech tools. 

Billetfacile is a digital solution developed by an eponymous Guinean startup founded in 2019. It allows event planners to safely create and sell tickets online solution.

Through its web and mobile apps -the mobile app is available for Android and iOS devices-, users can register their accounts and access the services available. For instance, they can create an event (free or paid) and let the Billetfacile and social media community know about it. 

The solution also enables NGOs and associations to organize various fundraising campaigns. Those campaigns are shown in users’ feeds giving them the choice to approve or decline support to specific campaigns in just one click. 

It also gives event planners the possibility to assess the community’s interest in their events thanks to the various stats it provides. With the stats in hand, event planners can turn to the startup’s social media channels to boost interest in their events. Then, they can create tickets on the platform and start distributing them. 

Billetfacile claims more than 275 event planners are already registered with 307 events and 21 fundraising campaigns organized and 476,184 tickets sold. In 2022, the startup was one of the finalists of the Guinean chapter of the Orange Social Venture Prize. It came third in the competition, winning a check of GFr20 million (US$2,285.7) and the opportunity to participate in the finance phase that will bring together participants from seventeen countries.
