What Tixplus does

Tixplus (株式会社チケットプラス / Ticketplus, Inc.) is a Tokyo-based digital entertainment platform company that provides electronic ticketing, official ticket resale, live streaming, and fan engagement services for the Japanese live entertainment market. The company was established on October 1, 2025 via corporate split from the original 株式会社Tixplus, which concurrently spun off its sports-related business into 株式会社VOLZ; Tixplus operates as a subsidiary of m-up holdings (株式会社エムアップホールディングス).

The core product is チケプラ (ChikePura), a mobile and web-based electronic ticketing system that issues digital tickets, supports face recognition-based ticketless entry (顔認証チケットレス入場), and is complemented by チケプラTrade — an official resale marketplace designed to combat unauthorized scalping — and the チケプラSDK, which allows third parties to embed Ticketplus ticketing into partner applications. Adjacent products include StreamPass (paid live streaming with dedicated streaming tickets), Meet Pass (1-on-1 fan–artist video meetings), くじプラ (online lottery / digital entertainment), and Fanplus, a fan club and fan site platform serving 400+ artists.

The business model is a hybrid B2C / B2B2C platform: Ticketplus earns from ticketing service fees, resale commissions, streaming and 1-on-1 meet-and-greet ticketing, and SDK/integration partnerships with promoters, venues, and content rights holders. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is entirely domestic Japan, delivered through self-serve mobile apps and web, with no disclosed geographic expansion or international operations. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the company does not have independent funding history beyond a 2019 internal capital event tied to the legacy Tixplus entity.

Direct peers

• e+ (eplus): One of Japan's largest primary ticketing platforms covering concerts, sports, and theater. Directly comparable to Tixplus's チケプラ on product scope and target market; e+ is also a historical investor in the Tixplus lineage.
• Pia (ぴあ): Major Japanese primary ticketing and live-entertainment promotion platform. Competes head-to-head with Tixplus for promoter relationships and consumer ticket purchases across concert and theater inventory.
• Lawson Ticket (HMV / Lawson Entertainment): Primary ticketing platform operated via Lawson convenience-store retail footprint. Comparable in target market (Japan live events) and core function (primary ticket issuance), with strong physical-retail distribution.
• Peatix: Event discovery and ticketing platform with strong presence in Japan and APAC for community/small-to-mid events. Comparable on ticketing-as-a-service and event-discovery overlap with Tixplus's チケプラ platform.

Broad incumbents

• Ticketmaster (Live Nation Entertainment): Global primary ticketing and live-entertainment incumbent. Comparable on core primary ticketing, official resale, and venue technology, though Ticketmaster operates at significantly larger scale and broader geographic footprint than Japan-domestic Tixplus.
• StubHub: Global secondary ticketing marketplace. Comparable to Tixplus's チケプラTrade on resale functionality, though Tixplus's official-resale positioning differentiates it from StubHub's open-market resale model.
• Eventbrite: Global self-serve event ticketing and management platform. Comparable to Tixplus on ticketing-as-a-service and event creation/management, though Eventbrite is positioned more toward SMB/community events than Japanese concert and theater inventory.

Emerging players

• SHOWROOM (DeNA): Japan-focused live streaming and creator-fan interaction platform. Comparable to Tixplus's StreamPass and Meet Pass on streaming-and-fan-engagement functionality within the Japanese market.
• niconico (Dwango / Kadokawa): Major Japanese live streaming and paid-event delivery platform with ticketed streaming features. Overlaps with StreamPass on streaming paid access for concerts, fan events, and creator content in Japan.

Others

• Cvent: Enterprise event management and attendee-engagement platform. Tangentially comparable to Tixplus's event-registration and live-streaming capabilities, though Cvent targets corporate/MICE events while Tixplus focuses on consumer live entertainment.
