Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Weezevent is a French event technology provider that has operated its ticketing service since 2008. Its core product lets organizers create and launch an online ticketing or registration page, customize the associated event mini-site, e-tickets, badges and confirmation e-mails without technical skills, embed a ticketing module into their own website, and monitor sales and registrations in real time. Configuration options include price categories and quotas, premium personalization of ticket formats (e-tickets, passbook, thermal tickets), and generation of badges and accreditations for participants, volunteers and artists.

Around the ticketing core, the company markets a suite of complementary modules: weezaccess for ticket and access-rights control using paper, a mobile application or professional hardware, with online and offline operation; weezpay for cashless payments via mobile terminals; weezcrew for managing volunteers, staff and accredited populations, mission assignment, access rights and automated processes; and weeztarget for marketing and CRM, covering contact segmentation, e-mail, SMS and push campaigns, and performance tracking. The offering is positioned for events ranging from a 10-person workshop to a 10,000-attendee concert, across sectors including leisure activities, workshops and classes, concerts and shows, conferences and seminars, virtual events, festivals, food and catering, sports events, trade shows and exhibitions, parties and clubs, stadiums and sports clubs, and tourism and parks. Customer support is presented as available by phone and e-mail seven days a week, alongside an online help center.

Business model

Weezevent sells self-service event ticketing and registration to organizers, complemented by paid modules for access control, cashless payment, staff and accreditation management, and marketing/CRM.
