Ticmint Partners with Basketball Federation of India for FIBA Basketball World Cup
Ticmint Partners with Basketball Federation of India for FIBA Basketball World Cup
Overview
Most event organisers don’t realise they have a data problem until it’s too late.
You sell 5,000 tickets. The event is a success. Then you go to plan the next one, and you can’t contact a single person who attended. The ticketing platform owns that audience. You just paid to build someone else’s database.
This is the fundamental problem with most event ticketing software: you’re renting access to your own attendees.
This guide covers the best event ticketing platforms in 2026, what they do well and what they don’t, and how to choose the right one for your event type, volume, and growth goals.
The Matches
BFI is hosting two home qualifier matches at Veer Savarkar Indoor Stadium, Ahmedabad:
These are part of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2027 Asian Qualifiers, Window 3, India’s campaign on the road to the 2027 World Cup.
Register for tickets:
Live in Under 24 Hours
When the Basketball Federation of India approached Ticmint, the requirements were clear: fast onboarding, sophisticated ticketing, and reliable QR-based access control on match day.
Ticmint delivered all three. The platform was configured, the event pages were live on BFI’s own branded subdomain (bfi.ticmint.com), and the scanning infrastructure was ready, within 24 hours of onboarding.
No long integration cycles. No back-and-forth on setup. A national sports federation needed to move fast, and the platform moved with them.
Following the experience, BFI upgraded to Ticmint’s Growth plan, committing to the platform beyond these two matches.
About the Basketball Federation of India
The Basketball Federation of India is the national governing body for basketball in India, affiliated with FIBA (International Basketball Federation) and the Indian Olympic Association. The federation oversees national competitions, grassroots development, and India’s participation in international tournaments, including the FIBA World Cup Qualifiers.
Hosting Window 3 of the Asian Qualifiers in Ahmedabad marks a significant moment for Indian basketball, and the decision to build a structured digital ticketing system around it reflects how seriously BFI is investing in the fan experience.
Two National Sports Federations. One Pattern.
This partnership follows Ticmint’s work with the Badminton Association of India (BAI) on the Yonex-Sunrise India Open, India’s largest badminton tournament, which ran on Ticmint for two consecutive seasons, with 27,000+ tickets sold, 1M+ new users, and 3X marketing ROAS.
BAI (Badminton). BFI (Basketball).
Two national sports federations. Both affiliated with the Indian government’s sports ecosystem. Both evaluated their options and chose Ticmint to manage ticketing for their flagship events.
That’s not a coincidence. It’s a trust signal.
Government and semi-government sports organisations operate under heightened scrutiny across operational, technical, and reputational dimensions. When two of them independently choose the same platform for high-profile international events, it says something about what the platform can deliver under pressure.
For sports federations across India, the question is no longer whether to digitise fan ticketing; it’s which platform to trust with it.

What's Next for Ticmint in Sports
The India Open and the FIBA qualifiers represent the beginning of a clear vertical focus: Indian sports federations choosing Ticmint as their ticketing infrastructure.
The pipeline extends to cricket, boxing, athletics, and beyond. Every federation that moves from unstructured entry to digital ticketing takes the same first step, and that step is getting faster, thanks to what we’ve built.
If you’re a sports organisation exploring fan ticketing, access control, or audience data ownership, the infrastructure that powers national tournaments is now available to you.
