Compare Weezevent and Eventbrite fees

See how ticketing fees compare in real terms for common ticket prices, based on standard UK commissions.

*Eventbrite commission calculated as 6.95% + £0.59 service fee, with 20% VAT applied to the service fee. Based on published rates as of 25.02.2025. Rates may be subject to change. Weezevent commission shown as 2.5% + £0.99 per ticket sold, taxes included.

Transparent and fair pricing.

Many organisers look for an Eventbrite alternative because pricing can quickly become hard to predict. Weezevent offers a clear and controlled pricing model, designed for organisers 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: 2.5% + £0.99 per ticket sold, taxes included. This structure is easy to understand, predictable for budgeting and remains consistent as your sales grow.

Low fee per ticket sold

Fees are applied only 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 happen through organisers’ 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 monetise 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 ecosystem 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 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.

Customisable 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 optimising visibility for a broader catalogue. The attention you generate stays with your event, protecting both your conversion rate and your brand positioning.

Sell tickets now

Built to maximise ticketing conversion.

Selling tickets online is about removing friction and reinforcing trust at every step. Weezevent is designed to directly leverage your own channels 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-optimised purchase flow that lets attendees buy tickets without creating an account, removing unnecessary steps that often cause drop-off.

Customised 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.

Sell tickets now

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 synchronise 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 queues, 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 organisation grows, coordinating staff, volunteers and accreditation becomes more demanding. Integrated workflows keep teams aligned and operations structured, even at scale.

Frequently asked questions

What should event organisers look for when choosing the best Eventbrite alternative to sell tickets online?

Event organisers looking for the best Eventbrite alternative should focus on more than just the ability to sell tickets online. Pricing transparency, control over ticket prices, data ownership, payout conditions and the overall ticketing software flexibility are key factors. A good online ticketing system should adapt to how you run events, not force you into a marketplace model designed around event listings and promotions that benefit the platform first.

How do ticketing fees and booking fees really impact the final ticket price paid by ticket buyers?

Ticketing fees and booking fees can significantly affect the final price ticket buyers pay, especially when fees are added on top of the advertised ticket price. On some platforms, multiple layers of service fees, VAT and payment processing costs can make it difficult for event organisers to predict how much money they will actually receive. Clear ticketing fees help organisers set fair ticket prices and avoid unpleasant surprises for attendees at checkout.

Do attendees pay extra fees when I sell tickets with Weezevent?

With Weezevent, ticketing fees can be absorbed into the ticket price. This allows event organisers to present a single, clear price to ticket buyers.

How much time does it take to switch from Eventbrite to another online ticketing system?

Switching from Eventbrite to another booking system is often quicker than organisers expect. Most event creators can set up an event, configure ticket prices and start selling tickets online within a short amount of time. The actual time required depends on the complexity of your event, the number of ticket types and whether you are migrating attendee data or waiting lists from a previous system.

Will I have full ownership of my data when I run events with Weezevent?

Yes, full ownership is a key difference when switching from marketplace-based ticketing solutions. Event organisers retain full ownership of attendee data generated through ticket sales.

Is Weezevent suitable for larger events, charities or recurring events with waiting lists?

Weezevent supports 800+ large scale events with project managers, and is designed to support all types of events, from smaller community events to larger events with complex access rules. It can also be used by charities, event organisers managing donations, and event creators who need features such as waiting lists, recurring events or multiple ticket categories.

Can I manage payments, promotions and event listings without relying on external tools like a Stripe account?

Weezevent offers an integrated booking system where payments are handled directly within the platform, without requiring organisers to connect a separate Stripe account. Funds are sent to the organisers’ bank account twice a month, simplifying financial management and allowing event organisers to focus on promotions, communication and running events rather than maintaining multiple external tools.

What does Eventbrite lack compared to other ticketing software?

Eventbrite lacks flexibility for organisers who need full control over branding, data, pricing structure and event presentation. Marketplace-driven event listings, limited customisation and layered fees can become constraints over time. For many event organisers, switching to a more complete ticketing solution is a game changer for their business, especially when managing money, data ownership and long-term growth in the events industry.
