Tiqets, an innovative ticketing platform that’s revolutionising the way visitors find, buy, and use tickets for museums and attractions, has raised $60 million (approx €54 million) in Series C funding round recently. The funding round was led by Airbnb with continued support from prior lead investors HPE Growth Capital and Investion.

With this funding, the Amsterdam-based ticketing platform is planning to invest in initiatives that accelerate its growth, build richer experiences for customers, and create better tools for its venue partners — all in line with its vision of making culture more accessible for all.

Connected millions of people so far!

For the uninitiated, Tiqets is one of the world’s largest and most trusted platforms for booking tickets for museums and attractions. To date, Tiqets has connected millions of people to thousands of venues in 60+ countries around the world.

Luuc Elzinga, Co-Founder, and CEO of Tiqets, said:

We founded Tiqets to bring more people more frequently into the greatest venues around the world. We are thrilled to have Airbnb’s support and look forward to delivering exceptional experiences to even more travelers.

Make culture more accessible!

Tiqets’ mission is to make culture more accessible by removing all friction to get more people more frequently into museums and attractions. This platform connects both hidden gems and top museums and attractions all over the world. 

No printing, No waiting!

It was founded by Christiaan Solcer, Luuc Elzinga, Maarten Raaijmakers, Marijn Speelman, and Robert Westers in 2014. With Tiqets, you can book in seconds and show the tickets on your smartphone. No printing, no waiting, no hassle

Employs 200+ people worldwide!

The company is headquartered in Amsterdam and now employs 200+ people worldwide, including in Amsterdam (HQ) as well as Seattle, Las Vegas, Orlando, Philadelphia, London, Copenhagen, Paris, Barcelona, Rome, Vienna, Bangkok, Tokyo, and Osaka. More information can be found on Tiqets.com.
