The LEINN (Entrepreneurial Leadership and Innovation) degree students of Mondragon University have developed a platform for the resale of entertainment tickets, and have named it Rebel Tickets. A group of entrepreneurial students has carried out the initiative as part of their graduation project. Now, they are developing a mobile app.

Seeing that tickets for night entertainment - especially discos - were being sold through Instagram stories, the students decided to take advantage of the opportunity. This is how Rebel Tickets was born. Once the project is implemented, young people will be able to buy and sell tickets for nightlife in Bilbao, Barcelona and Madrid.

The application has been designed to be convenient and easy to access. Those interested will receive notifications, and all operations will be carried out safely, avoiding fraud. Thus, they will be guaranteed a transparent, reliable and safe experience. In addition, the buyer and the seller can be contacted via chat, to clarify questions directly. These are some of the features of Rebel Tickets. The app will be available for download soon. In the meantime, they will continue to offer the service through their platform.

The youth of Bilbao and the surrounding area would already have heard about the popular instagram account @reventabilbao related to Islam. After a lot of work and technological development, and a name change, Rebel Tickets announces the launch of its mobile application. Now you can buy and sell your tickets in a safe, easy, convenient and more affordable way.

Rebel Tickets is a marketplace (now also an App) created for the resale of special night tickets in nightclubs, where users can sell and buy tickets in a safe and easy way.

In the beginning, it was only about sharing the stories of users selling tickets on the instagram account, it has completely changed. The project has evolved tremendously and today, Rebel has become a technological resale platform for the secure sale and purchase of festival tickets.

Rebel Tickets is a startup from Bizkaia. Asier Bengoa, Nerea Astorkiza, Nerea Zarragoitia, Jon García and Anartz San Juan make up the group together with Unai Carmona (from the Coben group). To date, 9 young people are working on this innovative project; so Rebel Tickets is a proposal created by generation Z and for generation Z.

What is the Rebel Tickets app for?

The application has been created to ensure the convenience of users. Notifications, technology to guarantee security, chat to communicate with the buyer or seller... these are some of the functionalities currently available on the platform, but thanks to the app, there will be many more: more accessibility and speed, notifications, the possibility to save tickets in the mobile wallet... in general, the experience much better for the user.

Although reselling is a controversial topic, it is a reality that will always exist and the team at Rebel Tickets is clear, it is a practice that needs to be done well. For this, solutions like this project must be provided, to avoid worries and freuds and to guarantee a safe and reliable experience.

Asier Bengoa, founder:

After creating businesses in various sectors such as events or fashion, Asier Bengoa (Mungia, 2001) registered at LEINN to learn how to create companies. He first founded a software development consultancy (Thanic) and then Rebel Tickets, a marketplace for buying and selling nightclub tickets. Its priority is security to convey confidence to the user.

This is his story:

Bengoa and his colleagues saw how through social media, tickets to nightclubs flowed freely, despite the restrictions. They created an Instagram profile to buy and sell tickets of this type in Bilbao and, after verifying that there was a high demand, they turned it into a platform. "It's hard to make money on social media, so we created our own marketplace where we can charge buyers and sellers. The key is to verify that the input is real, which we do with artificial intelligence algorithms and collaborations with developers to verify its validity in real time," he explained.

Rebel was born in Bilbao and is currently being rolled out throughout Barcelona as a step before launching in major Spanish cities. While validating the model, Unai Carmona (ex-Ticketbis), David Calvo (Zoom) and Alain Uribeetxebarria are financed with 80,000 euros and the five founders have decided not to receive a salary. "We have invested in the platform and marketing, although we work a lot by word of mouth. We have made a special commitment to security, which is essential for users to trust us. Please note we need to know that 1 out of 20 tickets on Viagogo is fake and we can't pay.
