Webtickets, South Africa’s market leader in integrated online ticketing solutions, has expanded its online ticketing business into Southern Africa owing to demand from clients. It recently started operating in Zimbabwe and one of its biggest ticketing sales events has included the recent 2014 Zimbabwe Tri-Series one-day international (ODI) cricket tournament, which took place from 25 August to 6 September between Zimbabwe, South Africa and Australia. South Africa won the series after defeating Australia in the final match.
Further expansion plans are on the cards, says Jonathan Wayne, Co-Founder of Webtickets. “Our expansion into Zimbabwe was due to our clients requesting our service offering there and we have had additional demand. We are currently operating in Botswana and Zimbabwe, and we plan to expand our footprint in Africa with future expansion into Angola, Zambia and east Africa”.
