Kaboodle is a multidimensional booking platform that unifies ticketing, travel and accommodation to enable promoters and event organisers around the world to create world-class events.
We work with some of the best festivals, venues and events on the planet. Our partners include Boomtown, Drumsheds, Snowbombing, Lost Village and many more. We come from a festival background, so our thorough understanding of the needs of promoters helped us to create a flexible, whitelabel, solution that maximises our Partners' profits and provides a frictionless guest experience from purchase to event entry. We are not just a plug-in or add-on, we are their complete solution.
We are ambitious and curious. We strive for openness and honest communication. We put our Partners' brand first. We are flexible and adaptable. We work collaboratively with everyone. We are built on frictionless technology. We were there from the beginning. We aim to simplify and unify.
