Celebratix, an Amsterdam-based startup developing a blockchain-powered ticketing platform, has announced the closing of a €2.2 million funding round. The investment is led by Airbridge Equity Partners and follows a previous €1.1 million round at the end of 2024.

Growth Objectives

Founded in 2022, Celebratix focuses on providing tools for managing ticket sales, resale, guest lists, loyalty programs, and real-time data for events, clubs, and festivals. The platform aims to offer greater control over revenue and customer data, reducing fraud and improving transparency through the use of blockchain.

Acquisition Strategy

Celebratix aims to acquire local ticketing providers in Europe, a fragmented market with approximately 300 active companies. The goal is to migrate the customers of these companies onto its platform, creating a unified system for sales, access control, and ticket resale. According to Frank Roskam, CEO of Celebratix, the company has already completed one acquisition in the Netherlands and plans to add nine more in Europe in the next year. The new funding will support this strategy, preparing the company for a Series A round in 2027.
