Want help getting set up?

Eventim USA is the former See Tickets US. CTS Eventim's acquisition of See Tickets Global closed in June 2024, and the US rebrand to Eventim followed in March 2025. It is a full-service ticketing, logistics, and marketing operation for independent venues, promoters, and festivals. That includes a dedicated account team, an event-creation workflow for venues, a web-based box office, and a no-contract self-service tier for smaller general-admission shows that pays out through Stripe. Rates are quoted rather than published, and the self-service tier is capped by volume. BANDANA tix publishes one number: a flat 25 cents per ticket. There is no volume ceiling and no sales call to learn the price, and the ticket page is built from what the bands already submitted in the advance. The other difference is where the work happens. Their client tooling is described as web-based, with door scanning handled by scanner apps. BANDANA's native iOS app carries the pre-show work — booking, advancing, and publishing tickets — on a phone, and leaves the door alone. Android and desktop run the BANDANA web app, which does everything the iOS app does except offline reading.
