This comparison covers pricing, attendee management and CRM features for the platforms available to Irish organisers in 2026. Choosing the right online ticketing platform in Ireland comes down to practical criteria. Fair and transparent pricing, support for popular payment methods, responsive customer service, and ease of use. This article compares the main platforms available to Irish event organisers in 2026. The market is dominated by international platforms built nearly 20 years ago. Eventbrite (United States, 2006), Ticketmaster (United States, large-scale events), and Ticket Tailor (United Kingdom, 2012). Against these established players, newer European alternatives have emerged to better serve event organisers with lower fees, modern interfaces, and dedicated human support. PassPass is one of these alternatives. A European ticketing platform launched in 2024, it charges just 2% + €0.60 incl. VAT per ticket sold (no subscription), offers responsive human support in English, and provides a modern interface covering the full event lifecycle. Ticket sales, on-site badge printing, QR code access control, website widget integration, seating plans, and invoicing. Over 2,000 events created. Create your first event for free on PassPass. Sign up in 2 minutes, no commitment. ## Why event organisers switch ticketing platforms ### The problem you already know, or want to avoid You have probably experienced this frustration before. Spending hours configuring a complicated ticketing system, discovering hidden fees at billing time, or waiting days for a response from increasingly automated support. Some traditional giants impose their constraints. Dated interfaces that require a learning curve, registration processes that cause your attendees to drop off, opaque pricing where fees pile up, rare updates and stagnating features. This is precisely why more and more event organisers in Ireland are looking for an alternative. Not necessarily a tool with more features, but one that works well, is pleasant to use, and evolves with their needs.

Embedded widget on your site, branded checkout, custom tickets and emails, sending from your own domain. **How do I create an event on PassPass** Create your free account on PassPass, add your event information (name, date, venue), configure your tickets and pricing, customise the page with your visuals, then publish.

The event is free, so the ticketing should be too. But what attendee management features do you actually get on the free tier? Community events, charity fundraisers, local meetups, volunteer gatherings, parish events, school fundraisers. The event is free, so the ticketing should be too. But free does not always mean the same thing. Some platforms are free for free events but lock features behind a paywall. Others include the full feature set regardless of whether you charge admission. The difference matters more than you might think. A charity gala with 200 guests needs to know who is attending, what table they are assigned to, and whether they have dietary requirements. A community festival needs headcounts for safety planning. A volunteer coordination event needs contact details for follow-up. All of these are free events that still need proper attendee management. ## Why a Google Form is not enough A Google Form collects registrations and puts them in a spreadsheet. That works for five people. For 50 or 200, you need more. You need duplicate detection so the same person does not register twice. You need a QR code on each registration so you can scan people in at the door and know in real time who has arrived. You need the ability to email all registrants when the venue changes or the schedule shifts. A ticketing platform handles all of this. A spreadsheet does not. [Image: demo screenshot event creation] ## Eventbrite Free for free events. You get a listing on the Eventbrite discovery platform, which gives your event visibility to people browsing for things to do in your area. Basic attendee management is included: a list of registrants, a check-in app, and the ability to email attendees. The limitations appear when you want custom registration fields beyond the basics, audience segmentation, or branded communications. Those require the paid tier. If your free event only needs a headcount and a door list, Eventbrite's free tier works. If you need structured attendee data, you will hit the ceiling quickly. ## Humanitix Free for free events, with a social enterprise model where fees on paid tickets fund charitable projects. Available in Ireland and well-suited to the community and nonprofit sector. The platform includes custom registration questions, basic attendee reporting, and a check-in tool. For charity events and community fundraisers, the brand association with social impact is a genuine plus. CRM-style features like attendee segmentation and targeted email campaigns are limited compared to platforms that specialise in attendee management. ## Luma Free tier available for smaller events. Clean, modern interface with built-in guest management and email tools. Popular with tech meetups, community workshops and networking events. The free plan has attendee limits and restricted customisation options. Works well for recurring community gatherings under 50 people where the audience is consistent and you want lightweight CRM features like guest lists and follow-up emails. ## PassPass Free for all events without paid ticket sales, with no attendee limit on the free tier. The full feature set is available regardless of whether your event charges admission. For Irish community organisations, this means you get the same CRM and attendee management tools as a paid corporate event. ### What is included for free - Custom registration fields – collect dietary requirements, accessibility needs, t-shirt sizes, volunteer roles, or any data point your event requires. No limits, no premium tier. - QR code check-in with real-time dashboard – scan attendees in at the door from any smartphone. Track who has arrived and who has not, broken down by ticket type. - Integrated email communication – email all registrants or specific segments directly from the platform. Schedule changes, practical updates, post-event follow-ups. - Website widget integration – embed a registration form on your own website. Visitors sign up without leaving your site. - On-site badge printing – scan the QR code at arrival, print a personalised badge in seconds. Name, role, organisation. Ideal for conferences, AGMs, and community gatherings. - Full customisation – branded event page, personalised confirmation emails, custom registration flow. Your community event, your brand. The platform charges only when you sell paid tickets (2% + €0.60 per ticket, VAT included). Free events cost nothing, with no feature restrictions. [Image: Demo analytics screenshot] ## Comparison for free events | Feature | PassPass | Eventbrite | Humanitix | Luma | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Free for free events | Yes, all features | Yes, basic features | Yes | Yes, with limits | | Attendee limit (free) | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | Limited | | Custom registration fields | Unlimited | Paid plans only | Available | Limited | | Attendee segmentation | Built-in | Paid plans only | Basic | Basic | | Email communication | Integrated | Basic | Basic | Built-in | | QR check-in | Yes + dashboard | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Badge printing | Integrated | No | No | No | | Best for | Any free event needing CRM | Simple RSVPs | Charity events | Small meetups | ## What to check before choosing Free ticketing platforms for community events differ on three things that matter. First, custom registration fields: can you collect more than name and email without paying? Second, attendee communication: can you email registrants directly from the platform with targeted messages? Third, check-in: do you get QR-code scanning and a real-time attendance dashboard so you know who has actually arrived, not just who registered? If your free event only needs a headcount, any platform works. If you need to know who is coming, collect specific information from them, reach them before the event, and manage their arrival on-site, pick a platform that includes attendee management features in the free tier rather than locking them behind a paywall. ## A solution for every type of community event Community – Cultural events (multi-date, reduced rates, exports for grant reporting), Nonprofits and charities (accessible, free for non-ticketed events). Pro and B2B – Seminars and conferences (forms, name badges, QR check-in), Corporate events (B2B invoicing), Training (online registration, capacity management). **Create your free event** All features included, no cost for free events. Set up in 2 minutes. → Get started free (https://dashboard.passpass.be/auth/register) ### FAQ **Is free ticketing really free** For events without paid ticket sales, most platforms charge nothing. The differences are in what features you get for free. Some platforms restrict custom fields, segmentation or communication tools to paid plans. Check what is included in the free tier before committing. **Can I use free ticketing for a charity fundraiser** Yes. If the event itself is free to attend (with donations collected separately), free ticketing platforms work well for managing registrations, communicating with attendees and handling check-in. If you sell tickets at a price, fees will apply on most platforms. **Do I need a ticketing platform for a small community event** For events under 20 people, a simple email or group chat may be sufficient. For anything larger, a ticketing platform gives you structured registration data, QR-code check-in, real-time attendance numbers, and the ability to communicate with all registrants from one place. The time investment to set up is 10 to 15 minutes. **Can I print badges at a free event** Yes. PassPass includes integrated badge printing where the QR scan at check-in triggers a personalised badge with name, role, and organisation. Ideal for conferences, AGMs, and community gatherings with more than 50 attendees. **Can I add event registration to my website** Yes. PassPass lets you embed a registration widget on your website. Visitors sign