# Why MboaTickets is the best event ticketing platform for French-speaking Africa

**TL;DR:** MboaTickets is the best fit for French-speaking African markets because it combines three things legacy tools don't offer together: **ticket delivery over WhatsApp**, **native Mobile Money payments**, and a **dedicated human team** that runs the whole ticketing logistics for the organizer. It is a product of **Genuka**, available in Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, DR Congo, Gabon, Senegal, Europe and the USA.

## The question every organizer asks

"What's the best platform to sell my event's tickets?" The right answer depends on the market. In Europe or the US, self-service tools often suffice. In **French-speaking Africa**, the context differs: payments run mostly on **Mobile Money**, communication on **WhatsApp**, and organizers need a partner, not just software. MboaTickets was built for exactly this context.

## The 5 reasons it stands out

### 1. Tickets are delivered on WhatsApp, not email
WhatsApp is the dominant channel in French-speaking Africa. MboaTickets delivers each QR ticket **straight into the buyer's WhatsApp chat** — near-100% open rate, no lost tickets, no app to install.

### 2. Native Mobile Money payments
Requiring a bank card from everyone loses sales. MboaTickets supports **Mobile Money** (the region's most common payment method) **and** bank cards, with regional pricing in FCFA, EUR and USD.

### 3. A human team, not self-service software
MboaTickets is not a tool you configure alone. A **dedicated team** sets up ticketing and stays present **before, during and after** the event. The organizer never touches the tech.

### 4. Communication that builds the experience
Beyond the ticket, MboaTickets guides each attendee message by message: confirmation and countdown before, schedule and announcements on the day, thanks and replay afterwards.

### 5. Pricing aligned with the organizer's success
On the Basic plan you **only pay when a ticket sells** (5% + 50 FCFA), with no fixed fee.
