Weezevent is taking another bold step in transforming event technology. We’re thrilled to welcome Kaboodle (UK) and Weeztix (formerly Eventix, Netherlands) into the Weezevent family! This strategic move cements our position as Europe’s leading independent event technology provider, equipping organisers with cutting-edge tools backed by local expertise.
Summary
1. A growing network with unmatched expertise
With over 500,000 event organisers served and 150 million tickets processed across 30 countries, Weezevent has built a reputation as a trusted partner for events of all sizes. Now, with Kaboodle and Weeztix on board, we’re enhancing our capabilities in:
- Self-service and bespoke ticketing
- Cashless payments
- Access control and accreditation
- Staff and guest management
This partnership strengthens our ability to provide seamless, high-performance solutions tailored to the needs of event organisers across Europe.
Our combined team now boasts 260 dedicated professionals spanning Europe and Canada, including 65 experts in the UK and 40 in the Netherlands. This expansion means even more localised support, helping event organisers streamline operations and boost revenue.
2. Empowering event organisers with innovation
Existing customers will enjoy seamless continuity while gaining access to a broader range of services and innovations. This strategic move isn’t about changing what works, it’s about building on success. Despite joining forces, Kaboodle and Weeztix will maintain their operational independence, ensuring continuity for their clients while gaining access to new resources and groundbreaking technology.
Our cashless payment solutions are already in use in over 350 festivals, helping organisers simplify transactions and boost on-site spending. Now, even more events will benefit from:
- Enhanced access control for smoother entry
- Better data insights for improved decision-making
- Streamlined operations to increase efficiency and profits
Whether it’s an intimate gig or a massive festival, our mission remains the same: to provide event organisers with the best tools to succeed.
3. A shared vision of the future
Pierre-Henri Deballon, CEO of Weezevent, expressed his excitement about this milestone:
“We’ve built a model where event promoters fully own their business, data, and fan experiences. Our mission is to provide the best tools and solutions to achieve this, and welcoming Kaboodle and Weeztix marks a turning point in that journey.”
Gareth Cooper, Founder and Chairman of Kaboodle, added:
“We’re delighted to partner with Weezevent for Kaboodle’s next chapter. After growing from a startup to a business transacting millions of tickets, we can now offer clients a much broader service, from cashless payments to access control, to help them increase sales and revenue per attendee.”
Joost Aanen, CEO of Weeztix, shared:
“Teaming up with the Weezevent group as this creates a strong partnership that expands our services and unlocks new opportunities throughout Europe. Together, we’re ready to transform the event industry by combining cutting-edge technology with local expertise, delivering seamless experiences for organisers and unforgettable moments for attendees. The integration of our technologies will further enhance our service offerings and provide greater value to event organizers.”
With the acquisition of Weeztix and Kaboodle, we’re reinforcing our position in the European ticketing market, offering complete online ticketing, access control, cashless payment solutions, as well as marketing and CRM tools to optimise events at every stage.