up directly on your site without being redirected. The data flows into your attendee management dashboard automatically. --- ## How to sell tickets for your event in Ireland URL: https://pro.passpass.be/en/blog/how-to-sell-tickets-event-ireland Category: Guides Published: 2026-09-12 Tags: ticketing, guide, ireland, crm Step-by-step guide for Irish event organisers. From choosing a platform to scanning attendees at the door, with a focus on integrated ticketing and CRM. You have a venue, a date and a programme. Now you need people to register, pay and show up. This guide covers the full process for Irish event organisers, from setting up your first ticket to printing badges at the door. The focus is on platforms that combine ticket sales with attendee management, so you are not juggling five tools to run one event. ## Choose a platform that collects more than payments Most ticketing platforms focus on the transaction. Ticket sold, money received, done. But if you are running a professional event, a conference, a trade show or a corporate gathering, you need more. You need to know who is coming, what their role is, which sessions they signed up for, whether they need parking, and what they eat. That data should flow into your attendee management system without any manual export. Look for a platform that lets you add custom registration fields beyond name and email. Job title, company, phone number, meal preference, accessibility needs. Each field becomes a data point you can use for segmentation, communication and on-site logistics. This is what separates a ticketing tool from an event CRM. The ticketing tool sells a ticket. The event CRM knows who bought it, can reach them before the event, and uses their data to personalise the on-site experience. ### What to look for in an event platform - Modern and intuitive interface – create your event and start selling tickets in minutes. No training required, no mandatory sales calls before you can get started. - Secure payment processing – Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna. PCI DSS compliant. Instant confirmation with PDF ticket and Wallet. - Transparent pricing with no subscription – pay only when you sell. No monthly fees, no setup costs. Calculate your profitability before your first ticket goes on sale. - Website widget integration – embed ticket sales on your own site. Your visitors stay in your brand experience. API and Webhook available for custom setups. - White label and full customisation – branded checkout, personalised tickets and emails, custom sending domain. Your event, your brand, from start to finish. - Responsive customer support – real people who understand event logistics. Available before, during, and after your event. - On-site badge printing – scan the QR code, print a personalised badge in three seconds. Name, company, role, colour-coded by ticket type. - Built-in invoicing tools – generate structured invoices for professional attendees. Essential for B2B events and corporate registrations. [Image: demo screenshot event creation] ## Set up your event and ticket types Start with the basics. Event title, date, time, venue address and a description that tells potential attendees what to expect. Upload a cover image that works on both desktop and mobile. Then configure your ticket types. Early bird, standard, VIP, speaker, exhibitor, group rates. Each ticket type can carry different pricing and different registration fields. A VIP ticket might ask for company name, job title and badge name. A general admission ticket might only need a name and email. A speaker ticket might collect a bio and headshot. On a platform with integrated CRM, the ticket type becomes a natural segmentation layer. You can later email all VIP holders separately, generate a list of all speakers, or export all exhibitors with their stand requirements. ## Accept payments in euros Ireland uses the euro. Make sure your platform supports EUR payments through Stripe or a similar PCI-compliant processor. The payment methods that matter for Irish audiences are Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Some platforms also support Klarna for flexible payment options on higher-priced tickets. Check the fee structure carefully. Some platforms charge a percentage plus a fixed fee per ticket. Others charge a flat monthly rate or a per-ticket fee with no percentage. For most Irish events under 2,000 attendees, a per-ticket model with no subscription is the most cost-effective option. You pay only when you sell. ## Embed ticket sales on your website A sales widget embedded on your own website keeps visitors in your brand experience. They select tickets, fill in their details and pay without being redirected to a third-party domain. The registration data still flows into your attendee management system. Look for platforms that offer a JavaScript widget or iframe integration that matches your website's colours and fonts. This is especially important for corporate events where brand consistency matters. ## Communicate with attendees before the event Once tickets are sold, the communication begins. Practical updates, schedule changes, parking info, session reminders, pre-event surveys. If your ticketing platform includes integrated email tools, you can do this without exporting contacts to a separate mailing tool. Filter by ticket type, send targeted messages, track opens and clicks. The attendee list and the communication tool share the same data, so every email reaches the right segment. This is where integrated CRM pays off. A conference organiser can email speakers their AV setup form, send exhibitors their stand allocation, and remind all attendees about the networking dinner, all from the same dashboard without touching a spreadsheet. ## Manage check-in and badges on the day Each ticket carries a QR code. At the venue entrance, scan it with a smartphone or tablet. The system confirms the ticket is valid, checks it has not been used before, and marks the attendee as arrived. Your real-time dashboard shows how many people have checked in, broken down by ticket type. If your platform supports badge printing, the scan triggers a printed badge with the attendee's name, company and role, pulled directly from the registration data. No separate badge software, no pre-printed lists that are out of date by event day, no handwritten name tags. One scan, one badge, three seconds. The badge design matches your event branding, with colour coding by ticket type for easy identification. [Image: Demo analytics screenshot] ## Use the data after the event After the event, you have a complete record of who registered, who actually attended, when they arrived and which ticket type they held. On a platform with integrated CRM, that data is already structured and ready for follow-up. Send a thank-you email to everyone who attended. Share session recordings with specific ticket holders. Survey attendees on their experience. Invite them to your next event with a returning-attendee discount. The compounding effect is real. Each event builds your attendee database. Over time, you know your audience better, your communication gets more targeted, and your events sell out faster because you are reaching people who already know and trust your events. ## A solution for every type of event Pro and B2B – Professional events (registration, invoicing, on-site badges), Seminars and conferences (forms, name badges, QR check-in), Trade shows (visitor management, arrival badges), Corporate events (B2B invoicing). Entertainment – Festivals (multi-day passes, presales), Concerts (sale waves, UTM tracking), Nightlife (presales, VIP), Sports events. Community – Cultural events (multi-date, reduced rates), Nonprofits and charities (free for non-ticketed events). **Create your first event free** Set up in 2 minutes, no commitment. Configure your event, tickets and branding at your own pace. → Get started (https://dashboard.passpass.be/auth/register) ### FAQ **How long does it take to set up ticketing for an event** On most platforms, you can have your event live and selling tickets within 15 to 30 minutes. Creating an account, adding event details, configuring ticket types and customising your page. If you add custom registration fields and branding, allow an additional 15 minutes. **Can I sell tickets on my own website** Yes. Most platforms offer an embeddable widget or iframe that you can add to your website. Visitors buy tickets directly on your site without being redirected. The data flows into your attendee management system the same way as direct sales. **Do I need a separate tool for badge printing** On most platforms, badge printing requires a third-party tool or manual preparation. PassPass includes integrated badge printing where the QR scan at check-in triggers a personalised badge using the registration data. No separate software needed. **What is an event CRM** An event CRM (Customer Relationship Management) is a system that manages your attendee data beyond the ticket transaction. It includes custom registration fields, attendee segmentation by profile or ticket type, integrated email communication, and post-event analytics. Some ticketing platforms include CRM features natively; others require you to connect external tools. **What payment methods are accepted for Irish events** PassPass accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Klarna. All payments are processed in euros and are PCI DSS compliant. **Can I customise the ticket buying experience to match my brand** Yes. PassPass lets you customise the entire checkout experience. Embedded widget on your site, branded checkout, personalised tickets and emails, custom sending domain. Colour and layout customisation is included in standard pricing. **Can I use the platform for free events** Yes. PassPass is completely free for events without paid ticket sales. You get all platform features including custom registration fields, attendee segmentation, email communication, QR check-in, and badge printing at no cost. --- ## Best event ticketing platforms in Malta (2026) URL: https://pro.passpass.be/en/ticketing-comparisons/best-event-ticketing-platforms-malta Category: Comparisons Published: 2026-09-12 Tags: ticketing, comparison, malta, crm Looking for an event ticketing platform in Malta?

