Sports Ministry launches ticketing platform accreditation via Riyadhi

The Ministry of Sports announced today the launch of a service to accredit platforms for selling and reselling tickets to sports competitions and events in the Kingdom, available through the Riyadhi digital platform at riyadhi.sa.

The service aims to regulate ticket sales and resales in line with ministry-approved guidelines, while streamlining the accreditation process for investors and platform operators.

The ministry stated that ticketing platform operators have been given a 90-day grace period, starting from the issuance date of the ticket sales regulations announced on October 26, to update their systems and align their operations with the approved technical and regulatory requirements.

The ministry emphasized that this initiative is part of efforts to organize the sale and resale of sports tickets, enforce approved regulations, and enhance the reliability of transactions in the ticketing market, thereby creating a clear regulatory environment for stakeholders in the sector.
