Ticketmaster has venues. Dice has artists. SuperTickets has the operators — promoters, clubs, cinemas, comedy producers, esports teams, festival crews. Nobody has built them a proper platform. We're going to.
Promoters, clubs, cinemas, comedy producers, esports teams, festival crews — a massive entertainment economy is being run on WhatsApp groups and Excel sheets. Eventbrite barely bothered. Quicket does one slice. Nobody has shipped the SaaS product these operators would get in any other industry. That's the moat.
Ticketmaster has venues. Dice has artists. SuperTickets has the operators.
Every incumbent picked a slice — usually a checkout page, usually for one vertical. None of them treat the promoter, the cinema, the comedy house as a real customer with real needs. That's the gap. It's been wide open for a decade.
| Quicket | SA incumbent. Music-heavy, card-first, weak on mobile money. Thin organiser tooling outside their home base. | Active |
| Nairabox | Nigeria-native but cinema-locked. Hasn't shipped meaningful organiser features in years. | Limited |
| TixAfrica | Single vertical. Checkout works; organiser side is a spreadsheet with a login. | Active |
| Webtickets | Dated SA platform. Fine for a corporate gala. Wrong tool for everything else. | Limited |
| Eventbrite | Global checkout page. Operator dashboard barely improved in ten years. Not built for African payment rails. | Huge |
| Ticketmaster / Dice | Locked in venues and artists respectively. Will not show up for an African promoter — never have, never will. | Huge |
| SuperTickets | Operator-first. One app covers fan and organiser. Payment rails built for African conditions. The SaaS the supply side has been waiting for. | You |
The incumbents serve the buyer.
We serve the seller.
The Fan and the Organiser live inside the same install. Tickets come in every format that matters. The rails behind it all reconcile.
The buyer experience inside the SuperTickets app. Discovery, checkout, and a ticket wallet — all on a phone, all fast on 3G.
The same app, different tab. Operators run their events from the phone they already carry — not a laptop-only dashboard.
PDF tickets by email, QR in the app, and a scanner the gate staff can actually use. No crypto theatrics — a database says yes or no.
The money layer. Card, transfer, mobile money — with a proper ledger so every naira is accounted for the morning after.
Feature-led, not calendar-led. Phase 1 is priced and scoped here — it's the foundation the rest plugs into. Phases 2 and 3 are what this proposal buys the right to build next, on the same architecture, no rewrites.
We think clearly about what's in scope so you don't pay for surprises later. Phase 1 delivers a production-ready app covering Fan and Organiser Mode, one payment rail with mobile money, and a working ticket + scanner flow. The strategy brief describes an eventual platform that goes much further — Phase 2 and Phase 3 exist precisely to build that. They are not included in this ₦7M.
These items are intentionally deferred and will be priced separately when you're ready:
Each of these is a real project in its own right. Rolling them into Phase 1 either delays launch by months or produces compromised versions of features that should be done properly. Phase 1 ships the foundation — Phases 2 and 3 build on it, no rewrites.
