Tokyo, July 17, 2024 - Rakuten Ticket, a ticket reservation and sales website managed by Rakuten Ticket, Inc., today announced the launch of "Rakuten Ticket mini," an easy and intuitive self-onboarding platform that enables event organizers to quickly set up and manage ticket sales for events^*1.

Available to enterprise event organizers, Rakuten Ticket mini allows users to manage everything from ticket sales to revenue and entry^*2. By simply registering event details, ticket information and the event page publication date, organizers can immediately start selling tickets through Rakuten Ticket^*3.

Once tickets are on sale, event organizers can use Rakuten Ticket mini to view data such as ticket sales, revenue and the number of event attendees on the day of the event - all in real time. The system also includes a feature for downloading full lists of ticket holders, available from the afternoon before the event starts until the close of the event^*4. After reporting that the event has ended, organizers can request payment of sales proceeds with the click of a button. If ticket refunds are necessary, they can be processed easily through Rakuten Ticket mini. The service fee for event organizers is 4.9% of ticket sales (tax included).

In addition to these features, event organizers can leverage the Rakuten Ecosystem, which connects over 100 million Rakuten members^*5 across Japan with more than 70 services, to promote their events and boost ticket sales. Moreover, people buying tickets on Rakuten Ticket can earn Rakuten Points with their purchases.

Amid the recent boom in fan-driven activities and the growing diversification of events in both scale and content offerings, Rakuten Ticket mini was launched to help event organizers effortlessly sell tickets for any kind of occasion.

Rakuten Ticket is committed to delivering innovative entertainment experiences, addressing industry challenges and empowering people, communities and society as a whole.
