Festicket: The world's most complete festival experience hub 🌎 🎪

Lyte, the technology platform reimagining e-commerce for live events, has acquired the Festicket and Event Genius assets in a move that represents an exciting coming together of services and team worldwide, bringing much-needed solutions to the global promoter community. The acquisition enables Lyte to offer comprehensive, fan-friendly ecommerce solutions for live events worldwide alongside a broad expansion of technology and services.

Lyte founder Ant Taylor attended a sold-out Olympic Games event in 2012, which inspired the creation of Lyte to allow fans to easily return tickets they couldn't use and help other fans get verified tickets to events of their dreams. Lyte enables event organisers, venues, and artists to enhance their ticketing and ensure shows are full while keeping fans happy.

Festicket, founded in 2012, is the world's largest platform for discovering and booking festival trips. In 2019, Festicket completed the acquisition of multi-award winning ticketing and cashless POS platform Event Genius, creating a platform for organisers and fans alike, combining ticketing, marketing, travel, access control, and cashless payment solutions in one end-to-end solution. The company has received several awards, including FT 1000, Deloitte Technology Fast 50, Sunday Times Tech Track 100, and more.
