What Platinumlist.net does

Platinumlist.net is a Dubai-headquartered online event ticketing and entertainment discovery platform operating across the GCC and expanding into the UK, Europe, and North Africa. Founded in 2006 and operated under Cyprus-incorporated PLATINUMLIST PROCESSING LTD, the company runs a dual-sided marketplace that connects event organizers with consumers. The B2C platform at platinumlist.net and its mobile apps on iOS, Android, and Huawei AppGallery allow users to discover and purchase tickets for concerts, sports, attractions, theatre, comedy, and business events, supported by a Smart AI Search feature (in beta) for natural language event discovery. The B2B platform, Platinumlist for Organisers, provides AI-enhanced ticketing infrastructure including interactive seat mapping, real-time inventory management, white-label solutions, an Access Control scanning app, marketing automation tools, and event services such as permit assistance and staffing.

Platinumlist generates revenue across five streams: per-ticket transaction fees from organizers, AI-powered marketing services, professional event services (staffing, permits, venue selection, equipment), white-label licensing to venues and organizations, and marketplace commissions on consumer transactions. Pricing for organizers is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company operates a multi-channel distribution model combining a consumer marketplace, organizer platform, native mobile apps, white-label deployments, an affiliate program, regional phone support across KSA, Bahrain, Qatar, and Oman, and physical ticket outlets in five GCC countries.

The company reports 20M+ active users, 130M+ page views and 34M+ visitors in 2025, 7,400+ events listed, and 10M+ cumulative tickets sold, alongside a 4.5 Google Reviews rating.
