Transaction highlights

  • TicketSwap, one of Europe’s leading live experiences platforms that enables seamless (secondary) ticket selling, has obtained its first equity funding round of $10 million
  • The funding comes from Million Monkeys, a VC investor with extensive scaling experience of online marketplaces
  • The funding enables TicketSwap to accelerate growth, expand into new markets and optimally position the company for the reopening of various live event markets across Europe and beyond
