Hans Ober

Making mistakes is important. Without mistakes you are not sitting on the edge and you do not win.

Hans Ober is CEO & co-founder of TicketSwap (www.ticketswap.com), the safest and easiest platform for fans to buy and sell tickets to their favorite concerts, festivals, sporting events, theatre shows and club nights. With over 14 million users in 36 countries, TicketSwap is the leading ethical marketplace that protects fans from overpriced tickets, while establishing partnerships with festivals, promoters, venues and ticketing companies to combat ticket fraud and offer fans a safe and secure experience.
A curious person by nature, Hans was always fascinated by the power of the internet and innovation, and in 2012 conceived TicketSwap with two business partners while studying. This passion project rapidly evolved into a serious business proposition. Hans has a Bachelor degree from IVA Driebergen (2010) and a Master degree from Universiteit van Amsterdam in International Management (2013).