The event is free, so the ticketing should be too. But what attendee management features do you get on the free tier? Community events, charity fundraisers, local meetups, volunteer gatherings, parish events, school fundraisers. The event is free, so the ticketing should be too. But free does not always mean the same thing. Some platforms are free for free events but lock features behind a paywall. Others include the full feature set regardless of whether you charge admission. The difference matters more than you might think. A charity gala with 200 guests needs to know who is attending, what table they are assigned to, and whether they have dietary requirements. A community festival needs headcounts for safety planning. A volunteer coordination event needs contact details for follow-up. All of these are free events that still need proper attendee management. ## Why a Google Form is not enough A Google Form collects registrations and puts them in a spreadsheet. That works for five people. For 50 or 200, you need more. You need duplicate detection so the same person does not register twice. You need a QR code on each registration so you can scan people in at the door and know in real time who has arrived. You need the ability to email all registrants when the venue changes or the schedule shifts. A ticketing platform handles all of this. A spreadsheet does not. [Image: demo screenshot event creation] ## Eventbrite Free for free events. You get a listing on the Eventbrite discovery platform, which gives your event visibility to people browsing for things to do in your area. Basic attendee management is included: a list of registrants, a check-in app, and the ability to email attendees. The limitations appear when you want custom registration fields beyond the basics, audience segmentation, or branded communications. Those require the paid tier. If your free event only needs a headcount and a door list, Eventbrite's free tier works. If you need structured attendee data, you will hit the ceiling quickly. ## Humanitix Free for free events, with a social enterprise model where fees on paid tickets fund charitable projects. The platform includes custom registration questions, basic attendee reporting, and a check-in tool. For charity events and community fundraisers, the brand association with social impact is a genuine plus. CRM-style features like attendee segmentation and targeted email campaigns are limited compared to platforms that specialise in attendee management. ## Luma Free tier available for smaller events. Clean, modern interface with built-in guest management and email tools. Popular with tech meetups, community workshops and networking events. The free plan has attendee limits and restricted customisation options. Works well for recurring community gatherings under 50 people where the audience is consistent and you want lightweight CRM features like guest lists and follow-up emails. ## PassPass Free for all events without paid ticket sales, with no attendee limit on the free tier. The full feature set is available regardless of whether your event charges admission. For Maltese community organisations, this means you get the same CRM and attendee management tools as a paid corporate event. ### What is included for free - Custom registration fields – collect dietary requirements, accessibility needs, t-shirt sizes, volunteer roles, or any data point your event requires. No limits, no premium tier. - QR code check-in with real-time dashboard – scan attendees in at the door from any smartphone. Track who has arrived and who has not, broken down by ticket type. - Integrated email communication – email all registrants or specific segments directly from the platform. Schedule changes, practical updates, post-event follow-ups. - Website widget integration – embed a registration form on your own website. Visitors sign up without leaving your site. - On-site badge printing – scan the QR code at arrival, print a personalised badge in seconds. Name, role, organisation. Ideal for conferences, AGMs, and community gatherings. - Full customisation – branded event page, personalised confirmation emails, custom registration flow. Your community event, your brand. The platform charges only when you sell paid tickets (2% + €0.60 per ticket, VAT included). Free events cost nothing, with no feature restrictions. [Image: Demo analytics screenshot] ## Comparison for free events | Feature | PassPass | Eventbrite | Humanitix | Luma | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Free for free events | Yes, all features | Yes, basic features | Yes | Yes, with limits | | Attendee limit (free) | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | Limited | | Custom registration fields | Unlimited | Paid plans only | Available | Limited | | Attendee segmentation | Built-in | Paid plans only | Basic | Basic | | Email communication | Integrated | Basic | Basic | Built-in | | QR check-in | Yes + dashboard | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Badge printing | Integrated | No | No | No | | Best for | Any free event needing CRM | Simple RSVPs | Charity events | Small meetups | ## What to check before choosing Free ticketing platforms for community events differ on three things that matter. First, custom registration fields: can you collect more than name and email without paying? Second, attendee communication: can you email registrants directly from the platform with targeted messages? Third, check-in: do you get QR-code scanning and a real-time attendance dashboard so you know who has actually arrived, not just who registered? If your free event only needs a headcount, any platform works. If you need to know who is coming, collect specific information from them, reach them before the event, and manage their arrival on-site, pick a platform that includes attendee management features in the free tier rather than locking them behind a paywall. ## A solution for every type of community event Community – Cultural events (multi-date, reduced rates, exports for grant reporting), Nonprofits and NGOs (accessible, free for non-ticketed events). Pro and B2B – Seminars and conferences (forms, name badges, QR check-in), Corporate events (B2B invoicing), Training (online registration, capacity management). **Create your free event** All features included, no cost for free events. Set up in 2 minutes. → Get started free (https://dashboard.passpass.be/auth/register) ### FAQ **Is free ticketing really free** For events without paid ticket sales, most platforms charge nothing. The differences are in what features you get for free. Some platforms restrict custom fields, segmentation or communication tools to paid plans. Check what is included in the free tier before committing. **Can I use free ticketing for a charity fundraiser** Yes. If the event itself is free to attend (with donations collected separately), free ticketing platforms work well for managing registrations, communicating with attendees and handling check-in. If you sell tickets at a price, fees will apply on most platforms. **Do I need a ticketing platform for a small community event** For events under 20 people, a simple email or group chat may be sufficient. For anything larger, a ticketing platform gives you structured registration data, QR-code check-in, real-time attendance numbers, and the ability to communicate with all registrants from one place. The time investment to set up is 10 to 15 minutes. **Can I print badges at a free event** Yes. PassPass includes integrated badge printing where the QR scan at check-in triggers a personalised badge with name, role, and organisation. Ideal for conferences, AGMs, and community gatherings with more than 50 attendees. **Can I add event registration to my website** Yes. PassPass lets you embed a registration widget on your website. Visitors sign up directly on your site without being redirected. The data flows into your attendee management dashboard automatically. --- ## How to sell tickets for your event in Malta URL: https://pro.passpass.be/en/blog/how-to-sell-tickets-event-malta Category: Guides Published: 2026-09-12 Tags: ticketing, guide, malta, crm Step-by-step guide for Maltese event organisers. From choosing a platform to scanning attendees at the door, with a focus on integrated ticketing and CRM. You have a venue, a date and a programme. Now you need people to register, pay and show up. This guide covers the full process for Maltese event organisers, from setting up your first ticket to printing badges at the door. The focus is on platforms that combine ticket sales with attendee management, so you are not juggling five tools to run one event. ## Choose a platform that collects more than payments Most ticketing platforms focus on the transaction. Ticket sold, money received, done. But if you are running a professional event, a conference, a trade show or a corporate gathering, you need more. You need to know who is coming, what their role is, which sessions they signed up for, whether they need parking, and what they eat. That data should flow into your attendee management system without any manual export. Look for a platform that lets you add custom registration fields beyond name and email. Job title, company, phone number, meal preference, accessibility needs. Each field becomes a data point you can use for segmentation, communication and on-site logistics. This is what separates a ticketing tool from an event CRM. The ticketing tool sells a ticket. The event CRM knows who bought it, can reach them before the event, and uses their data to personalise the on-site experience. ### What to look for in an event platform - Modern and intuitive interface – create your event and start selling tickets in minutes. No training required, no mandatory sales calls before you can get started. - Secure payment processing – Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna. PCI DSS compliant. Instant confirmation with PDF ticket and Wallet. - Transparent pricing with no subscription – pay only when you sell. No monthly fees, no setup costs. Calculate your profitability before your first ticket goes on sale. - Website widget integration – embed ticket sales on your own site. Your visitors stay in your brand experience. API and Webhook available for custom setups. - White label and full customisation – branded checkout, personalised tickets and emails, custom sending domain. Your event, your brand, from start to finish. - Responsive customer support – real people who understand event logistics. Available before, during, and after your event. - On-site badge printing – scan the QR code, print a personalised badge in three seconds. Name, company, role, colour-coded by ticket type. - Built-in invoicing tools – generate structured invoices for professional attendees. Essential for B2B events and corporate registrations. [Image: demo screenshot event creation] ## Set up your event and ticket types Start with the basics. Event title, date, time, venue address and a description that tells potential attendees what to expect. Upload a cover image that works on both desktop and mobile. Then configure your ticket types. Early bird, standard, VIP, speaker, exhibitor, group rates. Each ticket type can carry different pricing and different registration fields. A VIP ticket might ask for company name, job title and badge name. A general admission ticket might only need a name and email. A speaker ticket might collect a bio and headshot. On a platform with integrated CRM, the ticket type becomes a natural segmentation layer. You can later email all VIP holders separately, generate a list of all speakers, or export all exhibitors with their stand requirements. ## Accept payments in euros Malta uses the euro. Make sure your platform supports EUR payments through Stripe or a similar PCI-compliant processor. The payment methods that matter for Maltese audiences are Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Some platforms also support Klarna for flexible payment options on higher-priced tickets. Check the fee structure carefully. Some platforms charge a percentage plus a fixed fee per ticket. Others charge a flat monthly rate or a per-ticket fee with no percentage. For most Maltese events under 2,000 attendees, a per-ticket model with no subscription is the most cost-effective option. You pay only when you sell. ## Embed ticket sales on your website A sales widget embedded on your own website keeps visitors in your brand experience. They select tickets, fill in their details and pay without being redirected to a third-party domain. The registration data still flows into your attendee management system. Look for platforms that offer a JavaScript widget or iframe integration that matches your website's colours and fonts. This