What BB Promotion does

BB Promotion, based in Mannheim, Germany, is described in the firmographics as an entertainment agency specializing in dance and concert productions, founded in 1987, with 11–50 employees. The aggregated operational data centers on ATG Tickets (ATG Ticketing & Sales GmbH), a German private limited company that operates the direct-to-consumer online ticketing platform atgtickets.de, covering musicals, shows, concerts, ballet, theater, comedy, classical music, and film-in-concert events. ATG Tickets maintains venue presence in six cities — Berlin, Hamburg, Köln, Düsseldorf, Bochum, and London — and holds rights for marquee touring productions including Starlight Express, Phantom of the Opera, Moulin Rouge, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, SIX, and Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame, among more than 20 active productions.

The underlying platform is a standard e-commerce ticketing stack with digital ticket delivery, a "Verified Tickets" guarantee, and a "Best Price Guarantee." Its distribution is anchored on its own atgtickets.de storefront and supported by a multi-channel marketing stack spanning Facebook, Instagram, YouTube (ATG Touring), an email newsletter, a dedicated WhatsApp channel, an ATG Magazine content hub, and an affiliate partner program. Ancillary product lines include gift vouchers denominated €10–€500 and the Freitags-Lotterie (Friday Lottery), which distributes access to high-value productions.

On the commercial side, the company has built a brand-partnership ecosystem spanning Deutsche Bahn as official mobility partner, Mein Schiff / TUI Cruises as a priority partner, and a set of consumer-brand partners (Coca-Cola, Warsteiner, Scavi & Ray, Vilsa, Nuii, Autolevy) for cross-promotional activity. Revenue mechanics are primarily transaction fees on ticket sales, supplemented by one-time gift voucher purchases. The customer base is individual consumers and families/groups, with three stated personas: live entertainment enthusiasts, families and groups, and a premium/connoisseur audience. No revenue, headcount, ownership, or funding figures are disclosed in the source material.
