Transparent and fair pricing.

Many organizers look for an Eventbrite alternative because pricing can quickly become hard to predict. Weezevent offers a clear and controlled pricing model, designed for organizers who want full visibility from day one. No subscriptions. No hidden charges. No surprises.

Completely fair, transparent, and predictable pricing

Weezevent applies a simple model: 2.75% + CAD$0.99 per ticket sold. This structure is easy to understand, predictable for budgeting and remains consistent as your sales grow.

Low fee per ticket sold

Fees are only applied when tickets are sold, so your costs evolve naturally with your event’s success, rather than being fixed upfront.

No subscription or commitment

There is no monthly subscription, no long-term contract and no commitment required. You can launch, manage and close your event freely without being locked into a plan.

No credit card processing fees

Payments are processed in-house for credit cards, avoiding additional third-party processing markups. This contrasts with Eventbrite setups that may involve extra processing costs depending on your country. Fees may be applied for extra payment methods such as PayPal or Klarna.

Free for free events

If your event is free, Weezevent is completely free to use. You can manage registrations, issue tickets and control access without paying any platform fees, allowing you to run free events without hidden costs.

Your audience is your real asset.

Your audience stays yours

Nearly 90% of ticket sales occur through organizers’ own channels: website, emails, social media and partnerships. That means your growth depends on your audience, not on marketplace visibility. With Weezevent, every attendee detail generated through your ticket sales belongs to you - fully accessible, activable and exportable at any time. We do not reuse or monetize your buyer data. Your audience remains your asset.
No marketplace redistribution

Your attendee data is not used to promote other events. It is not shared across a wider marketplace or leveraged for platform advertising. There is no cross-promotion logic behind the scenes. You decide when and how your audience is contacted. The relationship remains direct, consistent and fully under your control.
Turn data into repeat sales

Ownership matters because activation drives revenue. Weezevent integrates CRM capabilities directly into the ticketing environment, allowing you to segment audiences, communicate with precision and track performance across your event’s editions. Ticketing and marketing data stay connected, so rather than having to keep starting from zero, each event strengthens the next.

Keep the spotlight on your event.

On marketplace platforms, the purchase journey often belongs more to the platform than the event. Weezevent gives you full control over how your event is presented, from first click to confirmation email.

White-label ticketing

Your identity is the only one visible throughout the entire buying experience. From ticket page to checkout and e-ticket delivery, you own your branding. Whether tickets are embedded directly on your website or sold via a dedicated Weezevent mini-site, the experience remains entirely yours. Consistency builds trust, and trust increases conversion, especially when most sales already originate from your own channels.

Customizable mini-site and forms

Create a ticketing environment tailored to your event with flexible content sections, media integrations and structured layouts – add images, videos, social links and detailed event information. Custom forms allow you to collect the exact data you need without unnecessary fields or marketplace constraints. The ticket shop can be embedded directly into your website or hosted on a Weezevent mini-site, keeping traffic and authority within your own ecosystem.

No competing events

During the purchase flow, your attendees are not exposed to other events or marketplace recommendations. The focus remains entirely on your offering. There is no algorithm optimizing visibility for a broader catalogue and the attention you generate stays with your event, protecting both your conversion rate and your brand positioning.

Sell tickets now

Built to maximize ticketing conversion.

Selling tickets online is about removing friction and reinforcing trust at every step. Weezevent is designed to leverage your own channels directly to turn more visitors into buyers.

Seamless checkout, flexible payments

Buyers stay on your website or within a fully branded mini-site. There is no redirection to a marketplace environment, and no account creation. This, combined with payment methods that are adapted to your audience, reduces hesitation and increases completion rates.

Mobile-first flow with no account creation

80% of ticket purchases happen on mobile. Weezevent offers a fast, mobile-optimized purchase flow that lets attendees buy tickets without creating an account, removing unnecessary steps that often cause drop-off.

Customized purchase experience that increases confidence

Complex pricing structures – tiers, bundles, memberships, discounts – are displayed clearly so buyers understand exactly what they are purchasing. For seated events, integrated 2D and 3D seating plans increase clarity, reduce uncertainty and strengthen perceived value.

One platform. Every stage of your event.

Your needs change as your event grows. Weezevent is built as a connected ecosystem, allowing you to scale operations without stacking tools or migrating to new providers as complexity increases.

Access control that adapts to your scale

From smaller gatherings to high-volume festivals, entry management grows with your needs. Ticket lists synchronize automatically, and on-site access can be managed via a simple app or with professional scanning equipment for faster, high-capacity operations.

Cashless built for smoother operations

As attendance rises, transaction speed becomes critical. Built-in cashless reduces lines, accelerates service and improves the on-site experience without adding operational layers or third-party systems.

Communication that supports growth

Before, during, and after the event, communication remains connected to your ticketing data. This supports targeted messaging, reduces no-shows and strengthens engagement across editions.

Team management that scales with your organisation

As your organization grows, coordinating staff, volunteers and accreditation becomes more demanding. Integrated workflows keep teams aligned and operations structured, even at scale.