is especially important for corporate events where brand consistency matters. ## Communicate with attendees before the event Once tickets are sold, the communication begins. Practical updates, schedule changes, parking info, session reminders, pre-event surveys. If your ticketing platform includes integrated email tools, you can do this without exporting contacts to a separate mailing tool. Filter by ticket type, send targeted messages, track opens and clicks. The attendee list and the communication tool share the same data, so every email reaches the right segment. This is where integrated CRM pays off. A conference organiser can email speakers their AV setup form, send exhibitors their stand allocation, and remind all attendees about the networking dinner, all from the same dashboard without touching a spreadsheet. ## Manage check-in and badges on the day Each ticket carries a QR code. At the venue entrance, scan it with a smartphone or tablet. The system confirms the ticket is valid, checks it has not been used before, and marks the attendee as arrived. Your real-time dashboard shows how many people have checked in, broken down by ticket type. If your platform supports badge printing, the scan triggers a printed badge with the attendee's name, company and role, pulled directly from the registration data. No separate badge software, no pre-printed lists that are out of date by event day, no handwritten name tags. One scan, one badge, three seconds. The badge design matches your event branding, with colour coding by ticket type for easy identification. [Image: Demo analytics screenshot] ## Use the data after the event After the event, you have a complete record of who registered, who actually attended, when they arrived and which ticket type they held. On a platform with integrated CRM, that data is already structured and ready for follow-up. Send a thank-you email to everyone who attended. Share session recordings with specific ticket holders. Survey attendees on their experience. Invite them to your next event with a returning-attendee discount. The compounding effect is real. Each event builds your attendee database. Over time, you know your audience better, your communication gets more targeted, and your events sell out faster because you are reaching people who already know and trust your events. ## A solution for every type of event Pro and B2B – Professional events (registration, invoicing, on-site badges), Seminars and conferences (forms, name badges, QR check-in), Trade shows (visitor management, arrival badges), Corporate events (B2B invoicing). Entertainment – Festivals (multi-day passes, presales), Concerts (sale waves, UTM tracking), Nightlife (presales, VIP), Sports events. Community – Cultural events (multi-date, reduced rates), Nonprofits and NGOs (free for non-ticketed events). **Create your first event free** Set up in 2 minutes, no commitment. Configure your event, tickets and branding at your own pace. → Get started (https://dashboard.passpass.be/auth/register) ### FAQ **How long does it take to set up ticketing for an event** On most platforms, you can have your event live and selling tickets within 15 to 30 minutes. Creating an account, adding event details, configuring ticket types and customising your page. If you add custom registration fields and branding, allow an additional 15 minutes. **Can I sell tickets on my own website** Yes. Most platforms offer an embeddable widget or iframe that you can add to your website. Visitors buy tickets directly on your site without being redirected. The data flows into your attendee management system the same way as direct sales. **Do I need a separate tool for badge printing** On most platforms, badge printing requires a third-party tool or manual preparation. PassPass includes integrated badge printing where the QR scan at check-in triggers a personalised badge using the registration data. No separate software needed. **What is an event CRM** An event CRM (Customer Relationship Management) is a system that manages your attendee data beyond the ticket transaction. It includes custom registration fields, attendee segmentation by profile or ticket type, integrated email communication, and post-event analytics. Some ticketing platforms include CRM features natively; others require you to connect external tools. **What payment methods are accepted for events in Malta** PassPass accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Klarna. All payments are processed in euros and are PCI DSS compliant. **Can I customise the ticket buying experience to match my brand** Yes. PassPass lets you customise the entire checkout experience. Embedded widget on your site, branded checkout, personalised tickets and emails, custom sending domain. Colour and layout customisation is included in standard pricing. **Can I use the platform for free events** Yes. PassPass is completely free for events without paid ticket sales. You get all platform features including custom registration fields, attendee segmentation, email communication, QR check-in, and badge printing at no cost. --- ## White label ticketing. A fully branded experience for your events URL: https://pro.passpass.be/en/blog/white-label-event-ticketing Category: Guides Published: 2026-08-06 Tags: white label, ticketing, customization, branding, event ticketing Your buyers see the ticketing platform's logo and colors, not yours. Discover how to increase the perceived value of your brand with white label ticketing. Each option is detailed in this article, and a live tool lets you preview the result with your own branding. PassPass is a modern ticketing platform with an advanced white label option to increase the perceived value of your brand. Your event's visual identity is reflected at every step of the buying journey. Widget embedded on your site, registration form, tickets, emails sent from your own domain name, badges. Built on a recent technical foundation with particular attention to interfaces, the platform offers a smooth and high-quality checkout experience. Our team supports you throughout the setup to ensure a precise alignment with your brand. Request a quote. ## What is white label ticketing A white label ticketing system operates under the organizer's identity. Colors, typography, logo and event visuals replace those of the ticketing platform. For the buyer, the booking takes place within the organizer's visual universe, as if the ticketing tool were an integral part of the website. On traditional ticketing platforms such as Eventbrite, Weezevent or Billetweb, the platform's branding and style remain prominent for the buyer. Header logo, domain name in the URL, standard design. PassPass lets you replace these elements with your own. ## Sales widget embedded on your website The ticketing widget integrates directly into a page on your website, without redirecting to an external URL. Your visitors buy their tickets without leaving your domain. The widget is fully customizable. Colors, layout, displayed elements. No visual break. The visitor never leaves your environment. The widget integrates with Framer, Webflow, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace and any custom website with a simple copy-paste of the provided code. No technical skills required. ## Branded checkout experience From ticket selection to payment, every screen of the registration flow reflects your event's visual identity. Colors, typography, border radius, visuals. The buyer sees no break between your website and the booking form. Try the live demo that generates a personalized preview from your website URL. PassPass automatically retrieves your colors and style. You see the result in seconds. ## Tickets that match your event PDF tickets and Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes are fully customizable. Colors, layout, displayed elements, content structure. The attendee receives a ticket that matches your event, with no mention of the ticketing platform used. ## 100% customizable emails Every email sent to attendees is fully customizable. Colors, layout, displayed elements, block content. Purchase confirmation, event reminder, post-event follow-up. The attendee receives an email that matches your event, not one bearing the ticketing platform's branding. PassPass also offers custom sending domain configuration. By adding a DNS record (CNAME, SPF, DKIM) to your domain, emails are sent from an @your-domain.com address instead of @passpass.be. For the attendee, the email comes directly from your organization. This setup also improves your email deliverability. ## Going further. Custom badges on event day Branding can extend all the way to event day. Printed badges reflect your event's design with a visual adapted per attendee profile (standard, VIP, exhibitor, staff). Discover the full workflow in our guide on badge printing for events. [Image: On-site badge printing service] ## Available everywhere. Badge printing in Belgium and neighboring countries The customization of your online ticketing works for any event, without geographic limitation. Widget, checkout flow, tickets, emails. For on-site badge printing, the service covers Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Germany. ### FAQ **What is the difference between white label ticketing and standard ticketing** With a standard ticketing platform like Eventbrite or Weezevent, buyers see the platform's logo and colors. With a white label ticketing solution like PassPass, everything matches your event's branding. The buyer feels like they are using your own booking tool. **Which elements are customizable** The sales page, registration form, checkout flow, tickets (PDF and Wallet), emails and printed badges. On every touchpoint, customization is complete. Colors, layout, displayed elements, content. The logo is available as a paid option. **Are technical skills needed to integrate a white label ticketing solution** No. The PassPass widget integrates into any website (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, custom site) with a simple copy-paste of code. Color and design customization is done from the dashboard without any technical intervention. **Is white label customization available for small events** Yes. Customization is available on all PassPass events, regardless of the number of attendees. Free events benefit from the same customization options as paid events. **Can emails be sent from my own domain** Yes. By configuring a DNS record (CNAME, SPF, DKIM) on your domain, confirmation and reminder emails are sent from an @your-domain.com address. The attendee sees your sender name and your domain, not the ticketing platform's. This configuration is offered as an option on PassPass. **Why choose PassPass over another white label ticketing platform** PassPass is built on a recent technical foundation, designed with a strong focus on interfaces and user experience. Many ticketing platforms that have been around for years run on older architectures, which limits visual quality and checkout flow smoothness. The PassPass team supports each organizer through the white label setup to challenge the visuals, improve user experience and ensure a precise alignment with your brand. --- ## From ticketing to badge in one scan URL: https://pro.passpass.be/en/blog/ticketing-badge-integrated-workflow Category: Guides Published: 2026-06-05 Tags: ticketing, badge, workflow, check-in, professional event Sell your tickets, scan entries and print badges from a single tool. How an integrated workflow simplifies check-in at your professional events. You sell your tickets online. You also need personalised badges for your professional event. In most setups, these are two separate worlds. The ticketing platform handles registrations, then you need to export a file, reformat it and import it into another tool to produce the badges. Every late registration means redoing the whole operation. When ticketing and badge printing share the same system, this manual layer disappears. The participant's data flows from the registration form to the printed badge with no intermediary. ## One tool for three steps The journey of a participant at a professional event breaks down into three steps. Online ticketing collects registrations and personalised data. Access control validates entry by scanning the QR code on the day. And badge printing produces the personalised badge from that same data, in real time, the moment the participant arrives. Most organisers use different tools for each of these steps, which creates friction at every junction. A CSV export here, an import there, a manual check in between. With an integrated platform, these three steps form one continuous flow with no intermediate handling. ## The flow in practice The organiser creates the