There’s something really nice about the Tiqets culture – everybody from day one is already very nice and welcoming. They’re proud to show you Tiqets. That’s what I find really fascinating about the people – they are so kind. It is fun to hang out with people in and outside the office.

I cherish the moments when colleagues from our headquarters in Amsterdam visit our office in Paris. Those face-to-face interactions go a long way in building connections beyond virtual communication.
