What Ticketstream does

Ticketstream is a Czech online ticketing platform that distributes tickets for sports, cultural, and festival events. Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Prague, it operates under PLG Czech Republic, s.r.o. alongside the GoOut and Ticketportal brands after a spring 2025 merger. The platform enables end consumers to purchase tickets online through ticketstream.cz and offline through a nationwide network of physical ticket shops, while event organizer partners access a dedicated partner portal for event setup, pricing, distribution, and reporting.

The underlying technology combines an online ticketing engine with interactive real-time seat selection and reservation, integrated point-of-sale distribution, and interoperation with the GoOut network for invoice-based purchases by professional users. The organizer-facing product suite (hosted at poradatel.ticketportal.cz) is modular and includes online pre-sale, technology integration, on-site ticket sales, organizer vouchers, billing and reporting, customer support, cashless payments, custom application development, CRM, SSO, an integrated payment ecosystem, and an admission/control system. Marketing and media services — supported by 1.7 million newsletter subscribers, 250,000 social media followers, and long-term Kantar research data — round out the offering as add-on monetization for event organizers.

Ticketstream generates revenue primarily through transaction-based fees on ticket sales across both online and offline channels, supplemented by tailor-made marketing services sold to event organizers. The company serves a diverse organizer base spanning small regional cultural institutions to large festivals, sports events, and concerts of world-star artists, with over 1,000 organizer partners and 70,000 listed events cited at the PLG group level. Distribution combines a self-service consumer website, a physical ticket shop agent network, a field-sales/enterprise partner channel, and reseller integration via GoOut.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• BookMyShow: India's largest ticketing and entertainment platform, providing online ticketing for movies, sports, and live events plus venue management. Comparable as a comprehensive online + offline ticketing platform with broad event verticals, though operating in a different geography.
• Eventim: Europe's largest ticketing operator, offering primary ticketing, live entertainment promotion, and venue services across 20+ countries. Directly comparable as a multi-country ticketing platform with both online and physical distribution, but operates at materially larger scale and is the dominant incumbent PLG competes against in CEE.
• Ticketmaster: Global leader in live event ticketing, providing online ticketing, resale, and venue solutions. Comparable as a primary ticketing platform serving concert, sport, and cultural events; much larger scale and global brand, but with growing CEE presence that competes with Ticketstream for organizer contracts.
• Eventbrite: Global self-service ticketing and event management platform serving event organizers of all sizes. Comparable as a primary ticketing SaaS with organizer-facing tools, though its self-service SMB focus contrasts with PLG's higher-touch organizer service model.

Emerging players

• Dice: Mobile-first ticketing and event discovery platform focused on live music and club events across major global cities. Comparable as a consumer-facing ticketing app with discovery features, but narrower in event scope than Ticketstream's cultural and sports breadth.
• Resident Advisor: Global ticketing and discovery platform focused on electronic music events. Comparable as an online ticketing and event discovery platform targeting a specific event vertical, but with a niche specialization rather than a broad cultural/sports offering.
• Tixel: European ticketing platform with a focus on safe, fan-to-fan ticket exchange and primary ticketing for events. Comparable as a digital-first ticketing operator in the European market, though more focused on resale integrity than PLG's broad organizer services suite.

Direct peers

• See Tickets: European ticketing platform serving concerts, festivals, theatre, and sports events with both online and physical distribution. Comparable as a regional European primary ticketing operator with similar product breadth (online sales, POS network, organizer tools).
• Ticketportal: Czech and Central European ticketing platform focused on event organizer services, now part of PLG Czech Republic. Directly comparable as a B2B ticketing platform serving cultural and sports organizers with online pre-sale, POS, and marketing modules.
• GoOut: Czech and CEE-focused cultural events ticketing and discovery platform, now part of PLG Czech Republic alongside Ticketstream. Closely comparable in product, market, and customer base, and the most direct internal peer following the 2025 PLG merger.
