Innovating ticket sales for large-scale events: The Universo Producciones story

Innovación en la venta de entradas para eventos masivos: el caso Universo Producciones

Universo Producciones is one of Argentina’s leading live entertainment producers, organizing some of the country’s largest music events. With thousands of attendees at every show, ticket sales are a critical part of its business, both because of the volume of transactions involved and the experience delivered to fans.

To gain greater control over how its events are managed and commercialized, Universo Producciones partnered with Exomindset to develop a proprietary ticketing platform designed specifically for large-scale events.

The challenge

In addition to reducing its reliance on third-party ticketing providers, Universo Producciones needed a solution capable of handling high-demand events without compromising the purchasing experience.

The challenge extended beyond building a reliable ticketing platform. Universo Jiménez needed complete control over event management and payment processing while introducing features that would simplify the attendee journey before, during, and after each event. At the same time, the platform had to be built on an architecture capable of supporting thousands of concurrent users.

The solution

Exomindset designed and developed a fully customized ticketing platform, starting with an MVP that validated the concept before evolving into a production-ready solution.

Beyond ticket sales, the platform was designed to support the entire event lifecycle, incorporating features tailored to both organizers and attendees, including:

  • A comprehensive back office for event management.
  • Mobile applications for attendees and event staff.
  • Integration with multiple payment providers.
  • Advance purchase of food, beverages, parking, and merchandise.
  • Dynamic QR codes for enhanced security.
  • Ticket transfers between users.
  • Offline validation of tickets and purchased items during events.

The platform was also built with a flexible architecture that simplifies future integrations and supports the company’s evolving business needs.

The impact

The platform faced its first major test during ticket sales for the Día del Amigo con La Mona event. More than 8,000 tickets were sold within the first hour, with the highest transaction volume occurring during the first thirty minutes.

The solution successfully handled traffic peaks of nearly 3,000 requests per minute while maintaining minimal wait times, thanks to an architecture designed to support up to 20,000 ticket sales per hour.

Beyond its technical performance, the project enabled Universo Producciones to take full ownership of its ticket sales operation while providing a scalable foundation for adding new capabilities as its commercial strategy continues to evolve.
