Vivaticket, a ticketing and access control solution provider, has acquired Tecteltic On-line SL, a Spanish ticketing operator with an innovative cashless payment solution. Tecteltic, founded in 2013, owns the two brands Entradas a tu Alcance and Safety Global.
Entradas a tu Alcance is the third-largest ticketing portal in Spain, with over 3.5 million tickets sold in 2023. Safety Global, founded in 2019, is the country’s leading company in access control solutions, cashless solutions for festivals, and Order & Pay with smart terminals for concert bars. The company began utilising artificial intelligence to enhance predictions based on data from large events in 2023, with over 1,800 large-scale ticketing events administered. This tool provides promoters with a valuable resource for making decisions and optimising results.
The acquisition will expand Vivaticket’s network and strategy in Spain and enable the company to extend its reach further abroad. Founded in 1999 and now selling 850 million tickets annually, Vivaticket keeps bolstering its market dominance by partnering with some of the most compelling institutions and attractions on the planet.
This deal, which comes after the acquisition of Impronta in 2023, strengthens the company’s presence in Spain and its capacity to service Spanish-speaking markets. Tecteltic’s trusted solutions raise the bar for the company’s technology offering.
Vivaticket continues international growth
Silvano Taiani, chief executive officer of Vivaticket, says: “We are delighted to announce the acquisition of Tecteltic today, as a continuation of our international growth. While this acquisition will consolidate the growth of Vivaticket in Spain – together, we look forward to entering new geographies and verticals through our shared objectives. We are happy to be welcoming the Tecteltic team to Vivaticket and look forward to our continued collaboration.”
Santi Sanus, chief executive officer of Tecteltic, adds: “The integration of Tecteltic into Vivaticket aims to become one of the most important operators in Europe in terms of vertical integration in sectors and products such as culture, exhibitions, theme parks, sports, shows and music festivals.
“In this context, the services provided by Vivaticket and Tecteltic are reinforced by incorporating ticketing services to the operator, as well as the state-of-the-art technological consultancy, ticket validation, cashless and payment methods with intelligent data-phones as management software for concert bars.
“Furthermore, with the incorporation of Tecteltic’s human team and management staff to Vivaticket’s organization chart, the operator’s role as a strategic partner of its clients is strengthened by developing specialized departments in Financial Consulting, Legal, Marketing and Branding, Tax Investment, Human Resources for events, Technology for events, Payment Methods, Sponsorships and Venue Management.”
Earlier this year, Vivaticket joined forces with Mashfrog Group to release Ticket Wallet, a completely customisable solution enabling sports teams to control venue access digitally. The two organisations have joined forces to promote new digitalisation opportunities in the sports market.
