Message From Our Founder
"When I attended my first major concert in Nairobi, I spent hours in line only to discover my paper ticket was a fake. That frustrating experience planted the seed for Tickoo. We're not just building a ticketing platform - we're creating an ecosystem that supports Kenya's vibrant event industry while protecting both organizers and attendees."
