Selling tickets without an intermediary
Your own price, your own visitors, your own revenue
Hiring a ticket agency often means: giving up a percentage of every ticket, service fees that your visitors pay but for which you are held accountable, and a visitor database that isn't yours. Selling it yourself works just as well — and keeps control where it belongs.
This is how selling tickets online without a ticket agency works: steps, costs, and features.
What you keep in your own hands
Your pricing
You determine the ticket price, the discounts, and whether you pass on the service fees or bear them yourself.
Your visitor data
The participant list is in your dashboard and can be exported. We do not email your audience.
Your appearance
Your own logo, color, and photo on your sales page and on your visitors' e-tickets.
Your yield
Ticket revenue is automatically paid out to your own account, with a comprehensive overview per event.
Intermediary or selling yourself
| Classic ticket agency | Sell yourself via Kaartjie | |
|---|---|---|
| Costs | Percentage of the ticket price, often plus fixed service fees | Fixed amount: €0.80 per paid ticket |
| Subscription | Regular monthly or annual fee | No subscription, no setup costs |
| Pricing | Often subject to consultation or conditions | Entirely your choice |
| Visitor data | Managed by the intermediary | In your dashboard, exportable |
| Put live | Request, quotation, lead time | Create it yourself, live within fifteen minutes |
What you don't have to build yourself
- A sales page with iDEAL payment and automatic confirmation
- E-tickets with unique QR code, delivered by email
- A QR scanner for the door, without an app or rental hardware
- Capacity monitoring, discount codes, and multiple ticket types
- Invoicing, VAT handling and payment of your proceeds
Do the math
For 300 tickets at €20, you pay €240 in service fees via Kaartjie . An intermediary charging 8 percent comes to €480 — and that increases as your ticket price rises.
