Press release: Expedia Group announces agreement to acquire Tiqets

Expedia Group announced today that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Tiqets, the Amsterdam-based platform for activities and experiences. By combining Tiqets’ curated selection of museums, attractions, and cultural experiences with Expedia Group’s global reach and extensive travel supply, partners will gain new opportunities for growth, while travelers will benefit from a more comprehensive and seamless booking experience.

The transaction is subject to Works Council advice and other customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026.

Capital Mills is proud to once again be part of an international success story originating in the Dutch software and technology ecosystem. Since its initial investment in Tiqets in February 2016, Capital Mills has actively supported the company for nearly a decade—first as lead investor in the Series A round, and later through a board seat and advisory roles—guiding the company through both periods of strong growth and more challenging market conditions.

During this time, Tiqets has evolved into a leading global platform for booking activities and cultural experiences, driven by a strong team and a clear mission to make culture more accessible to everyone.

This transaction underscores Capital Mills’ long-term approach to value creation and follows other successful exits earlier this year within its portfolio, including Mopinion and Presspage.

Erwin van der Veen, Capital Mills:

“Since our initial investment in 2016, we have seen Tiqets evolve into a recognized international player in the experiences space. The team has consistently executed on its strategy, and this acquisition is a strong acknowledgment of their achievements. We are proud to have been part of this journey and wish Tiqets and Expedia Group every success in the next chapter.”
