Venture debt strengthens ComeTogether’s market position by enabling it to support organizers with vital upfront capital – attracting new clients and deepening existing partnerships.

ComeTogether has secured a venture debt facility from Praxia Capital to provide ticketing advances for event organizers – empowering them to bring fully realized, high-quality events to life.

Ticketing advances are a well-established practice in the global live events industry, offering essential liquidity to organizers who face significant upfront costs. By bridging cash flow gaps, this financing ensures more events move from planning to reality, strengthening the live events ecosystem.

The partnership with Praxia Capital not only provides ComeTogether with additional financial flexibility but also serves as a competitive edge, enabling the company to secure more deals with top-tier event organizers.

“ComeTogether has already proven its strength in delivering innovative primary and secondary market ticketing solutions in Greece,” said Christos Trampoukis, Venture Partner at Praxia Capital. “Their strong track record shows an ability to turn vision into measurable results. Our venture debt partnership addresses a critical market need and provides ComeTogether with the liquidity to scale its impact across more live events.”

Reworks is the pioneer electronic music festival in Greece and among the most well-known in Europe, presenting a wide spectrum of electronic music and its relationship with other music genres since 2005.

Once the festival was underway with 3 of 5 festival days fully sold out, a new challenge emerged. How to support fans reaching out who wanted to be able to resell tickets to these events due to a change in their plans. Given there was an outstanding demand to purchase tickets to the event from fans initially disappointed due to sold out dates, reworks needed to figure out how to ensure a positive ticket resale experience for their fans. It was important to enable a safe resale experience for ticket buyers and sellers, as ticket fraud and scalping is a common, notorious phenomenon for events with huge demand and naturally there were some incidents of it in prior years of the festival.

“Our partnership with ComeTogether began in 2023 with the focus initially on the desire to deploy a solution to allow us to sell tickets directly from our website with reworks’ branding. During the festival we started to receive requests from fans who could not attend our four sold out days asking to be able to resell their tickets. Based on the success of ComeTogether’s functionality to enable this with only a quick click in the organizer’s dashboard we built this into our plan from the start this year for sold out shows. Problem solved – happy fans buying and selling tickets, a safe resale platform ensuring valid tickets and reasonable pricing and an additional source of revenue for reworks,” said Anastasion Diolazis, Music Director of NON and reworks festival.

Eurobank was looking for a ticketing provider regarding an upcoming corporate internal event that would be based on a private list of invitation only attendees. ComeTogether had been working with Eurobank for more than a year to support their eCommerce payment provider requirements.

In addition to ticketing, Eurobank wanted to develop a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) to celebrate the event that would be a digital representation of a statue that is awarded to children of employees based on their exceptional academic achievements. This digital 3D model was available to all students and their parents, to mint as an NFT in order to retain a digital collectible in addition to their physical award.

“We collaborated with ComeTogether on our corporate event. Our aim was to utilize new technologies to provide our guests with a seamless, unique, and engaging experience. ComeTogether’s approach, ideas, and solution were innovative and fresh, aligning with the Eurobank’s vision,” shared Maria Tachataki, Head of Employee Technology & Internal Communication at Eurobank.

Η ComeTogether μίλησε πρόσφατα στο Liberal σχετικά με το πιο πολύτιμο “εισιτήριο” προς την επιτυχία, στο πλαίσιο της επανεφεύρεσης του τρόπου διάθεσης εισιτηρίων.

Από τον Οκτώβριο του 2019, η ComeTogether έχει υποστηρίξει περισσότερες από 1.800 εκδηλώσεις σε Ελλάδα, Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο, Ισπανία και Αυστραλία, με συνολικές πωλήσεις άνω των 400.000 εισιτηρίων. Η ιδέα να αξιοποιηθεί η τεχνολογία των NFTs και του blockchain, εισάγοντας καινοτομίες για αυξημένη ασφάλεια, ευκαιρίες μεταπώλησης εισιτηρίων χωρίς ρίσκο, οργανικό marketing από το κοινό και νέους τρόπους αλληλεπίδρασης με τους θαυμαστές, έχει προκαλέσει “αναστάτωση” στην αγορά εισιτηρίων.

Στους συνεργάτες της εταιρείας συγκαταλέγονται μερικές από τις μεγαλύτερες μουσικές εκδηλώσεις στην Ελλάδα, όπως το Reworks Festival, το Wang Homesick Tour και η περιοδεία “Ελπίδα” του Κωνσταντίνου Αργυρού. Η ComeTogether κατέλαβε την τέταρτη θέση στον 14ο Διαγωνισμό Καινοτομίας & Τεχνολογίας του προγράμματος Business Seeds της Εθνικής Τράπεζας και έλαβε χρηματικό έπαθλο ύψους 4.000 ευρώ.
