Estonian-based ticketing group Piletilevi PLG has announced the acquisition of Ticketportal, a leading ticketing platform in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The transaction was finalised on June 12 in Prague and is expected to double PLG’s annual ticketing volume to nearly €600 million.
With this move, PLG now operates in seven European countries and continues its strategy of consolidating regional ticketing leaders under one group. The acquisition further strengthens the company’s presence in Central and Eastern Europe following its 2023 entry into the Czech and Slovak markets through a majority stake in GoOut.net.
Sven Nuutmann, Chairman of the Management Board of Piletilevi PLG, described the acquisition as a continuation of the company’s long-term strategy to become a market leader across its operating regions. “Ticketportal is a well-established brand in the Czech and Slovak markets, and we see strong potential in combining our teams and platforms,” Nuutmann said.
Ticketportal will continue under the leadership of Lukáš Jandač, CEO of PLG Czech Republic, who will also take on the role of CEO of Ticketportal. Lucia Bočánková will remain in her role as Sales Director. Nuutmann will serve as Chairman of Ticketportal’s Supervisory Board.
Jandač emphasized that PLG now brings together several major players in the region, including GoOut, Ticketstream, and Ticketportal. “Our goal is to provide a comprehensive ticketing solution for events of all types and sizes throughout the Czech Republic and Slovakia,” he said.
PLG plans to continue investing in technology, including the development of a unified, group-wide ticketing platform. The new system aims to offer customers enhanced features and will support cross-border ticket sales across PLG markets. The rollout is expected to be completed in the Baltics and Central Europe by the end of 2026.
Piletilevi PLG is jointly owned by Angel Rose Capital (founded by Sven Nuutmann), BaltCap, and Estonian investment firm Tristafan. The group now operates in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, and Romania, serving a combined population of around 80 million.