event and configures the tickets. They add the custom fields needed for the badges. Company, job title, department, chosen sessions. These fields appear in the checkout form that participants fill in. Participants buy their ticket online and fill in their details. Each registration is immediately visible in the organiser's dashboard. On the day of the event, the participant arrives and presents their QR code on their smartphone or printed ticket. The reception team scans the code with the PassPass app. The scan triggers two things simultaneously. It validates the entry (the ticket is marked as used for the entire team in real time) and it displays the participant's data on screen. The receptionist verifies the information and starts printing. The badge comes out of the printer in seconds. If a participant registers five minutes before the event, or on the spot via a manual addition in the dashboard, they appear in the system instantly. Their badge prints just like everyone else's, with no extra handling. ## The data that feeds the badge The registration form is what feeds the badge. Standard fields (first name, last name, email) and custom fields you add to suit your needs. Everything the participant enters during registration can be used on the badge. Some concrete examples. The participant's company and job title are printed on the badge to facilitate networking. A colour code per ticket type (VIP, speaker, press, exhibitor) makes each profile identifiable at a glance. A QR code printed on the badge serves as an access pass for multi-day events. The sessions chosen by the participant can be printed on the back to help them navigate the programme. The more precise your registration form, the more useful the badge becomes. And since the data comes directly from what the participant entered, there is nothing to retype or verify manually. ## What it changes on event day Without an integrated workflow, checking in at a professional event means sorting pre-printed badges alphabetically, searching for the right badge in the pile, managing no-shows (badges printed for nothing) and late registrations (missing badges to produce in a rush). With an integrated workflow, these problems disappear. Each badge is printed the moment the participant arrives. Last-minute registrations are handled automatically. A name or company correction in the dashboard is immediately reflected at the next scan. Check-in time per participant drops below ten seconds. At an event of 500 people with three printing stations, all participants can be checked in within two hours, with no notable queues. For more on badge formats, printing equipment and setup timelines, see our complete guide to event badge printing. ## Which events benefit most The integrated approach is particularly suited to professional conferences with 50 to 2,500 participants, where networking is central and every attendee needs to be identifiable. It also fits trade shows with exhibitors, visitors and press requiring different badge designs per profile. Corporate seminars where registrations evolve until the last day. And multi-day events where the badge serves as an access pass throughout. For smaller events (fewer than 50 people) or festivals where individual identification is not needed, a simple ticket scan is enough. **An event with integrated ticketing and badges** Tell us about your event (date, number of participants, venue) and we will suggest the right package. Free quote. → Request a quote (/contact) ### FAQ **Does registration form data appear automatically on the badge** Yes. All registration form fields (standard and custom) are carried over to the badge with no re-entry. If you add a "company" and a "job title" field to your form, this information will appear directly on the participant's badge. **Can participant details be changed after registration** Yes. Details can be edited in the dashboard at any time. The change takes effect immediately. If the participant has not yet been scanned, their badge will be printed with the corrected data. **How many printing stations should I plan for** Each printing station handles about 100 badges per hour. For an event of 500 people with arrivals spread over 1.5 hours, three stations are enough to handle the flow without queues. PassPass sizes the number of stations based on your event. **Does the system work for multi-day events** Yes. The badge is printed once on the first day and remains valid for the entire duration of the event. A QR code on the badge allows entry scanning each day without reprinting.

Practical guide to event badge printing. It's 8:45 am. The first attendees arrive and your team is digging through a stack of 300 badges sorted alphabetically. One attendee spells out their name, twice. Another isn't on the list because they registered the day before. The queue grows, smiles fade. Most organisers have experienced this scenario at least once. The good news is that there are now simple ways to avoid it. Have a badge project? Request a free quote. ## Why a badge changes the dynamics of an event From 50 attendees, a name badge transforms the welcome experience. First name, last name and company are visible at chest height. Conversations start without the classic "sorry, who are you again?". At a seminar or conference, the badge also solves an operational problem. A colour code or printed label distinguishes speakers, press, VIPs, exhibitors and staff. Your teams identify each profile at a glance, without checking a paper list. For larger professional events, the badge can also serve as an access pass. A QR code printed on it replaces the wristband or stamp, and provides precise tracking of entries and exits. ## Pre-printed or printed on site Two approaches coexist, with very different logics. The pre-printed badge is ordered from a printer. You need to plan for logistics lead time: send the attendee list several days before the event, wait for printing, then collect the badges or have them delivered. This chain forces you to freeze your list early. Its weak point: every no-show after submission produces an unused badge, and every late registration produces a missing badge that has to be managed by hand on the day. The on-site printed badge is produced the moment the attendee arrives. They present their ticket, the badge comes out of the printer in seconds. Nothing to sort beforehand, no surplus, no shortfall. This is the approach adopted by the majority of trade shows and exhibitions and professional events today. The choice depends on your context. If you have 40 confirmed attendees three weeks ahead and zero last-minute registrations, pre-printing works and remains the most cost-effective option since there is no printing equipment to rent. In all other cases, on-site printing avoids unpleasant surprises. ## The practical workflow The attendee arrives and presents their QR code, on a smartphone or paper e-ticket. Your team scans the code with a phone or tablet. The printer retrieves the registration data and produces the personalised badge. The whole process takes less than ten seconds. With an Epson event printer, throughput reaches about 100 badges per hour per station. For a 500-person event with arrivals spread over 1.5 hours, three printing stations are enough to handle the flow without queues. If you use PassPass for online ticketing, your data is synced directly with the dashboard. An attendee who registers minutes before the event or at the front desk appears immediately in the attendee list and in the scanning app. Their badge can be printed straight away. Manual additions are synced in the same way. The person at the desk checks the data on screen, adjusts a name or detail if needed, and starts printing. ## Badge formats and customisation The most common format is 86 × 54 mm, the same size as a business card. It fits into a standard badge holder and works for most conferences and seminars. For trade shows or events with more information to display (programme, access zones, large QR code), the A6 format provides more space. The information printed depends on your registration form. First name, last name, company and role are the basics. A QR code can serve as a contact card that other attendees scan, or as an access pass for multi-day events. If your form includes custom fields (department, chosen sessions, dietary requirements), this data feeds directly into the badge with no re-entry needed. The design follows your event’s visual identity. Colours, typography, logo, and if needed a colour code by profile to distinguish speakers, press, exhibitors and VIPs at a glance. PassPass can create the design or integrate artwork provided by your designer. Pre-perforated paper replaces PVC plastic, costs less and is recyclable. On-site printing also eliminates waste from no-shows, since only badges for attendees who are present are produced. [Image: Personalised badge with name, company and QR code] ## The equipment you need Three elements must work together for on-site printing to go smoothly. The event printer. PassPass uses Epson printers designed for continuous badge printing throughout the day. They handle text, logos and QR codes without loss of quality, even after several hundred prints. Pre-perforated paper. Sheets with pre-cut badge slots, available in matte or glossy finish. Several formats exist depending on the badge size required. Paper replaces PVC plastic: it costs less, is recyclable, and suits the vast majority of events. Accessories. Lanyards, clips, badge holders. These items can be purchased separately or received in a complete kit with the printer. Renting a complete kit (printer, consumables and accessories) is the most common option. It is available by the day, weekend or week, depending on the duration of your event. [Image: On-site badge printing equipment] ## Badge printing in Belgium PassPass supports events of all sizes across Belgium and beyond. Congresses, corporate conferences, trade shows, seminars, gala evenings, team buildings. Equipment is delivered to the event venue anywhere in Belgium and in neighbouring countries. On-site printing is particularly suited to events where registrations keep coming in until the last moment. This is the case for most conferences and trade shows in Belgium, where a significant share of attendees register in the final days. The service scales to fit your event. From 80 to 2,500 attendees, the number of printing stations and consumables are sized according to the expected arrival flow. ## Setup and lead times Printer rental and delivery take just a few days. On-site setup is quick. Plug in the printer, load the paper, connect to the network, run a test. A station is operational in about twenty minutes. The only element that requires planning ahead is customised lanyards. Production takes around 10 working days, plus delivery time. If you opt for standard lanyards, they are available immediately with the kit. Have spare paper and ink on hand. Beyond 300 attendees, double the printing stations to maintain a fast flow. PassPass offers several levels of service depending on your needs. Equipment delivery only, or full support with badge design, installation and on-site assistance. The service is available in Belgium and neighbouring countries. **Planning to print badges for your event** Tell us about your event (date, number of attendees, venue) and we will propose the right package.

Badge printing is most useful from around 80 to 100 attendees, when managing pre-printed badges becomes time-consuming. For very small events, simple name stickers may be enough. **Do I need to use PassPass ticketing to print badges?** No. PassPass can print badges from an attendee list provided as a file. The integration is simply smoother if you also use the ticketing system, since data syncs automatically. If you use another ticketing platform, it's worth checking whether it has the right tools and connectors to streamline the badge printing workflow. **Can badges be printed for a multi-day event?** Yes. Badges can include validity dates, specific days, or access levels. They can be printed on first arrival and remain valid for the entire event. **What happens if a printer breaks down during the event?** PassPass always provides backup equipment on site. If a printer fails, it's replaced immediately so that attendee flow is never interrupted. **How much does on-site badge printing cost?** The price depends on the number of attendees, the badge format, and how many days the event lasts. Contact us for a personalised quote. **Does PassPass provide lanyards and badge holders?** Yes. PassPass can supply lanyards and badge holders, whether simple or customised to match your event's branding. These accessories are available on request and quoted separately.

