GIGLON

What GIGLON does

GIGLON is a Spanish-headquartered online ticketing and event discovery marketplace founded in 2012 and operating with roughly 20 employees from Madrid. The company's platform combines three interconnected directories — events, venues (salas/teatros), and artists — with a ticket sales engine and self-serve event creation tools, allowing organizers to publish events and consumers to discover and purchase tickets in a single interface. The platform is web-based, supports six European languages (Spanish, English, Catalan, Basque, Galician, French), and is localized primarily for the Spanish market with limited reach into France.

Technically, GIGLON is a standard web platform with no documented mobile application, no public API or SDK, and no disclosed integrations beyond Google Analytics. The platform holds an ENS (Esquema Nacional de Seguridad) certification under Spanish Royal Decree 311/2022, indicating compliance with national information security standards. Cookie-based user recognition is used to personalize the experience.

GIGLON earns revenue through marketplace commissions on ticket transactions between event organizers and attendees. Its GTM motion is direct-to-consumer via the giglon.com website, supplemented by Facebook and Twitter/X profiles. The company is private, has no disclosed funding rounds or investors, and no public revenue figures. Affiliations with ENISA, ICEX, and the Bono Cultura Jove program provide government and cultural-channel credibility in the Spanish market.
