About me

With a passion for the web and all things eCommerce, I founded Worldticketshop.com In 2006. The company, with over 40 staff, is one of the fastest growing companies in the Netherlands we expect to double our team within another two years. It is in the top three European Secondary Ticket Marketplaces along with Viagogo and Seatwave, which are both VC funded to the tune of $65M and $53M respectively. Worldticketshop is bootstrapped and privately owned.

We have built the company on a layer of fiscal responsibility and streamlined strategy servicing both buyers and sellers in secure, easy-to-use, marketplace that one could call an eBAY of ticketing for Europe.
