Platinumlist has had a spectacular year, connecting audiences with unforgettable experiences across the region. As we look back on 2024, we’re excited to celebrate the milestones, highlights, and moments that made this year so remarkable. From hosting world-class events to introducing innovative features, here’s a snapshot of what we accomplished together.
New Features
Revolutionizing Ticketing: Ethical Fan-to-Fan Ticket Exchange
One of our proudest achievements this year has been the launch of our ethical fan-to-fan ticket exchange feature, which is now available across UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman. This innovation has set a new standard in secondary ticketing, addressing the issues of inflated prices and ticket fraud that have plagued the industry for years.
With this feature, our platform ensures fairness and accessibility for genuine fans. Backed by our SafeTickets dynamic QR code system, buyers and sellers enjoy a secure and seamless experience, transforming a once-problematic market into a win-win for everyone involved. Over just three months of testing, we’ve recorded a staggering 600% increase in user engagement with this feature.
For organizers, this ethical approach protects your brand reputation and ensures your events remain accessible to real fans.
Raising the Bar with SafeTickets
This year, we introduced SafeTickets, a dynamic QR code system designed to combat ticket fraud and simplify entry. Moving away from traditional PDF tickets, our innovative solution enhances security by refreshing QR codes multiple times a minute. Whether transferring tickets to friends or managing last-minute changes, SafeTickets ensures a smooth, reliable experience for event-goers—even offline.
By tackling fraud head-on, we’ve safeguarded our users and your events, maintaining the trust that’s essential in the entertainment industry.
Smarter Technology for Better Events
We’ve rolled out several key updates to make event management even smoother for our partners:
- Optimized Queue System: Handling high-demand ticket launches with enhanced traffic allocation, ensuring faster purchases and happier customers.
- Access Control 2.0: A revamped scanning app for iOS, featuring offline functionality, detailed order insights, and live scanning reports.
- Improved White Label Pages: A modernized design with better SEO controls to boost visibility and conversions for your events.
Expanding Our Reach: New Markets
This year marked significant growth as Platinumlist expanded into Jordan, Oman, and Qatar. By bringing our advanced ticketing and event management solutions to these countries, we’re enabling organizers to streamline their operations and connect with broader audiences. From music festivals to corporate conferences, our platform is empowering unforgettable events in new regions.
