Foundation and development

When hospitality tells a story, it begins with a change of perspective: away from the difficult-to-access box and towards the digital experience platform. This is exactly where OFFICIAL VIP comes in. Since 2012, the brand has stood for a new standard as the first official hospitality portal for VIP tickets for premium events directly from the rights holder - transparent, digital and curated at the highest level. 

 

What used to work via personal contacts, telephone lists and manual processes can now be achieved with just a few clicks. OFFICIAL VIP bundles official hospitality offers from sports and entertainment on a central platform and has been continuously developing since its foundation - from the first digital hospitality solution to a leading marketplace for premium experiences. 

Positioning and claim 

OFFICIAL VIP translates classic VIP experiences into a contemporary, digital customer journey. Companies, business travelers and discerning event fans can find reliably verified VIP tickets, business seats and boxes here - always with the security of booking directly from the portfolio of the rights holders. 

 

The focus is not just on the seat with the best view, but on the entire experience: stylish reception, high-quality catering, exclusive surroundings and ideal conditions for networking and relationship management. OFFICIAL VIP is positioned as a premium platform for all those who want to use live sport and entertainment as a special experience - whether privately with family and friends or on business with customers and partners - always with a clear focus on quality, safety and professionalism.

Innovative strength and service orientation 

OFFICIAL VIP combines the emotional power of live sport and entertainment with the efficiency of modern e-commerce technology. Intuitive booking processes, digital handling and clear product profiles ensure a convenient and reliable user experience. Every booking is more than just a transaction - it is the starting point for a hospitality experience that culminates in the arena or concert venue. 

 

The platform history of OFFICIAL VIP is characterized by continuous innovation, a growing event portfolio and increasing internationalization. With every new event, every partnership and every unforgettable evening, OFFICIAL VIP continues to write this story - always with the aim of turning a click into the beginning of an extraordinary live moment and making hospitality a service-oriented experience at the highest level.
