What is MAISEAT and Why Does it Matter?

This is a game-changer for both international fans wanting to attend events in China, and Chinese fans eager to experience performances abroad.
“MAISEAT has a solid competitive advantage in the global market based on Alibaba Group’s technological prowess, abundant resources and broad ecosystem, and Damai Entertainment’s over 20 years of operational experience in the Chinese performance market,” explained Walter Zheng, a representative for MAISEAT. He emphasized the company’s focus on building a “highly reliable operating model,” with initial expansion targeting Southeast Asia and the Korea-Japan markets.
Beyond Ticketing: A Full-Service Entertainment Ecosystem
MAISEAT isn’t stopping at just ticket sales. The platform envisions itself as a comprehensive solution for the global entertainment industry, offering end-to-end event management functions and operational support for partners. This ambition signals a desire to become a central hub for international performance logistics, potentially streamlining everything from artist booking to venue management. This holistic approach is a key differentiator in a crowded market.
Currently Available Events & Future Plans
As of launch, MAISEAT features tickets for a diverse range of events, including Show Wesugi’s concert ‘Till the End of the World’ in Hong Kong, WeiBird’s concert ‘See You Tomorrow (again :)’ in Tokyo, and Mamamoo Solar’s ‘Solar’s 3rd concert in Singapore. Yue Yunpeng & Sun Yue’s 2025 world tour ‘Si Hai Fu Lin’ in Kuala Lumpur is also listed, alongside approximately ten other performances.
Looking ahead, MAISEAT plans to launch Alipay international mini-programs and dedicated mobile applications, further enhancing accessibility and user experience.