Registration, payments, scanning, volunteers. You run an association or nonprofit and organize events. Dinners, galas, sports tournaments, shows, general assemblies. Until now, you've been juggling paper lists, manual bank transfers and Excel files. There's a simpler way to manage your registrations and ticket sales, without adding to your volunteers' workload. ## Why switch to online ticketing as an association Manual registration management works when you have 20 attendees. When you scale to 80, 150 or 300, it becomes a source of errors and wasted time. Who has paid, who hasn't. How many spots are left. Who's bringing a guest. For attendees, the traditional process is just as painful. Sending an email to register, copying an IBAN from a flyer to make a bank transfer, waiting for manual confirmation. With online ticketing, your members click a link or scan a QR code, and it's done in seconds. Registration and payment happen in one step, from their phone. For organizers, online ticketing solves concrete problems. You see in real time how many people are registered. You no longer need to manually verify payments, as they're processed automatically. You can email all your attendees in one click. And on event day, you scan entries instead of checking names off a list. For an association running on volunteers and a limited budget, that's a significant time saving for every event. ## Simple and fast registration for your attendees Using online ticketing means offering your attendees a modern and seamless experience. In 2-3 clicks, they choose their tickets, provide the minimum required information (first name, last name, email) and pay. No account to create, no password to remember. The buyer arrives on your page, selects their seats and completes registration in under a minute. If you need to collect additional information, you can create custom fields directly in the checkout flow. It works like a Google Form integrated into the purchase. Dropdowns, checkboxes, multiple choice, free text fields or conditions to accept. For example, asking for t-shirt size for a tournament, food allergies for a dinner, or accepting terms and conditions. The key is speed. Required data is kept to the bare minimum to avoid discouraging registration. You only add fields when the information is genuinely useful for your event. ## Your event page and automatic emails Each event gets its own online page, customizable with your cover image, texts and colors. It's the mini-website for your event, ready to share on social media, in newsletters or by email to your members. A contact button is built directly into the page. Visitors can ask the organizer questions without leaving the page. Useful when your members want to know if there are spots left, ask about the program or report a food allergy. As soon as someone registers, a confirmation email is sent automatically. This email contains the event details (date, time, address), direct access to their ticket with the option to add it to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, and a link to download the PDF. Your volunteers don't need to send anything manually. Every registrant receives a polished email with all practical information, without any action on your part. ## What it costs for an association Budget is a central concern for any association. The answer is straightforward. If your event is free (registration for an AGM, reserving a spot for a free show), you pay nothing. Zero fees, regardless of the number of registrants. If you sell paid tickets, a commission is charged on each sale. On PassPass, this commission is 2% + €0.60 per ticket, payment fees included. No monthly subscription, no sign-up fee, no fixed cost. You only pay when you sell. You can also choose to pass fees to the buyer. In that case, the attendee sees the ticket price and ticketing fees displayed separately, and you receive 100% of your ticket price. For a dinner at €25, the buyer pays €25 + €1.10 in fees, and you receive the full €25. Full details are available on our pricing page. ## The events that associations organize An association doesn't organize just one type of event. Your ticketing needs to adapt to very different formats throughout the year. Dinners and galas with different options (adult, child, vegetarian menu). Sports tournaments with team or individual registration. Shows with open seating. Flea markets with booth rental. General assemblies with free registration but need to know headcount. Workshops and courses with limited capacity. On the same event, you can offer paid and free tickets simultaneously. A gala with an adult ticket at €35, a child ticket at €15, and free entry for kitchen volunteers, all on the same event. ## Receiving your revenue, whatever your legal structure Associations come in different legal forms. Registered nonprofits, informal associations, individuals organizing on behalf of a group. All these structures can receive payouts from their ticket sales. No need for a dedicated business bank account. Your association's current account is sufficient. Payment methods available to your buyers cover both Belgian and international needs. Bancontact, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna. Everything is included in the commission, with no extra fees regardless of the payment method chosen by the buyer. If your association organizes events in multiple countries or welcomes an international audience, the event page can be configured in multiple languages. Your foreign attendees register in their own language, with the payment methods they use (Visa and Amex for attendees outside Belgium, for example). ## Managing your event with volunteers On event day, your volunteers don't need any technical training to manage check-in. The mobile scanning app works on any smartphone. No equipment to buy or rent. You can invite multiple team members to access the dashboard and scan entries. Everyone sees in real time how many people have entered and how many are still expected. The scan instantly verifies ticket validity and prevents duplicates. After the event, the treasurer can export the complete list of sales and registrations in CSV or Excel for the association's accounting. ## Invoicing for your association's B2B events If your association organizes professional events (conferences, training sessions, seminars), your attendees may request an invoice to justify the expense to their employer or accounting department. PassPass offers tools to facilitate the generation of invoices that comply with Peppol requirements, the electronic invoicing standard in force in Belgium. This is particularly relevant if your attendees are companies, freelancers or public bodies that require a structured invoice. More information on our Peppol billing page. For standard association events (dinner, gala, show), this usually doesn't apply, as your attendees are individuals. **Create your association's ticketing for free** Sign up in 2 minutes, no commitment.

If your association organizes an AGM, a free show or any event at €0, there are no fees at all. For paid tickets, a commission of 2% + €0.60 incl. VAT per ticket is charged, payment fees included. No subscription. **How to receive payments as a nonprofit** Revenue is automatically transferred to your association's bank account. No need for a business account, your nonprofit's current account is sufficient. Transfers are made after the event. **Do I need a business bank account to use online ticketing** No. PassPass accepts different legal structures (registered nonprofits, informal associations, individuals). The current account where you want to receive your revenue is sufficient, whether it's a business account or not. **How to manage free registrations for an association** Create a €0 ticket. Your attendees register online, receive a confirmation email with their ticket, and you have the complete list of registrants. No fees are charged on free tickets, even if other paid tickets exist on the same event. **Can I use online ticketing for an association dinner or gala** Yes. You can create multiple ticket types (adult, child, vegetarian menu) and add custom fields to collect the information you need (allergies, menu choice, number of guests). Attendees receive their confirmation immediately. **How to scan tickets on event day with volunteers** The mobile scanning app works on any smartphone. You invite your volunteers to your team, they download the app and can scan QR codes at the entrance. The system verifies ticket validity and prevents duplicates in real time. --- ## Free online ticketing, what it really means URL: https://pro.passpass.be/en/blog/free-online-ticketing Category: Guides Published: 2026-05-22 Tags: ticketing, pricing, free, commissions Looking for free online ticketing for your event? Before choosing, understand what "free" really means, how commissions work, and what options exist to control your costs. You're looking for free online ticketing for your event. Before you choose, it's worth understanding what "free" actually means in this context, how commissions are calculated, and what options exist to keep your costs under control. This article breaks down the pricing models of ticketing platforms and helps you make an informed choice. ## Free as in no subscription, or free as in no commission The word "free" covers two very different realities in the online ticketing world. The first is the absence of a subscription. Most platforms don't charge a monthly fee to create an account or publish an event. You pay nothing to sign up, and there's no financial barrier to entry. The second is the absence of commissions on sales. This is much rarer. As soon as a paid ticket is sold, a commission is taken from the transaction. This is the standard industry model, and it's also what allows platforms to fund the service (hosting, support, payment processing, development). The real question isn't "is it free" but rather "how much does it actually cost, and who pays". ## What ticketing commissions actually include When a platform advertises a commission of X% per ticket, that percentage doesn't go entirely into their pocket. It breaks down into several layers. Payment fees come first. Every transaction by credit card (Visa, Mastercard), Bancontact, Apple Pay or Google Pay generates fees imposed by banking networks and payment processors. These fees are non-negotiable. No platform can eliminate them. Then comes the platform margin. This is the compensation for the service provided: hosting your event page, sending tickets by email, the scanning app, the dashboard, support. The key thing to check is whether these two components are included in the displayed price or not. Some platforms advertise a low commission but exclude payment fees. You then discover an additional cost at payout that wasn't visible upfront. Other platforms include everything in a single rate. On PassPass for example, the 2% + €0.60 commission per ticket includes both payment fees and platform margin. You see the exact commission amount when creating your ticket, before even publishing your event. Full details are available on our pricing page. ## Passing fees to the buyer There's an option that more and more organizers use to pay nothing on ticketing commissions. The principle is simple: instead of deducting fees from the amount the organizer receives, the fees are displayed separately to the buyer at checkout. In practice, if you sell a ticket at €15, the buyer will see "€15 + €0.90 ticketing fee" at checkout. You receive the full €15. This model isn't unique to ticketing. Eventbrite applies this by default, with fees passed to the buyer unless the organizer chooses to absorb them. Ticketmaster charges service fees visible to the buyer on every transaction. Outside the events sector, Uber Eats and Deliveroo display delivery and service fees separately from the meal price. It's an increasingly common practice, but not universally appreciated by buyers. It's up to you to decide whether this model suits your audience and your event. The advantage is that as an organizer, you know exactly what you'll collect per ticket, with no surprises. ## Free tickets, zero fees for everyone When a ticket is free, there's no financial transaction, so no payment fees and no commission. Zero, in all cases. This doesn't only apply to entirely free events. Many paid events also include €0 tickets for specific cases. Children's tickets, companion tickets, volunteer or staff access, press invitations. A 100% discount promo code also generates a free ticket. Same for partner guest lists. On PassPass, only tickets that generate a paid transaction incur fees. A €0 ticket costs nothing, even when sold alongside paid tickets for the same event. The benefit of using a ticketing platform even for a free event is concrete: you know the number of registrations in advance, you scan entries on event day, and you can communicate by email with your attendees. ## How to configure your fees on PassPass For a free ticket, simply create a €0 ticket. No additional configuration needed. For a paid ticket, you set your price and the platform immediately shows you the commission breakdown. The amount varies depending on the ticket price, since payment fees are calculated as a percentage of the transaction. If you want fees to be paid by the buyer rather than deducted from your revenue, simply check the "Pass fees to the buyer" option. The buyer will then see your ticket price and the ticketing fees displayed separately. ## Which pricing model for which use case Three main models coexist in the online ticketing market. The subscription plus commission model. You pay a fixed monthly cost and commissions per ticket sold. The subscription almost never covers the ticketing fees themselves. Per-ticket commissions remain and are added to your monthly subscription. Some providers offer to reduce the commission percentage in exchange for a higher subscription. Before committing, calculate the actual total cost based on your sales volume (monthly subscription + commissions on all your tickets sold). The commission-only, all-inclusive model. No fixed cost. You only pay when you sell. Easier to forecast and risk-free if your event doesn't sell as many tickets as expected. The free model with limitations. Some platforms offer free access but limit the available features (customization, number of tickets, analytics, support). Advanced features become paid. Check what's actually included in the free tier before getting started.

