Event Pop is a two-year-old Thailand-based digital ticketing startup that helps event organizers with ticketing and marketing. Its platform offers access control, cashless payments, data collection and management, plus monitoring and analytics. The company's mobile app functions as an event-discovery and booking tool, an entry ticket and—where supported—an NFC-powered cashless payments method. To date it has handled over 3,000 events, including gigs, festivals, live shows, sports and business seminars. Financially, Event Pop has completed a Series A of over $2 million and had previously raised $500,000. The company plans to invest in new service areas and pursue expansion into parts of Southeast Asia and East Asia, potentially targeting markets such as Indonesia, and will compete with players like Peatix, EventNook and Eventbrite. Event Pop is a Bangkok-based event management and ticketing startup that combines ticketing with ongoing event campaigns and user engagement tools. The company helps event promoters run continuous campaigns rather than siloed, one-off activities. Founded in 2015, Event Pop says it has managed more than 100,000 ticket sales for over 300 events, which the CEO describes as roughly two percent market share in six months. The team argues incumbent players in Thailand have gone stale and that new technology can disrupt the market. Event Pop is focused on the Thai market for now but plans regional expansion soon with partners in Southeast Asia and Japan. Its recent $500,000 seed raise and existing backers are intended to accelerate growth amid a projected tenfold increase this year.
