Softickets is a two-sided ticketing platform for Zambia's events economy, broadly estimated at K7.8B+ — an attendee app and an organiser app, connected in real time, designed around how people already pay. We're focused first on formal, ticketed events in Lusaka, with a roadmap to national and regional scale. Here's the opportunity.
Zambia's events industry has grown for years without infrastructure built for it. We're closing that gap with a platform designed around mobile-first, mobile-money-first reality.
Events across Zambia are still ticketed informally — cash at the gate, paper stubs, no data. Softickets replaces that with a digital system built for the market as it actually operates.
Mobile money already reaches the majority of Zambians. Softickets checkout is designed around that reality first, with cards and other popular options layered in.
Two purpose-built apps — Softickets for attendees, Softickets Pro for organisers — sharing one real-time backend. Every sale, scan, and payout updates live across both.
Cryptographically signed QR tickets and a dedicated gate-scanning app make counterfeit entry effectively impossible — a first for the Zambian market.
Our roadmap moves from Lusaka to all 10 provinces, then into the SADC region — Zimbabwe, Malawi, Tanzania, and Mozambique — reusing the same infrastructure.
Aslan Softicketing Innovations Limited (ASIL) is PACRA-registered in Zambia and built with data protection and ZICTA compliance from day one.