On PassPass, an entirely free event generates no fees at all. For paid tickets, a commission is charged on each sale (2% + €0.60 incl. VAT, payment fees included). There is no subscription or sign-up fee. **What is the difference between payment fees and ticketing commission** Payment fees are imposed by banking networks (Visa, Mastercard, Bancontact) on every transaction. The ticketing commission is the platform's margin for the service provided. Some platforms separate the two, others include them in a single rate. On PassPass, everything is included in the displayed commission. **How to sell tickets online without paying commission** The most common method is to pass fees to the buyer. The buyer sees the ticket price and ticketing fees displayed separately, and the organizer receives 100% of their ticket price. On PassPass, it's just a checkbox when creating the ticket. **Do free tickets generate fees on PassPass** No. A €0 ticket generates no fees, even when offered alongside paid tickets for the same event. This includes children's tickets, 100% discount promo codes, guest lists, and companion tickets. **Does a monthly subscription eliminate ticketing commissions** Generally, no. On most platforms that offer a subscription, per-ticket commissions remain and are added to the monthly cost. Some providers reduce the commission percentage in exchange for a higher subscription, but the total cost (subscription + commissions) should be calculated based on your actual sales volume. **Which payment methods are included in PassPass fees** All of them. Visa, Mastercard, Bancontact, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna and American Express are all included in the 2% + €0.60 incl. VAT commission per ticket. No additional payment fees are charged, regardless of which payment method the buyer uses. --- ## How to create an event online URL: https://pro.passpass.be/en/blog/how-to-create-an-event-online Category: Guides Published: 2026-05-15 Tags: ticketing, guide, event-creation, organiser A practical guide to creating your event online. From planning to going live, every step explained to launch your ticketing quickly. You’re organising an event and want to take it online to sell tickets, manage registrations and deliver a smooth experience for your attendees. Whether it’s a concert, workshop, conference or festival, the creation process is the same. This article walks you through every step, from planning your event to the big day. - Define your event and what you need to prepare - Choose and set up your ticketing platform - Create an effective event page - Configure your ticket types and pricing - Publish and promote your event - Manage check-in and access control on the day ## Define your event before going online Before opening a ticketing tool, take the time to lock in the essentials. The clearer your choices at this stage, the faster the setup will go. Format and capacity. A 30-person workshop isn’t configured the same way as a 2,000-person festival. Define your maximum capacity, the number of ticket categories you’ll need and whether you’re planning seated, standing or mixed attendance. Venue and date. Confirm these details before publishing your event online. Many organisers start setting up their page before the venue is locked in, then have to make changes after publishing, which confuses buyers who already have their tickets. Budget and sales targets. How many tickets do you need to sell to cover your costs? What’s your target fill rate? These figures determine your pricing strategy and promotion timeline. ## Choose and set up your ticketing platform Your ticketing platform is the central tool for your online event. It handles the purchase flow, processes payments and centralises your sales data. PassPass lets you create your event in minutes. You fill in the basic information and the platform automatically generates your event page with a shareable sales link. No technical skills needed, the setup process is designed to be intuitive. Payment methods. Make sure your platform offers the payment methods your audience uses. In Belgium, Bancontact is essential. PassPass natively integrates Bancontact, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Klarna. Fees. Understand what each ticket sold will cost you before setting your prices. Transparent fees let you calculate your net revenue from the start, with no surprises when you withdraw your earnings. ## Create your event page Your event page is your storefront. It’s often the first point of contact between a potential attendee and your event, and it’s where they decide whether to buy. A quality visual. Invest time in a cover image that captures the atmosphere of your event. A polished visual builds trust and makes people want to click. If you use AI tools to generate your visuals, take the time to refine the output. A generic image or text that sounds artificial puts visitors off rather than convincing them. A clear, descriptive title. "Namur Electro Festival 2026" works. "NEF26" doesn’t. The title should stand on its own when someone sees it in a share or search result. A concrete description. Detail the programme, speakers or artists, and practical information. Exact venue with Google Maps link, times, access conditions. The more complete your page, the fewer questions you’ll receive and the more visitors you’ll convert into buyers. If it’s not your first edition, mention it. "3rd edition" or last year’s attendance figure reassures hesitant buyers. ## Configure your ticket types and pricing How you set up your tickets directly affects your sales. A few simple principles make the difference. Offer multiple categories. Even for a simple event, an early bird and a standard rate boost your revenue and create an initial wave of sales. For larger events, add VIP or group rates. Name your tickets clearly. "Standard ticket" says nothing. "Entry + 1 drink" or "2-day access" immediately explains what the attendee gets. Use scarcity and urgency. Limit the number of early bird tickets or set an end date. These are simple levers to configure on PassPass that directly impact your fill rate. Check how much you actually receive after fees are deducted. See PassPass pricing to simulate your net revenue before launching sales. ## Customise and publish your event Before making your event public, take the time to customise the experience and double-check everything. Colours and branding. On PassPass, you customise the colours and visuals of your event page so it matches your brand identity. If you have a website, you can also embed the PassPass sales module directly. Your visitors purchase without leaving your site, which reduces friction and strengthens your brand. Automatic emails. Your attendees receive a confirmation email after purchase with their ticket and QR code. Verify the information is complete and correct before launching sales. Final review. Open your page in preview mode. Check the title, description, pricing and sale dates. Run a test purchase if possible. A mistake caught before publishing saves you from embarrassing corrections after the first sales. Once everything checks out, publish your event. Your sales link is live and you can start sharing it. ## Promote your event online Publishing your event isn’t enough. Promotion is what fills your venue. Your direct network. Share the link in your WhatsApp groups, on your personal social accounts and in relevant local Facebook groups. Ask your co-organisers and speakers to share too. First sales almost always come from your direct network. The Facebook event. It generates automatic reminders and organic sharing. Add the sales link directly in the description. Instagram and social media. Post regular content in the weeks before the event. Stories with a link to your ticketing page convert well, especially in the final days before the event. Email. A dedicated email to your contact list converts better than a social media post. Send a reminder one week before sales close. For more on promotion strategies and tracking your sales by channel, read our guide on selling tickets online. **Ready to create your event online?** Set up your ticketing on PassPass in minutes.

After the event. You leave with your attendee list, sales statistics by category and channel. This is your foundation for preparing your next edition. Send a short satisfaction survey within 48 hours and you’ll have a complete picture of what worked and what can be improved. ### FAQ **How long does it take to create an event online** With PassPass, the basic setup takes just a few minutes.

