What the job involves

Our take
Organising the ticketing for live and online events requires vast infrastructure, and therefore, many event companies use online ticketing platforms. However, these platforms often only offer basic ticket design options and come with unfair charges that greatly reduce revenue for the company.
vivenu provides a ticket sales management and marketing platform, focused on helping clients to customise the branding of tickets and their listings. The platform is designed to suit any scale of events company and uses a subscription pricing model to ensure that companies earn all of the revenue from the tickets they sell.
Whilst the company will face fierce competition from large ticketing platforms such as Ticketmaster, vivenu shows great potential to compete by identifying the need for a more customisable ticketing solution. Through its personalisation capabilities, scalability, and zero-fee ticket transactions, the company aims to help any event company optimise sales and grow without losing profits to marketplaces.
