Event organisers in Africa can now access an enhanced payments and marketing service through a new strategic partnership between Nigerian businesses Afritickets and Flutterwave.<\/p>\n
Digital payments giant Flutterwave and end-to-end ticketing platform Afritickets said their partnership can create more revenue opportunities for event organisers across the continent and improve the ticketing experience for event goers.<\/p>\n
Afritickets, which was founded in 2011, said the alliance will help it to positively impact Africa\u2019s event ticketing space with a platform that promises convenience, security, and the best exposure for event organisers.<\/p>\n
Princess Ilomechine, product manager at Afritickets, said: \u201cThe Covid-19 pandemic saw a lot of event platforms take a big hit, leading to a massive decline in events and ticketing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re excited about our new collaboration with Flutterwave which enables event organisers on our platform receive payments from eventgoers anywhere in the world. Event organisers also get additional exposure from Flutterwave events web page when they register their events on Afritickets.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe look forward to people experiencing the improved Afritickets event platform in a way they\u2019ve never seen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ife Orioke, chief commercial officer of Flutterwave, said: \u201cThe events and hospitality industry across Africa employs and sustains many young people. Our mission is always to create endless possibilities for everyone and this obviously includes event organisers and attendees.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur collaboration with Afritickets is one out of our many product-led efforts towards growing the sector. It\u2019s our way of providing more markets and revenue opportunities to event organisers. We\u2019re excited that high profile event organisers are already finding this partnership beneficial and we look forward to more platforms taking advantage of the infrastructure we\u2019ve built.\u201d<\/p>\n
