With over six million users in 36 countries, TicketSwap is on a mission to become the world’s favorite platform for buying and selling tickets. The Interim Benelux Partnerships Manager will forge long-term relations between TicketSwap and Dutch and Belgian ticketing companies, event organizers, and venues, to help TicketSwap achieve this goal.
About TicketSwap
TicketSwap aims to provide a fair, safe, and secure way for fans to experience their favorite artists, festivals, sports teams, and more. Whether fans are desperately looking for last-minute tickets to that sold-out Beyoncé concert, Pinkpop, or the European soccer finals, TicketSwap is the marketplace for them. For fans in possession of tickets but unable to attend, TicketSwap allows them to recoup their cost. Prices are capped at 120 percent of the original price, preventing usury on reselling tickets and keeping the focus on regular, trustworthy people. But fans can also buy primary tickets straight from the event organizer. For this, TicketSwap has partnered with over six thousand providers worldwide.
