Full control over cash flow and 100% of your revenue deposited into your account
Do you bear the full financial risk for your productions, yet have to wait weeks for your ticket sales to be paid out? At the same time, percentage-based exorbitant fees are eating into your valuable cultural budget? If you’re looking for a real alternative to Eventim for clubs or a Reservix alternative for your cultural organization that ensures your venue’s independence, you’ve come to the right place.
The Burden of Large Commercial Portals
Large, commercially operated ticketing service providers typically retain between 5% and 15% of your gross revenue as service fees. Worse still: Your funds are often not paid out until weeks after the actual event. This ties up your cash flow for ongoing expenses such as GEMA fees, rent, equipment, or artist fees. You also lose control over your valuable audience data.
The YesTicket Collaborative Approach
As colleagues in the theater world, we believe that ticketing should be in the hands of the artists themselves. With YesTicket, you can use a highly professional ticketing system with no fees in the traditional sense. Every booking made by your audience members goes directly into your own organization’s bank account or PayPal account in real time. No waiting periods, no hidden deductions—100% of your money belongs to you from the very first second.
Immediate liquidity and complete financial independence
Culture needs financial predictability. While large platforms withhold revenue as a safety net, with YesTicket you receive direct advance payments from your audience. The money goes straight into your account. This gives you the foundation you need to accurately and easily plan for purchases and the dreaded summer slump.
Have everything under your own control. That's what the Erthal Theater in Aschaffenburg values most: having full control over its own finances and cash flow in real time.
Direct Payment
No middlemen. When a booking is made, the proceeds go directly to your cultural association’s bank account without any detours.
Data Sovereignty for Sustainable Growth and Audience Retention
Commercial providers often use your viewers’ data to run ads for other events. With us, the customer base belongs to you. You retain full control over the data, allowing you to reach your audience in a legally compliant manner via the newsletter interface (double opt-in), gather valuable feedback, and build a loyal customer base.
75% of the regular audience has been built up: By consistently leveraging data and community tools, the founders of YesTicket have positioned their own improv school for the future, rather than wasting money on ineffective print advertising.
