Join the Ticketing Revolution!

vivenu was founded in Germany with a global mission: to redefine ticketing for event organizers worldwide. The event industry has long relied on outdated systems that fall short in today’s digital age. Our platform empowers organizers in sectors like sports, live entertainment, and cultural venues to fully customize their ticketing solutions to meet their unique needs and strategic goals.

We’ve achieved rapid growth while remaining profitable, and we’re expanding globally with offices in Europe and the U.S. Leading tech investors and industry experts such as the San Francisco 49ers as well as high-profile clients like Stanford University, the Grammys, and City Winery already trust us.
