The live event sector continues to grapple with issues such as ticket counterfeiting, multiple-use fraud, inflated fees, and unsatisfactory user experiences. With growing global enthusiasm for live events, there is mounting pressure on organizers to implement ticketing solutions that are secure, scalable, and adaptable across various regions.
Constructed as a progressive web application, Mingo Tickets operates on enterprise-grade infrastructure hosted by the Hedera network. This configuration enables seamless use across diverse devices without the necessity of downloading dedicated apps. The technology tackles fundamental ticketing problems, including fraud prevention and eliminating duplicate entries, and is optimized to support high-attendance events by maintaining predictable costs, rapid performance, and inherent system integrity.
As part of Mingo's broader expansion, the company is targeting the African continent by forming partnerships with African Boxing and the Yucateco Boxing League. This initiative aims to serve live events within 54 nations across Africa, an increasingly vital sports market characterized by rapid growth.
Africa's predominantly mobile-centric environment underscores the importance of accessibility and reliability. Mingo Tickets is engineered to navigate the complexities of diverse markets while minimizing ticket fraud. Its digital tickets are verifiably authentic, shifting the paradigm from assumed trust to provable legitimacy.
Mingo was among the first developers to adopt the Hedera network, recognizing its capacity to support real-world applications at scale. Hedera's attributes—namely, high speed, security, sustainability, and transparent fee structures—empower Mingo Tickets to function effectively across event scales, from local grassroots gatherings to large international productions.
A Practical Solution for Event Access
- Issuance of verifiable digital tickets to combat fraud and duplication
- Organizers benefit from reduced, predictable ticketing fees
- Mobile-first accessibility through a progressive web app
- Tools to facilitate continued fan engagement beyond the event itself
Joe Arthur, Mingo's Chief Executive Officer, commented on the launch: "As the live event industry expands globally, supporting systems must also evolve. Mingo Tickets focuses on delivering improved access, diminishing fraud, and furnishing organizers with a dependable platform, all while keeping the fan experience straightforward. Deploying our platform in 54 countries is a significant stride demonstrating the viability of our approach."
The partnership with African Boxing and Yucateco Boxing Promotions was highlighted by Hon. Omonlei Yakubu Imadu, CEO of Yucateco Boxing Promotions and Vice President of African Boxing, who described it as transformative for African sports. He emphasized, "Our goal has always been to promote African boxing on the world stage, but we lacked a comprehensive digital framework spanning 54 countries. Mingo represents more than just ticketing software—it is the foundational operating system for the sport’s future. By aligning ticketing, fighter remuneration, and fan interaction into a unified sovereign platform, we unlock Africa's full economic potential."
Kevin Noone, Secretary General of The WBC Asian Boxing Council and Secretary General of WBC MuayThai, also expressed support for the collaboration, stating, "This is a vital progression. Enhancing fan accessibility while maintaining the sport's integrity is paramount. Mingo Tickets provides a straightforward, secure, and equitable ticketing system that meets the needs of boxing and MuayThai sectors as they expand internationally."

The introduction of Mingo Tickets across 54 countries constitutes the initial phase of the company’s broader international rollout. Ongoing efforts will concentrate on further refining access, minimizing operational obstacles, and equipping organizers and attendees with infrastructure tailored for real-world large-scale events worldwide.
