Reinventing Ticketing with Transparency and Trust
bigspark and Gighabit are partnering through AWS to disrupt the illegal ticket resale market with a secure, scalable, and fully transparent ticketing platform.
Overview
Gighabit is a UK-based technology company focused on tackling the illegal ticket resale market by building a transparent ticket provenance marketplace.
bigspark and Gighabit are partnering through AWS to deliver a secure and scalable ticketing platform that gives promoters, venues, artists, and vendors stronger control across the full ticketing ecosystem.
By combining open banking integration with end-to-end lifecycle management, the platform creates a centralized environment for ticket ownership, revenue management, and operational oversight.

The Challenge
The current ticketing landscape is fragmented and lacks centralized governance over sales, ownership, and payments.
Fragmented Systems
Ticketing platforms often operate in silos, creating disconnected experiences for organizers, venues, and customers.
Limited Centralized Control
Organizers frequently have constrained visibility and governance across ticket sales, ownership transfers, and revenue flows.
Transparency Deficit
When lifecycle transparency is weak, illegal resale activity can proliferate, eroding trust and value for legitimate participants.
The Opportunity
Gighabit modernizes the ticketing ecosystem through four core pillars.
1. Centralized Governance
Organizers gain end-to-end control over ticket lifecycle activity and revenue streams, from issuance through settlement.
2. Real-Time Visibility
Standardized APIs provide real-time tracking of ownership and sales data across the platform.
3. Operational Efficiency
Scalable infrastructure and streamlined roles reduce administrative overhead for venues and promoters.
4. Automated Settlements
Stripe and open banking integration enable faster, automated settlements to improve liquidity across the ecosystem.
