The complete ticketing platform.

Our ticketing platform is built for more than basic online sales. From complex event setups and partner distribution to high-demand sales and on-site purchases, Weezevent gives organizers the control, flexibility and usability they need to run events smoothly at every stage.

Build a ticketing setup that fits your event

Create unlimited events, ticket types, prices and quotas, manage recurring or multi-date formats, collect the attendee data you need and publish a dedicated event mini-site. Whether you are selling for a single date, a calendar of sessions or a more complex setup, everything is designed to adapt to your organization rather than forcing you into a standard, one-size-fits-all box.

Drive sales with more control and less friction

Support conversion with a fast, intuitive buying journey, promotional tools, cross-selling options and controlled access to sales. Sell online, on-site or through an extensive list of third party sellers, and manage different distribution channels without unnecessary complexity. Weezevent gives you practical tools to sell more, with an interface that stays easy to use for both organizers and buyers.

Handle high demand and on-site operations with confidence

When traffic spikes, your ticketing setup needs to hold up. With features such as virtual queuing, on-site sales, thermal printing and real-time monitoring, Weezevent is designed for events under real operational pressure. Keep sales moving, reduce friction for teams on the ground and deliver a smoother experience for attendees from presale to entry.

Get clearer visibility on what sells, where and to who

Track ticket sales, revenue and attendance in real time; monitor sales by channel and export attendee data whenever needed. With built-in reporting and analytics integrations, our tools help you better understand performance – before, during and after your event – so decisions are based on data rather than guesswork.

A ticketing platform that scales with your events

Weezevent is designed to grow with your needs; start with ticketing, then extend seamlessly to access control, cashless payments and CRM. All within the same ecosystem, without changing tools or workflows.

Your audience is your real asset.

  • More control over attendee data

    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.

Your Event. In Focus.

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.

Your mini-site, built to rank

Each mini-site created with Weezevent is designed to support your online visibility. Pages are SEO-optimised by default, helping your event rank organically on search engines and attract traffic beyond your existing audience.

Transparent and fair pricing.

Many organizers look for a Showpass 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 setup fees. No hidden charges.

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 fees 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 commitment and no setup fees 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. 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.

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.

Tableau de bord de billetterie

One native ecosystem. 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 and accreditation management

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

Frequently asked questions

Is Weezevent a good fit for Canadian event organizers with more complex operational needs?

Yes. Weezevent is well suited to Canadian event organizers who need more than a basic box office. It supports a wide range of event formats, sales strategies and operational requirements, while also giving teams room to scale into more advanced workflows when needed. This makes it relevant for organizers running anything from recurring events and seated shows to larger festivals and multi-day events.

Can I use Weezevent for both online sales and on-site box office operations?

Yes. Weezevent is designed to support both online ticket sales and on-site operations from the same platform. Organizers can manage online sales in advance, continue selling at the venue, monitor activity in real time and keep control over capacity throughout the event. This is especially useful for teams that want a more consistent setup between pre-event sales and event-day operations.

Does Weezevent work for recurring events, timed sessions or multi-day event formats?

Yes. Weezevent supports recurring events, calendars, multi-date formats and more complex event structures. This makes it easier for organizers to manage programs with multiple sessions, several dates or different attendance flows without multiplying tools or creating disconnected setups. It is a strong fit for cultural venues, attractions, sports events and festivals in Canada that run more than one format across the year.

How does Weezevent help organizers keep control over attendee data?

Weezevent is built around organizer control. Attendee data remains accessible and usable for the organizer, with reporting and export options that help teams analyse performance and prepare future campaigns.

Is Weezevent suitable for larger events with higher traffic or more operational pressure?

Yes. Weezevent is designed for events that need reliability under pressure. Features such as virtual queuing, on-site sales tools, allocated seating, real-time monitoring and partner distribution help organizers manage demand more confidently. This is particularly relevant for higher-volume onsales, major cultural events and large-scale festivals where operational control matters as much as ticket sales.

Can Weezevent integrate with the rest of my event setup?

Yes. Weezevent offers a connected ecosystem and integration options that help organizers avoid stacking too many disconnected tools. Depending on the event, this can include integrations through API, Zapier and connected operational modules. For organizers in Canada looking for a platform that can adapt over time, this makes Weezevent a practical option for building a more cohesive event setup.

What makes Weezevent different from other ticketing platforms in Canada?

The main difference is that Weezevent combines ease of use with operational depth. Many platforms cover the basics of online ticketing, but Weezevent is built to support organizers who also need flexibility in event setup, clearer visibility on sales channels, stronger control over branding and data, and the option to grow into a broader event ecosystem.

Is Weezevent only for large events, or can smaller organizers use it too?

Weezevent can be used by organizers both large and small. A smaller team can start with straightforward online ticketing and a simple event page, while larger organizations can activate more advanced features as their requirements evolve. This flexibility makes Weezevent suitable for independent organizers, venues, festivals and institutions across Canada who want a solution that they can continue to use as they grow.
