Developed to simplify the ticketing process for events, the solution won the first prize of the NBA Africa’s Triple-Double accelerator program. 

Tix Africa is a digital solution developed by the Nigerian startup Festival Coins, enabling users to purchase event tickets online with just a few clicks. Founded in 2019 by Folayemi Agusto, the Lagos-based startup raised an undisclosed amount in 2021 to support its growth.

Commenting on the funding round, Agusto stated, “The new capital will enable us to scale quicker and to integrate the currently separate products and services we offer, including an app offering event attendees a marketplace where they can buy, trade and resell tickets securely.”

Tix Africa offers a mobile app available on both iOS and Android, with over a thousand downloads according to Play Store data. Users can create an account and access various events on the platform, ranging from sports and wellness to arts, culture, spirituality, religion, music, and performances.

Event promoters can showcase their events on Tix Africa, with the ability to track ticket sales from a dashboard. “You can create events that repeat more than once within a specific period. Then, within a single checkout, attendees will be able to select the preferred date they’d like to attend your event. This feature allows you to manage single ticket pages for multiple events and make the same tickets available across multiple dates, thus saving you time and effort,” explains the startup.
