Overview
eGotickets began with a simple mission: make it easier for people to access and enjoy events. Over the last 10+ years, it has grown into a category-defining platform serving millions of users across Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda.
Built on a rock-solid Ruby on Rails foundation with MySQL, Redis, and Sidekiq under the hood, eGotickets is engineered for reliability, speed, and scale. It leverages AI for personalization, automation, and fraud detection—while offering a robust set of partner APIs that allow other platforms to display events and sell tickets natively within their experiences.
eGotickets also pioneered offline ticketing in Ghana and across Africa, establishing a new standard that’s now widely adopted—even by competitors. We’re proud to have contributed to a more accessible, connected ticketing ecosystem.
Originally an Encodev Labs initiative, eGotickets has grown into a thriving independent company—proof of our ability to take bold ideas from concept to category leadership.