The choice deserves careful consideration. Available payment methods. In Belgium, if your ticketing platform doesn't offer Bancontact, you'll lose a significant portion of your buyers. PassPass is one of the few modern ticketing platforms in Belgium to natively integrate Bancontact, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Klarna. The more payment options you offer, the fewer sales you lose at checkout. The simplicity of the purchase journey. Test it yourself before choosing. Go to the sales page of an existing event on the platform and try buying a ticket. If it takes more than 3 clicks or forces you to create an account before paying, your attendees will experience the same friction. Every extra step means more drop-offs. The real fees. Compare what you actually pay per ticket sold, VAT and payment fees included. Some platforms display a low percentage but add processing fees, buyer-side service charges, or paid options for basic features. PassPass relies on transparent pricing. Before even launching your sales, you know exactly how much each ticket sold will cost you, service and payment fees included. No hidden fees passed on to the buyer, no surprises when withdrawing your revenue to your bank account. The ability to grow with you. Your first event might be simple, but your needs will become clearer with experience. Choose a tool that lets you start quickly while offering room to grow. Sales analytics, connectors to your marketing tools, integration into your own website, campaign tracking. Better a tool that grows with you than having to migrate to another platform after a few events. PassPass puts professional tools in your hands without making things complicated. From your very first event, you automatically get a view of your sales by channel, the geographic origin of your buyers, and the performance of your promotion campaigns. Data that elsewhere requires manual configurations or third-party tools. The goal is simple: help you do more with less time and resources. ## Structuring your tickets and pricing Offer multiple ticket categories. Even for a simple event, having at minimum an early bird and a standard rate increases your revenue and creates initial sales momentum. For larger events, add a VIP or group rate. Name your tickets clearly. "Standard ticket" says nothing. "Entry + 1 drink" or "2-day access" gives a reason to buy because the attendee immediately understands what they're getting. Take the time to calculate your net price after deducting platform fees and taxes. If you need to recover €20 per ticket to cover your costs, check how much you actually receive. A tool with transparent fees lets you make this calculation from the start, with no unpleasant surprises at closing. Check the PassPass pricing to simulate your net revenue before launching your sales. Finally, think about mechanisms that create natural momentum. Limiting the number of early bird tickets, setting an online sales end date. These are simple levers to configure that have a direct impact on your fill rate. ## Creating an event page that makes people want to buy Your event page is often the first contact between a potential attendee and your event. It needs to answer three questions in under 10 seconds. What is it, when is it, where is it. The visual first. Invest time in a quality cover image. Use Canva or AI image generation tools if you don't have a designer, but take time to refine the result. We see more and more events with visuals and texts generated on the fly with AI, and it shows. A generic visual or a text that sounds artificial puts off visitors rather than convincing them. Put yourself in your audience's shoes and ask whether what you see would make you want to register. A precise title. Avoid cryptic titles or internal code names. "Electro Festival Namur 2026" works. "EFN26" doesn't. When someone shares the link, the title must speak for itself. Complete it with a concrete description of the programme, who will be there, what attendees will experience, and essential practical information: exact venue with Google Maps link, times, access, age policy if applicable. And if it's not your first edition, show it. "3rd edition" or the number of attendees from the previous year reassures hesitant buyers. ## Promoting your event and selling your tickets Having an online ticket sales page doesn't generate sales on its own. Promotion is what fills your event. And every channel you activate can be tracked in your dashboard to know exactly how many sales it brings in. Your direct network first. Before thinking about advertising, leverage what you already have. Share the sales link in your WhatsApp groups, on your personal social media, in relevant local Facebook groups. Ask your co-organisers and artists or speakers to share too. First sales almost always come from your direct network. The Facebook event. Even in 2026, the Facebook event remains a powerful lever for local events. It generates automatic reminders, enables organic sharing and provides free visibility. Include the sales link directly in the description and in the "Tickets" field. Instagram with intention. Post regular content in the weeks before the event. Not just the poster on repeat. Show behind the scenes, introduce artists or speakers, share feedback from previous editions. Stories with the link sticker to your ticketing convert well, especially in the 48 hours before the event. Email, the most underestimated channel. If you have a contact list, even a small one, send a dedicated email. Tools like Brevo are free up to 300 emails per day. A well-targeted email converts significantly better than a social media post. Remember to send a reminder one week before sales close. Paid advertising. A geographically targeted Instagram or Facebook Ads campaign focused on your city and surrounding area, even with a modest budget, can have a measurable impact. The advantage over paper advertising is that the return is directly quantifiable in your sales statistics. Partnerships and local relays. Contact local media, online cultural calendars, local accounts with an engaged audience. Offer tickets or preferential rates in exchange for visibility. A post from a local account followed by your target audience is often worth more than a generic ad. **Ready to sell your first tickets online?** Create your event on PassPass in minutes.

The essential question remains: which ones actually bring in sales? Most organisers spend time on Instagram, send emails, maybe launch an ad, without ever knowing which channel actually filled their venue. Tracking your sales by source changes that. How it works. You create a different sales link for each promotion channel. One for your newsletter, one for your Instagram story, one for your Facebook ad. In your dashboard, you then see that your newsletter brought 20 sales, your Instagram ad 130, and your Facebook post 45. What it actually changes. You spent €80 on Instagram advertising and €80 on Facebook advertising. Instagram generated 130 tickets sold, Facebook 12. For your next event, you know exactly where to focus your budget. It's the difference between "I think Instagram works well" and the numbers that prove it. Beyond channels, geographic data shows you where your buyers come from by city or region. You identify areas where your communication is effective and those with untapped potential. And by observing your sales curve day by day, you spot actionable trends: sales accelerate after each post, stagnate mid-week and spike in the last 48 hours. PassPass integrates these tracking tools natively. You visualise the source of each sale, the geographic origin of your buyers and the evolution of your sales in real time. No third-party tools to configure, no tracking code to install. ## Connecting your tools to go further One of the concrete advantages of selling tickets online with a modern platform is the ability to connect your tools together. If you have a website, you can directly integrate the PassPass ticket sales module. Your visitors buy without leaving your site, which reduces friction and strengthens your brand. Then connect your ticketing to Brevo, Mailchimp or another email tool to automate your communications: personalised purchase confirmation, 7-day reminder, post-event email. These automations are configured once and save you hours on each event. If you run online advertising, the Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics allow you to precisely measure the return on investment of every euro spent and create lookalike audiences based on your existing buyers. The idea isn't to activate everything from the first event. Start by selling your tickets. For the next event, add source tracking. Then connect your email tool. Each step makes your organisation more efficient, without ever becoming complicated. ## Event day and post-event Access control is the last link in the chain. Each ticket sold online contains a unique QR code that you scan with the PassPass app on any smartphone. No more paper lists, no more queues at the entrance. During the event, you track in real time how many people have entered, how many tickets haven't been scanned yet, and your no-show rate. An attendee lost their ticket? They can find it in their inbox or in their wallet. A buyer wants to transfer their ticket? It's doable in a few clicks depending on your configuration. After the event, you leave with actionable data. Your attendee list is your qualified audience for your next events. Your sales statistics by category, promotion channel and time period give you a concrete basis for improving your next edition. Send a short satisfaction survey within 48 hours (two or three questions are enough) and you'll have a complete picture of what worked and what can be improved. ### FAQ **Can I sell tickets online without a website** Yes.

In Belgium, choosing an online ticketing platform comes down to concrete criteria. Pricing and transparency, local payment methods (Bancontact is essential), support languages, ease of use. The market is dominated by international platforms created nearly 20 years ago. Eventbrite (United States, 2006), Weezevent (France, 2008), Ticketmaster (United States, large events). In response, local alternatives have emerged to better address the Belgian market’s specific needs, particularly around European payment methods (Bancontact, iDEAL, Klarna) and multilingual support. PassPass is one of these alternatives. A Belgian ticketing platform launched in 2024, it offers 2% + €0.60 incl. VAT per ticket (no subscription), human support in French, Dutch and English, and a modern interface covering the complete cycle.

Sign up in 2 minutes, no commitment. ## Why organisers switch ticketing platforms ### The problem you already know, or want to avoid You have probably experienced this frustration before. Spending hours configuring a complicated ticketing system, discovering hidden fees at invoicing time, or waiting days for a response from tech support that is becoming less and less human. Some traditional giants impose their constraints. Dated interfaces that require time to learn, registration processes that cause your attendees to drop off halfway through, opaque pricing where fees pile up, rare updates and features that stagnate. This is precisely why more and more organisers in Belgium are looking for an alternative. Not necessarily a tool with more features, but one that works well, is pleasant to use and evolves with their needs.
