Ticketplus Expands Its Own Brand into Argentina with the Acquisition of Autoentrada, a Long-Established Ticketing Company

First acquisition since its IPO: Ticketplus converts its white-label partner in Argentina into its own operation, with Autoentrada founder Eric López leading the local business

SANTIAGO, Chile and CÓRDOBA, Argentina, Sept. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)Ticketplus Ltd. (“Ticketplus” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: TP), a technology company that operates a proprietary, full-stack platform for the live-entertainment industry in Latin America, today announced that it has acquired Autoentrada S.A. (“Autoentrada”), an Argentine ticketing company based in Córdoba with more than two decades of operating history. This is Ticketplus’s first acquisition since its August 2026 initial public offering and expands the Company’s own brand into Argentina.

Ticketplus has a presence in 11 countries, with full operations in Chile, its home market, and now Argentina, and white-label partners across the other nine. Autoentrada has operated on Ticketplus’s platform under the white-label model since 2019, and the acquisition converts that relationship into full operations, complete with direct relationships with promoters and greater control over sales, payments, access and analytics. Autoentrada’s operating metrics are already included in Ticketplus’s platform metrics, but under full operations Ticketplus should capture a greater share of the value of each ticket. Operations will initially continue under the Autoentrada brand with the intention to progressively adopt the Ticketplus brand. The local team and promoter relationships are expected to continue under the leadership of Eric López.

More than two decades in the Argentine market

With roots dating to 1999 and a commercial brand launched in 2005, Autoentrada operates in 18 Argentine provinces across concerts, festivals, sports, theater, exhibitions and corporate events. Since 2005, it has managed more than 55,000 events and issued more than 18 million tickets.

Its credentials include ticketing home matches of the Argentine national team during the qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™, among them the last home match played before the World Cup at La Bombonera, the storied home stadium of Boca Juniors in Buenos Aires, in addition to ticketing Copa Argentina and the Cosquín National Folklore Festival.

Eric López joins Ticketplus as Country Manager for Argentina

Eric López, founder and president of Autoentrada, joins Ticketplus as Country Manager for Argentina, and will continue to lead the local team. His market knowledge and relationships with promoters and organizers will support commercial continuity during the integration.

“This acquisition is consistent with the strategy we outlined at our IPO: converting proven white-label partners into full operations. Because Autoentrada already operates on our platform, we are starting from a familiar operating base. With Eric leading the business, we are able to retain the team’s knowledge and expect to strengthen our direct relationships with promoters and ticket buyers.”

– Chien-Fu Chen, CEO of Ticketplus

“I know Ticketplus’s platform from using it for years at Autoentrada. Joining Ticketplus gives us regional scale and additional capabilities in payments, access and analytics while still maintaining the team and relationships we built in Argentina. With this, we believe the business can grow to a level we would not have reached on our own. I am joining with a long-term commitment, and I look forward to continuing to lead the local business in this new chapter.”

– Eric López, Founder of Autoentrada and Country Manager of Ticketplus Argentina

The Company, directly and indirectly through its subsidiary, Ticketplus SpA, acquired all issued and outstanding shares of Autoentrada. The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Ticketplus does not expect the acquisition to have a material impact on its consolidated financial results for fiscal year 2026.
