The move established a new category for international live entertainment ticketing within China’s import e-commerce market, with Tmall Global positioning Veritickets as a specialist overseas brand addressing an underserved market.

Ahead of Tmall Global’s annual 618 shopping festival, Veritickets will offer tickets to all 104 FIFA World Cup matches, alongside global tour tickets for leading Chinese-language artists including Jay Chou, Stefanie Sun, and Mayday. The platform will also feature K-pop tours across Asia, enabling fans to secure seats for performances by groups such as EXO, BTS, and i-dle.

The move comes as outbound demand for live entertainment continues to rise among Chinese consumers, driven by a packed calendar of international sporting events, including the FIFA World Cup, UEFA Champions League and Premier League, as well as a broader recovery in concerts across the Asia-Pacific region.

Veritickets aims to address longstanding difficulties in cross-border ticket purchasing. Consumers buying overseas event tickets have typically faced challenges ranging from language barriers and complex payment processes to uncertainty over ticket authenticity and availability. The platform was designed to resolve these issues for international buyers.

The platform commits to issuing confirmed, in-stock tickets in as fast as 12 hours and provides multilingual interfaces and multi-currency payment options. It also offers a “100% verified tickets” guarantee backed by a consumer-protection policy that provides a full refund, plus additional compensation of up to the ticket price, if tickets are not delivered.

Tickets are available through the Veritickets website or mobile app. The platform accepts major international credit cards, including Visa, Mastercard and JCB, and is also an officially certified partner of Alipay, China’s leading digital payments and services platform.

To enhance transparency and reduce search friction, Veritickets aggregates official and vetted ticket inventory into a single interface, allowing users to compare offerings with real-time availability and pricing. An all-in pricing model is used to limit hidden charges and last-minute price adjustments.

Event recommendations are tailored using a preference-based engine, while dedicated customer support and real-time transaction verification form part of the platform’s service and supervision standards.

Initially focused on Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia, Veritickets plans to strengthen its footprint across the Asia-Pacific region, with phased expansion into additional international markets.

The platform is currently recruiting internationally qualified ticketing agents, requiring valid operating licenses, strong credit records and proven professional service capabilities. All agents must comply with stringent requirements, including real‑time ticket updates, instant transaction validation and round-the-clock customer support, ensuring a consistent and reliable experience for buyers worldwide.

L Catterton, LVMH’s Investment Arm, Forms Strategic Partnership with Saint Bella Group to Fast Track Global Brand Growth


SHANGHAI, CHINA – EQS Newswire – 14 May 2026 – Saint Bella Group recently announced that its investment in and entered a strategic partnership with L Catterton, the leading consumer-focused private equity firm affiliated with LVMH. Managing roughly $40 billion in equity capital and with investments in over 300 renowned consumer brands worldwide, L Catterton will collaborate with Saint Bella on technology innovation, international expansion, and the development of a premium brand ecosystem. This deep cooperation aims to power Saint Bella’s evolution into a global multi brand household care group.

The partnership signals top tier international capital’s strong endorsement of Saint Bella’s business model and growth prospects, and represents a landmark strategic move in the household care sector.

Complete Digital Transformation of the Premium Services Market

According to its official website, L Catterton was jointly founded by leading consumer private equity firm Catterton, world leading luxury group LVMH, and Bernard Arnault’s family holding company Groupe Arnault. It integrates Catterton’s existing private equity business in North and Latin America with LVMH and Groupe Arnault’s private equity and real estate operations in Europe and Asia, creating the world’s largest diversified private equity firm focused on the consumer sector.

Under the strategic cooperation agreement with Saint Bella, L Catterton will provide cutting edge technology innovation support and deep insights into high net worth consumer behavior to help continuously iterate Saint Bella’s service experience and optimize its membership system.

Backed by the core resources of the LVMH Group—a global leader in luxury that owns more than 70 renowned luxury brands—L Catterton can leverage LVMH’s digital transformation practices and strategies to help Saint Bella further upgrade and iterate its services and innovation.

Top international capital enters the field, unlocking the potential of a multi brand global group

Since opening its first overseas store in 2023, Saint Bella Group has continued to expand internationally. It recently announced top tier hotel signings in five major global cities—New York, London, Paris, Bangkok and Sydney—marking the initial formation of its global operating footprint.

For Saint Bella Group, L Catterton provides access to a global range of luxury and premium consumer-brand resources. Through this partnership, Saint Bella will leverage L Catterton as a bridge to actively explore cooperation with L Catterton’s portfolio companies and industry network—seeking luxury and high end consumer partners for joint product development, integrated membership benefits, and scenario based service experiences—to jointly build a cross sector ecosystem for premium maternal & infant and lifestyle offerings.

The core strategic objective of the collaboration is to build the Group into “the Anta of maternal & infant and family care.” To realize this vision, the two parties will rely on L Catterton’s top tier global consumer network to systematically identify, evaluate, and target high growth potential new retail maternal & infant brands and cutting edge care product companies worldwide. Through a dual pathway of co investment incubation and strategic acquisitions, they will form deep capital partnerships with international brands that have unique brand value and product competitiveness—leveraging L Catterton’s global operating experience and consumer industry ecosystem to jointly expand into global markets—and selectively introduce leading international care product and retail brands to continuously enrich Saint Bella’s retail footprint and brand matrix. This strategy aims, via ongoing outward looking M&A and integration, to build a multi category brand ecosystem covering maternal & infant care, health foods, smart hardware, and more, ultimately accelerating Saint Bella’s evolution from a single service operator into a multi brand, group level global family health management platform.

Backed by L Catterton’s long standing talent network and market strategy expertise in the global consumer sector, Saint Bella is expected to gain critical support for local operations in overseas markets, brand localization, and the recruitment of high quality brands and talent. As the partnership deepens and progresses, this two way resource linkage will help Saint Bella precisely meet international market consumer demands and promote its Eastern origin professional care system onto the world stage in a more mature form.

Viewed holistically, this strategic cooperation brings not only international capital endorsement but also systematic access to world class consumer resources. From technology upgrades to ecosystem synergies, Saint Bella is completing a strategic leap from organic growth to external expansion. Against the long term trends of pro natal policies and rising family health consumption, the sector leader—having already delivered strong performance—now presents an increasingly clear global brand strategy for the future.
