What is a good Eventbrite alternative in Belgium and the Netherlands?

That depends on your scale. For clubs, small theatres and festivals that run a few events a year, ClearTix is often a good fit: a fixed fee per ticket instead of a commission, payouts straight to your own account and your own branding. If you sell very cheap tickets in very small numbers, a pure all-in rate such as Tickable can sometimes work out cheaper.

Why is Eventbrite so expensive?

Eventbrite charges a percentage-based service fee (roughly 6.95% plus a fixed amount per ticket), on top of payment processing. Because it is a percentage, the cost rises with your ticket price, while the platform does exactly the same work. With more expensive tickets that adds up quickly.

Can I switch from Eventbrite to ClearTix?

Yes. You create a free account, connect your own Mollie or Stripe account, set up your event and ticket types, and replace the sales link on your website and social media. There is no implementation project and you can put a new event live in an afternoon.

Does ClearTix hold my ticket money like Eventbrite?

No. You connect your own Mollie or Stripe account, so revenue goes straight to your bank. ClearTix never holds your money. Payouts usually arrive within 24 to 72 hours instead of days after your event.

Which payment methods does ClearTix support?

Through Mollie or Stripe your buyers can pay with Bancontact, iDEAL, Visa, Mastercard and more. That way you don't exclude any visitor, whether they are in Belgium or the Netherlands.

Eventbrite alternative for Belgium and the Netherlands: cheaper and commission-free

Looking for an Eventbrite alternative that costs less and charges no commission? We compare ClearTix, Weeztix, Tickable, and Pretix so you can choose what fits your event.

Why organisers are leaving Eventbrite

Eventbrite charges 6.95% + a fixed service fee per ticket — on top of payment processing costs. For a €20 ticket you can easily pay €1.99 to Eventbrite alone. With 500 tickets that's nearly €1,000 in platform fees.

On top of that, Eventbrite holds your money and pays out 4–7 business days after your event. For smaller organisers that's a cash-flow problem.
