Custom ticketing
for organizers
who refuse to pay
fees on every ticket.
Your brand from search to checkout. Your customer data, owned and actionable. Custom pricing, capacity, scanning, and access control, designed for your operation. The system pays for itself on your next event.
The cost of selling tickets elsewhere.
Every ticket you sell through Eventbrite, Ticketmaster, or Paylogic carries a fee. Three percent here. Seven percent there. Ten percent sometimes. At €500,000 in ticket sales, those fees are €15,000 to €50,000 — direct margin you never see.
The fees are not the only cost. Your ticket buyer spends more time on the platform’s site than on yours. Your customer data sits in someone else’s database. Your branding is constrained. Marketing your next event to past attendees requires their tools, their rules, their export limits.
When the platform changes its terms, you adapt. You do not negotiate.
End-to-end ticketing on your domain, in your design, with your payment processor. Pay for the infrastructure once; sell tickets forever without per-transaction platform fees. The math pays for itself on your next event.
Sales, capacity, communication, scanning, access control, refunds, all in one custom-built system designed for how your event actually runs. One infrastructure instead of five integrated platforms.
Every transaction, every interaction, every preference, stored in your database, accessible via API, exportable in any format. Segment, re-engage, build lifetime value across events and seasons.
Tiered pricing, member pre-sales, complex bundling, time-slot management, multi-event seasonality, dynamic capacity. All built into the foundation, not as workarounds on a generic platform. Logic designed for your specific operation.
The engagement.
Every engagement begins with an application. We respond within three business days with an invitation to conversation or a considered decline.
The build takes fourteen days from kickoff to productive launch. Ticketing live, payment processor integrated, scanning ready for your first event. We align launch with your on-sale calendar so the system is ready when you go on sale. Advanced access control, multi-event seasonality, sponsor and partner flows, and deeper marketing automation continue as partnership work in the weeks that follow.
The fourteen days after launch are included stabilization. Fixes, refinements, and adjustments based on real ticket sales and real event-day operations, at no additional cost. Day fourteen launches the system; day twenty-eight validates it against actual use.
Migration approach depends on your operating model. For seasonal or incidental organizers (festivals, annual conferences, periodic events with a clear gap between sales cycles), your next event’s on-sale runs on the new system. Historical attendee data is exported where the prior platform’s export permits; that is typically partial, by design of the platforms. For continuous-operation operators (venues running weekly events, conference series with monthly cadence, recurring programs without a natural between-event window), we run the new system in parallel with your current platform until you are comfortable to cut over. No forced cutover, no on-sale risk.
After that, you enter an ongoing partnership at one of two tiers. Setup investment typically ranges from €10,000 to €15,000, slightly above standard due to the operational depth required. Specific pricing is discussed in the intake conversation, with explicit math on payback timeline based on your typical event volume.
The ecosystem.
Altum integrates with the systems that make your event operations work. Common integrations include:
- Payments
- Stripe, Mollie, Adyen, Klarna, iDEAL, or your processor of choice.
- Scanning hardware
- Mobile scanners, dedicated scanner hardware (Zebra, Honeywell), wristband and RFID integration.
- Marketing
- Klaviyo, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, or our native AI marketing engine for integrated segmentation and campaigns.
- Communication
- Email, SMS, WhatsApp Business, push notifications.
- Streaming (hybrid events)
- Vimeo, Brightcove, custom integrations.
- Analytics
- Real-time event-day dashboards, sales velocity tracking, customer cohort analysis.
Any system with an API can be integrated. Anything proprietary is built as part of your engagement.
Who we work with.
Altum serves three types of operators in this niche: independent event organizers selling 10,000+ tickets per year, venues operating multiple events per week, and custom experience operators whose booking logic standard platforms cannot handle.
The common threshold is volume or complexity sufficient to justify infrastructure investment. For organizers and venues, that often means annual platform fees of €10,000 or more. For custom experience operators, it means a booking model that standard platforms cannot accommodate.
We accept a limited number of engagements per quarter. We work primarily with operators in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and the UK at launch; other European markets case by case.
