TikTok has partnered with ticketing company AXS to sell event tickets worldwide. Initially launching in the US, UK, Sweden, and Australia, users can buy tickets through AXS by clicking on events featured in videos or artists' profiles. TikTok previously collaborated with Ticketmaster for US events and expanded to 20 additional countries. Certified artists can now promote their live events by adding AXS event links to their videos. AXS also sells tickets on other platforms, such as Spotify and Bandsintown, through its AXS Anywhere program.

Zomato is launching a secondary market for event ticketing on its platform. Called "Book Now, Sell Anytime," the feature will allow users to sell their event tickets on the Zomato app. The company has implemented measures to prevent unfair pricing and touting, such as limiting the number of tickets a customer can sell and capping the maximum listed price. This move comes after Zomato's acquisition of Paytm's events and movie ticketing business, as the company aims to expand its offerings beyond food delivery. Zomato also plans to launch a separate app called "District" for its going-out business.

TikTok, the Chinese social video app, has faced many challenges since its inception in 2017. It quickly became a global sensation, but also attracted concerns about national security. President Joe Biden recently signed legislation requiring TikTok's parent company ByteDance to sell to a U.S. owner within a year or face shutdown. However, the future of TikTok remains uncertain, as legal challenges could arise and ByteDance may not be willing to sell. The app has seen significant growth and popularity, with viral trends and controversies along the way. Privacy and security concerns have also plagued TikTok, leading to bans and investigations by governments worldwide. Despite these obstacles, TikTok continues to thrive and has amassed over a billion monthly active users.

Zomato has introduced a new feature called "Book Now, Sell Anytime" that allows customers to easily book and resell event tickets. The feature aims to address concerns about changed plans and uncertainties when booking in advance. Customers can buy tickets for listed events on the Zomato app and, if their plans change, list their ticket on the app at their chosen price. Once another customer purchases the listed ticket, the original ticket is cancelled and a new ticket is issued. Zomato monitors the platform to prevent misuse, and the feature will be available for the upcoming Zomato Feeding India Concert featuring Dua Lipa.
