213 Productions

What 213 Productions does

213 Productions is a privately held French SARL founded in 2007 and headquartered in Fougères, Brittany, operating as a regional ticketing platform and show producer/distributor for the Grand Ouest (Western France) market. The company sells tickets online and through venue box offices for concerts, comedy/theatre, dance, festivals, family entertainment, and increasingly niche categories such as MMA and interactive spectacles across approximately 20 French cities. Its customer mix is anchored by individual consumers (B2C) with a dedicated CE et Groupes channel serving employee committees and group bookings, plus gift-card and promotional offerings as ancillary products.

The underlying technology is built on the Trium platform operated by a related SARL entity, Carré Or (€5,000 capital, registered at the same Fougères address), which provides real-time seat allocation, automatic best-available fallbacks, and order management. Payments are processed through PAYBOX with SSL encryption, and the public website runs on WordPress hosted by OVH. The company owns no patents or trademarks, maintains no mobile application, and discloses no API/SDK surfaces.

The business model is transaction-fee-driven: revenue is generated through ticketing commissions on each sale, a €1 fee per e-ticket order, a €3 fee for tracked mail delivery, gift-card sales (valid one year), and economic participation in self-produced events such as the Les Perséides festival. The company is led by managing partner Arnaud Faz and operates with 28 employees, supported by a multi-channel marketing footprint spanning the website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, email newsletter, and organic SEO. No external funding, acquisitions, AI capabilities, or enterprise customers were disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Ticketmaster France: Subsidiary of Live Nation, the global market leader in event ticketing. Ticketmaster France directly competes with 213 Productions across concerts and live events, with vastly larger artist relationships and nationwide brand recognition.
• Live Nation Entertainment: Global live entertainment conglomerate combining venue ownership, artist management, ticketing (Ticketmaster), and concert promotion. Although a much larger entity, it includes direct competitor functions to 213 Productions in promotion and ticketing at global/European scale.
• Fnac Spectacles (France Billet): One of France's largest ticketing platforms, operated by France Billet (subsidiary of Fnac Darty). Competes directly with 213 Productions on concert, show, and festival ticket distribution, but at national scale and through a much broader retail-ticketing footprint.
• AEG Presents: Global concert promoter and live entertainment operator with European operations. Competitor at the promoter/venue level, especially for larger touring acts similar to those booked by 213 Productions.

Emerging players

• Eventbrite: Global self-serve ticketing platform increasingly present in France for concerts and live experiences. Competes on smaller and emerging live event ticketing, though its core event types differ.

Direct peers

• LiveTicket: French regional-event ticketing service for concerts, festivals, and shows. Closely comparable in scale and French-regional market positioning, addressing the same consumer and group-buying segments.
• Digitick: Major French online ticketing platform offering concert and event ticket sales nationwide. Direct competitor on mainstream ticketing and event distribution in the same product/customer category.
• Weezevent: French ticketing and event registration SaaS provider used by festivals, venues, and producers across France. Offers a comparable technology stack and serves a similar segment of independent promoters and regional events.
• Seetickets France: Multi-territory online ticketing platform serving concerts and live events in France. Operates in the same transactional ticketing category with similar take-rate economics on third-party events.

Regional players

• Corida (ex-Grégoire Productions / Adhoc Studios): French regional concert and show producers/promoters serving comparable Western France and adjacent territories. Closely matched in scale, business model (producer plus local ticketing), and venue relationships.
