Amsterdam, 21 May – At TicketSwap, our mission has always been clear: to make ticketing safer, fairer, and more transparent for fans everywhere. We’re thrilled to announce our expansion into the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) with a powerful new partnership with Permanent Entertainment.
Permanent Entertainment is the organiser behind some of Germany’s most exciting festivals, including Ikarus Festival (with over 120,000 visitors) and WET Open Air (one of the country’s biggest one-day festivals). Together, we’re enabling fans to resell their tickets safely and securely, using our SecureSwap technology – a trusted system that protects buyers from fraud by issuing new, verified tickets for each resale.
To support this expansion, we’re also proud to welcome FACTORY 92 as our official PR agency for the DACH region, starting in May 2025. They’ll help shape and execute our communications and influencer strategies as we establish TicketSwap as the most reliable name in the secondary ticketing market – for fans and the live music industry alike.
The secondary ticketing market has long been plagued by inflated prices and scams. According to the European Commission, nearly 1 in 4 European ticket buyers has been affected by fraud. At TicketSwap, we’ve built a platform that tackles this head-on, ensuring that every transaction is secure, fair, and capped at a reasonable resale price (never more than 20% above face value).
We already collaborate with over 40,000 events worldwide, from SZIGET Festival to Bootshaus, and offer seamless integration with more than 80 ticketing systems globally.
