EVENTIM.Light is useful for German organizers that want their own ticket shop with the option to add EVENTIM distribution. The public fee formula is clear, but network sales cost extra and disconnected scanning needs a deliberate preparation and multi-entrance plan.
The EVENTIM network adds 10% of the base ticket price beyond the direct-shop fee. Buyer booking or shipping charges can also arise through network channels.
App setup must be online within 30 days before the event; ticket downloads begin 12 hours before its start. Offline use needs a final download after sales close. Disconnected devices do not share already-scanned status, creating a duplicate-entry risk across entrances.
Seating/location settings and the chosen allocation of ticketing fees cannot simply be changed after publication. Review the final setup before going live.
Marking an event Finished starts settlement within the published five-working-day process and stops further bookings or cancellations. Claims can affect a cancelled or rescheduled event's settlement.
| Plan | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Direct shop — base price up to €6.99 | 3.5% + €0.49 per ticket | German tariff; published charge includes payment fees and tax. |
| Direct shop — base price from €7 | 3.5% + €0.99 per ticket | German tariff; no setup or fixed charge advertised. |
| EVENTIM distribution network | Additional 10% of base ticket price | Applies to network sales. Separate buyer booking or shipping charges may arise in those channels. |
EVENTIM.Light provides a direct ticket shop with an optional route into a larger distribution network. The commercial comparison should distinguish tickets sold in the organizer shop from those sold through EVENTIM channels.
Offline admission is documented, but it depends on advance setup and downloading the ticket list close to the event. Rehearse multiple entrances carefully because disconnected devices do not share their scanned-ticket status.
