Festicket is a platform that should appeal to all festival goers and music lovers in general. After several months in beta, the site has recently launched its V1.
Start-up, launched last June and based in London, offers indeed a turnkey solution to book and attend music festivals around the globe. At the end of the year fresh, events more or less exotic are already available for booking: Day Zero Festival (Mexico), Snowboxx Festival (Andorra), Carnevale di Venezia (Italy) or Melt! Festival (Germany) ...
How does it work in practice? Simply visit the website and choose one of the events on sale now or in the future. Each event offers a detailed presentation with traditional video presentation, dates, photos, program with the artists (which you can listen with a nice integration Soundcloud), locate and hotels, recommendations and questions / answers.
It remains then to select a package that typically includes the ticket, accommodation and sometimes extras like breakfast or dinner, other events, etc.. Reservation is quick and easy and the price is attractive, everything is done in a few clicks with the "One click booking". As for the business model, start-up takes 20% commission on average over all elements of the package.
The platform, which has received very positive feedback from consumers, but also partners of the press, now attracts more than a thousand unique visitors per day and hopes to convince new investors to finalize a fundraiser.
