MINGO has announced the introduction of MINGO Tickets, an innovative digital ticketing platform that aims to revolutionize event access in the live events industry. The platform is set to launch internationally, spanning 54 countries, and intends to enhance the experience for both organizers and fans at live events.
As the global live events sector recovers and grows, it has faced numerous obstacles, including counterfeit tickets, duplicated entries, exorbitant service fees, and unreliable access systems. With audiences flocking back to venues, event promoters and venue managers are in search of robust technology solutions that can scale internationally while ensuring trust, speed, and affordability.
MINGO Tickets is designed as a mobile-first progressive web application, which eliminates the need for downloads and ensures ease of use across multiple devices. Supported by the enterprise-grade infrastructure of the Hedera network, this platform promises high-volume ticketing with rapid performance, consistent pricing, and robust protection against fraud and duplication.
A significant aspect of MINGO’s expansion involves partnerships with African Boxing and the Yucateco Boxing League, targeting boxing and combat sports events across all participating African nations. This partnership aligns with Africa’s burgeoning sports ecosystem, leveraging the continent’s mobile-first environment to ensure reliable operation in diverse markets.
The technology underlying MINGO Tickets guarantees verifiable digital tickets, providing instant proof of authenticity. This not only diminishes fraud but also enhances access for fans. MINGO was among the first teams to adopt the Hedera network for its capabilities in high throughput, security, sustainability, and stable fee structures, allowing it to manage everything from grassroots events to large-scale international occasions without the issues of volatility or congestion seen in other networks.
With features that enable organizers to engage with fans beyond just event day, MINGO Tickets provides a comprehensive solution that ensures transparency, predictable pricing, and enhanced integrity at live events. Joe Arthur, CEO of MINGO, emphasized that the pressing need for scalable systems in the growing live events sector was a driving force behind the development of MINGO Tickets.
Hon. Omonlei Yakubu Imadu, CEO of Yucateco Boxing Promotions and Vice President of African Boxing, hailed the partnership as a pivotal moment for African sports, asserting that MINGO’s digital infrastructure is essential for unifying all 54 nations and streamlining ticketing, payments, and fan engagement into a singular platform.
Kevin Noone, Secretary General of the WBC Asian Boxing Council and WBC MuayThai, noted that this collaboration enhances both accessibility and integrity, asserting that MINGO Tickets provides a secure and fair system well-suited for the global expansion of boxing and MuayThai.
This 54-country rollout marks the initiation of MINGO’s larger international strategy, which will continue to focus on improving accessibility and reducing friction. MINGO is actively onboarding events of all sizes globally and encourages individuals to connect event organizers, promoters, or venues with its expanding platform—potentially qualifying them for involvement in MINGO’s international growth.
MINGO aims to address longstanding issues within the live events market, such as fraud and high fees, while enhancing access and reliability for events worldwide through its advanced digital infrastructure.
