A simpler, lower-cost ticketing platform built for independent organizers. No monthly fees, transparent per-ticket pricing, a free scanner app, and real human support.
Plenty of organizers outgrow the big platforms for the same reasons: fees that are hard to predict, slow payouts, limited branding, and support that never picks up. Hambax keeps ticketing simple and affordable so you keep more of your revenue and stay in control of your event.
You never pay a subscription. There are no setup costs and no charges for free events — you only pay when you actually sell a ticket.
A flat 2.5% + €0.55 per sold ticket. No surprise service fees stacked on at checkout, no tiered plans to decode.
A free offline iOS and Android scanner app comes with every account — no add-ons, no separate hardware to rent.
From a 30-person workshop to a 1,500-person festival. No minimums, no pressure to upgrade.
Reach our team directly by email and chat — especially around your event dates. Not a chatbot maze.

A useful Eventbrite alternative page should not claim that every organizer needs the same platform. Instead, it should help organizers compare the parts that affect their event: total fees, checkout clarity, payouts, ticket delivery, scanner workflow, support, and whether free events remain free.
Hambax is positioned for independent organizers who want a simpler ticketing workflow with transparent per-ticket pricing. The right comparison is therefore not only feature count, but whether the platform helps a small team publish, sell, get paid, and scan guests without extra operational overhead.
Fees are one of the most common reasons organizers compare ticketing platforms. A platform can look affordable at first and still become expensive when buyer fees, organizer fees, paid add-ons, or monthly plans are added to the real event cost.
Hambax uses no monthly subscription and a transparent fee of 2.5% + EUR 0.55 per sold paid ticket. Free events cost nothing. That makes it easier for organizers to model revenue before launch and decide whether they or buyers should cover the fee.
Many organizers compare ticketing platforms mainly at checkout, but the event is judged again at the door. If the check-in process is slow, confusing, or dependent on paper lists, the buyer experience suffers after the sale has already happened.
Hambax includes the scanner app in the ticketing workflow. That means online tickets, email delivery, QR-code validation, and duplicate prevention are part of the same system rather than separate tools that the organizer has to connect on event day.
Hambax is a strong fit when the event needs quick setup, online ticket sales, QR-code tickets, mobile scanning, direct support, and predictable pricing. It is especially relevant for workshops, club nights, concerts, cultural events, pop-up markets, small festivals, associations, and recurring independent event series.
It may not be the right platform for every event. Organizers who need complex reserved seating, large conference badge printing, advanced sponsor lead retrieval, or deep enterprise integrations should compare tools built for those workflows. Hambax focuses on the core sales and entrance flow.
Hambax charges a flat 2.5% + €0.55 per sold ticket with no monthly subscription and no extra service fees. On most ticket prices that works out lower and far more predictable.
