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 make the best choice for 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.
The best Eventbrite alternatives for Belgium and the Netherlands
ClearTix
ClearTix is a European ticketing platform that lets organisers connect their own payment account. Money goes directly to you — ClearTix never holds your revenue.
Costs: €0.39/ticket (free plan) or €0.25/ticket (Studio, €29/month). No percentages.
What makes ClearTix different:
- Custom domain and full branding (Studio)
- iDEAL, Bancontact, Visa, Mastercard via Mollie or Stripe
- QR check-in via browser — no app required
- Apple & Google Wallet passes
- GDPR-compliant, EU-hosted
Weeztix / Eventix
Weeztix and Eventix are Dutch platforms with percentage-based fees (~5–7%). Good for large events, but expensive for smaller organisers.
Tickable
Tickable charges €0.32/ticket all-in (including payment processing). No monthly subscription. Downsides: no custom domain, no Wallet passes, weekly payouts via Tickable (not directly to your account).
Pretix (self-hosted)
Open source, fully customisable. Requires technical expertise and your own hosting infrastructure. No Wallet passes out of the box.
