Quicket is a self-service event ticketing platform founded in Cape Town in 2011 by James Tagg, James Hedley and Michael Kennedy. It remains headquartered in Cape Town and operates in six African markets: South Africa, Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya, Zambia and Botswana.
Ticketmaster, the Live Nation Entertainment-owned ticket marketplace, acquired Quicket in July 2024 for an undisclosed sum as part of its expansion into African live events. Quicket continues to operate as a standalone business under the acquisition, with founder James Tagg remaining as Managing Director.
