In addition, the collaboration will also allow valU exclusive customers to pre-access events in sports, art, theatre, and comedy.

valU CEO Walid Hassouna said: “With tourism ramping up and COVID-19 restrictions lifting, the country’s entertainment industry is bustling with events that are bringing people together once again.

“Conversely, high inflation has blunted customer purchasing power, lining the partnership up perfectly with the needs of our clients and market realities as we work to bring innovative solutions that ease day-to-day financial burdens and empower customers to attain their desired lifestyles.”

TicketsMarche is claimed to be Egypt’s leading provider of tickets and the gateway to the country’s entertainment industry.
