InteleTravel Announces Acquisition of Tickitto, Global API for Live Events, Experiences

2 weeks ago 2

Global travel distributor and long-time host agency, InteleTravel, announced the acquisition of Tickitto, a UK-based API platform that provides access to tickets for curated live events and global experiences, including major league sports, headliner concerts, Formula 1, FIFA and more.

Like previous InteleTravel acquisitions, Tickitto and its current team, including CEO Dana Lattouf, will continue to operate as an independent brand under the InteleTravel umbrella alongside subsidiaries Hickory Global Partners, MGME and Major Travel.

InteleTravel generated over $1 billion in sales in 2024 and serves over 130,000 advisors. The acquisition demonstrates the company's dedication to offering the most comprehensive services for travelers.

Founded in late 2019, Tickitto provides advanced technology solutions to businesses by offering access to unique events and experiences. Through a modern API connection, standardized data and white-label ticket booking sites, businesses can tap into more than $63 billion worth of tickets for a wide range of experiences — from concerts and theater shows to sports events and unique local activities.

The partnership also enables InteleTravel’s network of advisors to book travel and accommodations around exclusive events and attractions to expand and improve customer value and experiences. Hickory and MGME will also offer corporate clients highly sought after VIP sports and show experiences.

James R. Ferrara, CEO of InteleTravel said in a statement, “Our analysis shows that 1 in 10 travel bookings are related to a live event, concert or sporting event and these tickets are the center of thousands of additional dollars in spend. We believe that 2025 will continue to see a rise in ‘eventcations’ and be as much about the unique moments people are seeking as the destinations they want to visit.”

He added, “With Tickitto now under the InteleTravel umbrella, we can take advantage of our packaging ability through our supply partners, our technology and our tour operation, Major Travel, to offer more value and a richer experience to our customers and increase profits for our advisors and our companies.”

With the acquisition, InteleTravel has direct, contracted access to new inventory, previously difficult to tap into due to the complexity of ticketing supply and a fragmented, outdated marketplace. The integration provides a competitive advantage to InteleTravel’s portfolio by solving the event pricing model, often bloated by reselling in secondary and tertiary markets.
