The International Olympic Committee has appointed Fanatic Sports - India’s leading sports and experiential travel company – as the official Indian Authorised Ticket Reseller for Rio 2016 - the biggest spectacle this year.

Fueled by their passion for
sports, Raghav Gupta and Anant Roongta, Founders of Fanatic, noted: “2016 promises to be a great year for sport and we are excited to be a part of it. It has been an absolute honour to have such a coveted title bestowed upon us. We thank the IOA for their support and trust. Simultaneously, this opportunity in itself is a great responsibility and our constant endeavor is to do justice to it.”

As the exclusive Authorized Ticket Resellers for Rio Olympics 2016, all Indians travelling to Brazil for the games are obligated to purchase tickets from Fanatic Sports.
