#TBF26 Preview: Hello digital ID. Farewell scalpers

Joining us at #TBF26 for the first time is Mikael Ungerholm, Founder and CEO of ZipperTic. In an exclusive session, Mikael will share how identity-linked ticketing is being used to eliminate fraud, touting and fake fans.

In 2019, this technology leader had an idea to finally eliminate ticket scalping while improving venue security and audience insights.

Today, ZipperTic has built a patented identity-linked ticketing platform that prevents bots, counterfeit tickets and uncontrolled resale, delivering fair access, safer venues and full audience visibility – all aligned with emerging global standards and regulations.

Drawing on Mikael’s experience leading enterprise scale digital platforms including more than 20 years in senior executive roles at Ericsson across Europe and North America, this session explores what identity-linked tickets mean in practice for venues, rights holders and ticketing operators and why this approach is becoming increasingly relevant as regulation, security and fan trust move centre stage.

Be part of the discussion and join hundreds of ticketing, live entertainment and venue professionals as we connect, learn and re-engineer our ticketing business together at #TBF26 on April 27-29 in Manchester.

Connecting eCommerce and Entertainment.
27-29 April 2026 | Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester
