About Weezevent
Weezevent is a Paris-based ticketing platform that's the dominant player across European festivals and large events. Founded in 2008, it's best known for its mature RFID cashless payment system and festival-grade access control hardware, making it a go-to for organisers running events with tens of thousands of attendees.
It operates across most European markets with native language support and localised pricing in GBP, EUR, USD, CAD and more. While it serves all event sizes, the platform's depth shines on large-scale festivals where cashless wristbands and granular access control matter.

How Weezevent compares with Eventbrite
Weezevent and Eventbrite serve very different markets. Eventbrite is built around one-off paid events with broad discovery; Weezevent is built around medium-to-large European festivals with complex on-site operations. If you don't need RFID, access control, or cashless wristbands, Eventbrite is simpler to set up.
On pricing, Weezevent (UK) is 2.5% + £0.99 with payment processing fees included; Eventbrite (UK) is 3.7% + £0.59 plus 2.9% processing. On a £25 ticket, Weezevent is roughly £1.61 all-in versus Eventbrite's roughly £2.24 all-in. The gap widens at scale and with cashless added in.
