AS3185 PAYLOGIC

PAYLOGIC — the network of Paylogic, the Groningen-based online ticketing

platform, held today by EVENTIM Holding Benelux B.V.

What it's used for

• Serving the Paylogic ticketing platform: event pages, checkout, and payment flows for festivals and venues across the Benelux and wider Europe.
• Corporate connectivity for the company's Dutch offices.

Notable

• Ticketing is one of the spikiest workloads on the public internet. A single on-sale moment can take a site from idle to tens of thousands of concurrent buyers in seconds, and the anti-bot, queueing, and payment paths all have to hold up at once. Running your own ASN gives you control over routing and upstream diversity when that happens.
• This is corporate address space, not consumer broadband — connections from it are the company's own systems.

Interesting

• Paylogic was founded in Groningen in 2005 and passed through several owners (SFX Entertainment, then See Tickets) before landing in the CTS Eventim group, which is why the RIPE record now names an EVENTIM entity while the ASN keeps its original PAYLOGIC handle.
