Ticketfrog expands as Eventfrog

Ticketfrog provides an online platform financed by advertising that allows event organizers to sell tickets free of charge. It is designed for organizers of smaller events who cannot afford electronic ticketing solutions.

However, the platform has developed into a one stop shop for event organizers, with more than 20,000 active events making it the biggest event calendar in Switzerland, revealed Ticketfrog.

Now, the startup company from Olten in the Greater Zurich Area has renamed itself Eventfrog to cover its expanded business. The platform can be used by third parties, which allows cities, the media and tourist organizations to provide a complete calendar on their websites without the effort of compiling the events or purchasing the technology required, according to Eventfrog.

A third financing round that raised a reported single-digit million figure has given the startup company the means to extend the platform, expand to Germany and boost its services. In a further development, Eventfrog has launched an event app with filter functions that gives users complimentary access to its event calendar.
