Ticketac

What Ticketac does

Ticketac is a French online ticketing aggregator and reseller founded in 2004 and headquartered in Paris, operating as a self-serve e-commerce marketplace across 24+ French cities. The platform sells discounted tickets to theater, comedy, music, dance, cabaret, family entertainment, museums, zoos, aquariums, castles, and theme parks on behalf of partner venues, serving individual consumers (families, couples, friend groups, tourists) and corporate Works Councils (CE) and enterprises. Marquee partners include Disneyland Paris, Futuroscope, Parc Astérix, Nigloland, Théâtre Mogador, Crazy Horse Paris, Paradis Latin, La Seine Musicale, Théâtre du Palais Royal, and Aquarium de Paris. Headcount is 11–50 employees and the company is privately held with no disclosed funding or investor relationships.

The platform's technology stack is a conventional e-commerce ticketing system supporting e-ticket delivery with barcode scanning for direct venue entry, a voucher/contremarque exchange workflow retrieved via customer account, interactive seat selection on venue plans with color-coded availability, and a Carte Cadeau gift card product available in preset denominations (30/60/90/150 EUR) or custom amounts. Payment processing is integrated with Visa, Mastercard, Carte Bancaire, PayPal, and Apple Pay. The site structure is SEO-optimized with city-specific landing pages (e.g., /ville/paris, /ville/lyon) and category pages for theater, humor, music/dance, children, cabaret, and leisure. Marketing channels comprise an email newsletter subscription, organic search, and on-site promotional deals and 'derniere minute' last-minute sections.

The business model is transaction-based: Ticketac negotiates reduced/preferred rates with partner venues and resells tickets to consumers at those rates, capturing the spread as commission. Pricing varies by event — theater tickets from ~10 EUR, comedy/cabaret from ~10–30 EUR, theme parks from 39 EUR (Futuroscope) to 129 EUR+ (Disneyland Paris). Revenue is generated through B2C individual ticket sales plus a secondary B2B line through the Espace Entreprise/CE portal, which sells gift cards for corporate bonuses, team gifts, and client rewards. The company does not disclose revenue, funding, or financial metrics; it operates as an independent, self-funded private French SME.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Fever: Rapidly growing global experiences/immersive events marketplace with strong Paris presence. Overlaps Ticketac's consumer base, especially in cabaret, shows, and unique leisure experiences.

Others

• GetYourGuide: Global tours and attractions platform with significant Paris and theme park inventory. Overlaps with Ticketac's Loisirs and Parcs d'Attractions categories but skews to experiences rather than scheduled shows.
• CE/HR corporate gift platforms (e.g., Kadomos, Sodexo Benefits): Corporate gift card and employee benefit platforms used by French Works Councils/CE. Adjacent competitor to Ticketac's Espace Entreprise/CE program rather than direct ticket reseller.
• Tiqets: Online ticketing platform specializing in museums, attractions, and cultural sites. Comparable inventory to Ticketac's Loisirs category (museums, castles, aquariums) but distinct category focus.

Direct peers

• Eventim: Major European ticketing platform with French operations, offering multi-vertical event distribution and venue software solutions. Comparable breadth and primary-ticketing orientation.
• Fnac Spectacles: Largest French live entertainment ticketing platform owned by Fnac Darty. Offers the same B2C theater, comedy, concert, and family show catalog plus broader brand reach and physical retail distribution.
• France Billet: French e-ticketing platform owned by Carrefour, covering theater, concerts, comedy, cabaret, and leisure attractions. Directly comparable multi-category live entertainment focus.
• BilletReduc: French discount ticketing platform whose entire value proposition is reduced-price theater, comedy, and concert tickets. Closest like-for-like pricing model competitor to Ticketac.
• Ticketmaster France: French arm of the global primary ticketing leader, covering concerts, live events, and venue ticketing at significant scale. Direct competitor for major French venues and tours.

Broad incumbents

• Live Nation Entertainment: Global live entertainment giant and parent of Ticketmaster; competes broadly in concert and event ticketing but at vastly greater scale and with promoter-side integrations.
