Platinium Group

What Platinium Group does

Platinium Group S.A.M. is a privately-held Monaco-headquartered company (founded 1985) that builds and operates an enterprise ticketing platform for major international sports and entertainment events, alongside consumer ticketing and luxury hospitality services. Its core product is an event-management technology stack comprising a box-office software module, a multi-currency/multi-language ticketing system, stadium CRM, and marketing/analytics tooling used by rights-holders and organisers globally; differentiated product features include a 3D Formula 1 e-shop and a 3D e-shop first deployed for the Mutua Madrid Open tennis tournament.

The group's commercial model is multi-stream and hybrid. At the B2B layer it licenses ticketing technology and provides on-site event logistics to event organisers and sports leagues; at the B2B2C layer it acts as official ticketing reseller embedded in rights-holder sites such as F1.com, motogp.com, and the Juventus website; and at the B2C layer it sells tickets, VIP hospitality and luxury travel packages directly to consumers through three wholly-owned sub-brands — Gootickets.com (consumer ticketing across 40+ events), GPexperiences (Formula 1 VIP and hospitality), and Monte Carlo Travel (luxury travel agency since 1985). Customer segments span international event organisers, sports clubs and leagues, large trade fairs, music festivals, sports fans, and high-net-worth luxury travellers.

The company operates from five offices (Monaco HQ, Paris, Milan, Barcelona, Shanghai) with a multinational team drawn from 40+ nationalities. Anchor rights holders include Formula One Management (exclusive ticketing operator), Dorna/MotoGP (premium ticketing), Juventus (official ticketing and stadium operations), and Real Sociedad, alongside large exhibition clients such as EICMA and the Paris-Le Bourget air show and venues supporting events with 300,000+ visitors. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; enterprise contracts are presumed to be bespoke based on event scale, with consumer and hospitality revenue generated on a transactional basis.
