Event Ticketing Platform
Choose a ticketing platform by what it does before, at and after the sale
An event ticketing platform sells tickets, takes payment, delivers the ticket and gets the buyer through the door. The platforms differ in the details, so it helps to compare them on the same questions: which ticket types, which payment gateways, what the platform charges, how tickets are checked in, and what you can see afterward.
Eventdex's ticketing pages answer each of those, and this page lines them up. Eventdex describes its ticketing as 0% commission, covering free, paid and donation tickets, with digital tickets that carry QR codes. Where its pages give no figure, such as a price or a free plan, this page gives none either.

What to know before you choose
Tickets sit inside event management
The ticketing page presents ticketing, analytics, marketing and onsite management as one tool, rather than ticketing as a separate service from registration.
Branded ticket pages
A site builder makes event pages with your logo, banners and brand colors, and the zero-commission page says ticket pages and emails can be branded.
In person, virtual and hybrid
The pages say the ticketing works for in-person, virtual and hybrid events, from conferences and gala dinners to festivals and workshops.
Sales visible as they happen
Real-time dashboards track ticket sales, attendee demographics and revenue, according to the ticketing pages.
Free tickets and free software are different
Free tickets are supported. Eventdex's pages give no prices and describe no free plan, so ask for a quote if you are comparing against free ticketing tools.
What the pages do not say
They do not say whether gateway processing fees apply, give uptime or volume figures, or list supported currencies. Ask in a demo before you rely on any of them.

FAQ
Event Ticketing Platform: common questions
What is an event ticketing platform?
Software that sells and delivers event tickets, takes payment and helps check people in. Eventdex's ticketing page describes it as software for managing ticket sales, registration and onsite check-in for in-person and virtual events.
How do I choose the best ticketing platform for my event?
Compare platforms on the same points: ticket types you need, payment gateways, commission and fees, delivery and check-in, reports and integrations. The checklist above shows what Eventdex's pages say on each. Best depends on your event, and the pages make no ranking claim against other platforms.
Is there a free event ticketing platform?
Eventdex supports free tickets, and it describes 0% commission ticketing, but its pages give no prices and describe no free plan. Ask for a quote. Also check the rates of the payment gateway you connect, since the pages do not say whether gateway fees apply.
How do attendees receive their tickets?
The ticketing page says digital tickets are sent by email or SMS and include QR codes, and the zero-commission page says confirmations are sent instantly after purchase. Attendees can buy and manage tickets on phones or tablets.
Does it suit large and small events?
The ticketing page says it is designed to handle events of any size and supports high ticket volumes. It gives no figures to back that up, so if you expect a very large sale, ask in a demo how it has handled similar volumes.
Can I handle sold-out events?
The zero-commission page says organizers can create unlimited ticket types and handle waitlists for oversubscribed events. It does not describe how the waitlist works, so ask in a demo.
