Detailed Review
Weezevent describes itself as a French start-up created in April 2008, and says it launched the first French self-service ticketing platform. The offer has grown from online ticket sales into access control, cashless payment, staff accreditation and marketing tools.
The legal notice names WEEZEVENT SAS in Dijon (RCS Dijon 503 715 401). The privacy policy says Weezevent manages data hosting on Amazon Web Services infrastructure located in Ireland.
Ticketing and Entry
Weezevent covers online ticketing and registration, online invitations, on-site sales, allocated seating, virtual queuing and ticket resale. Upsells, payment plans, abandoned basket reminders and waitlists are listed as further features.
A free mobile app handles access control, with professional options such as NFC and intra-site control.
Cashless and Staff
On site, organisers can add cashless payment with wristbands or cards, fast top-up and point-of-sale systems, plus a volunteer and staff management module for planning and accreditation.
These modules are quoted on request, while the ticketing fee is public.
Pricing and Hosting
The homepage states 2.5% per ticket sold online plus a fixed amount, bank fees included, no setup fees, no subscription and payouts every 15 days. Free events carry no fee.
Because hosting is on Amazon Web Services in Ireland, the data sits in the EU, but the infrastructure provider is a US-owned company.
Limitations to Consider
The ticketing fee is public, but cashless, staff and CRM modules are priced on request. Hosting runs on Amazon Web Services (Ireland), so the infrastructure provider is US-owned even though the data is in the EU. The fixed part of the fee is shown in pounds on the UK page. Weezevent also belongs to a group that includes Weeztix.
Who Should Use Weezevent
Festivals, clubs and sports organisers in France and beyond who want one vendor for tickets, entry control and on-site payments.
