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.
