Piletilevi Strengthens Czech Presence with Ticketportal Acquisition

Piletilevi, an Estonian company, has expanded its presence in the Czech Republic by acquiring Ticketportal from the media group Mafra. This strategic acquisition follows their previous Czech market entry through the majority stake acquisition in GoOut earlier in 2023 and stems from a series of transactions steered by PRK Partners, a firm specializing in legal advisory. PRK Partners played a pivotal role in this latest deal with a team led by Managing Partner Martin Kriz, along with senior lawyers Martina Javorova and Silvia Kratochvilova. The law firm Tenacta represented Mafra, with their team spearheaded by Partner Matej Manderla and Senior Attorney at Law Ivo Hartmann. This acquisition is part of Piletilevi’s ongoing strategy to solidify its foothold in the Czech ticketing market, previously evidenced by its acquisition of Ticketstream through GoOut, also with PRK Partners' assistance. The continuous legal advisory from PRK Partners highlights the company's significant investments and acquisitions to enhance its market share and operational growth in the region.
