Kampala – Global ticketing giant Ticketmaster announced a strategic partnership with Ugandan event‑ticket platform Quicket, marking the first major step in Ticketmaster’s push into the East African market. The collaboration will integrate Ticketmaster’s international distribution network with Quicket’s local event data, allowing artists, promoters, and venues across Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda to sell tickets on a single, unified platform. Under the agreement, Ticketmaster will provide technology support, fraud‑prevention tools, and access to its global payment gateway, while Quicket will handle on‑the‑ground customer service and local regulatory compliance. Both companies expect the partnership to increase ticket sales by 40 % within the first year and to bring major international concerts and sports events to the region with streamlined ticketing solutions.
