TickiSpot Wants to Fix the Mess Behind Event Planning in Nigeria

Anyone who has organized an event in Nigeria knows the drill. Ticket sales on one app, attendee tracking on a spreadsheet, payment confirmations scattered across bank alerts, and audience engagement left to WhatsApp groups nobody checks consistently. TickiSpot, built by a team based in Ogun State, was shaped around that exact frustration.

The platform gives organizers a single dashboard to create events, sell tickets online, livestream sessions, manage attendees, and engage their audience in real time. For attendees, it is solving a different problem: event discovery that currently feels scattered, with little consistency in how people find out what is happening or where.

Built on the MERN stack, TickiSpot combines ticketing, live streaming, real-time chat, and analytics into one system. The goal is straightforward: organizers stop juggling five different tools, and attendees get an experience that feels connected instead of patched together from separate apps.

The timing lines up with where the global events industry is heading. The sector is valued at over $1.45 trillion today and projected to reach $2.1 trillion by 2032, with the event tech segment alone expected to grow from $18.4 billion to over $55 billion in that window. More than 67% of organizers are already shifting toward hybrid and virtual formats, which is precisely the space TickiSpot is positioning itself in.

For now, the more immediate opportunity is local. Nigeria’s event tech space is still fragmented, without a dominant platform handling the full journey from organizer to attendee. That gives a team building from Ogun State room to establish traction before any plan to expand beyond Nigeria’s borders.

TickiSpot is currently at MVP stage. Event creation, the ticketing system, and the organizer dashboard are already built. Payment integration, live streaming, mobile optimization, and advanced analytics are next in line for development.

The team behind TickiSpot describes it as more than a ticketing tool, framing it instead as a full event ecosystem meant to help organizers increase revenue while giving attendees a smoother path from discovery to attendance. It is also one more example of Ogun State based founders building products with ambitions well beyond the state.
