The Skeptic

Weighted verdict

Has seen "free for free events" turn into a fee on every paid ticket that buyers blame the organiser for, payouts held until a week after the show, and a platform that emails the organiser's audience about a rival's concert. Reads "your data belongs to you" next to buyer accounts on the platform's own app, and an export that stops at names and emails — and asks what leaving would cost.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Ticket shop, checkout & registration

How this is scored

How a ticket or a registration is sold: ticket types and categories, member and early-bird prices, discount codes, bundles and add-ons, a shop embeddable on the organiser's own website or under its own domain, custom questions per ticket and per attendee, group and company bookings, capacity limits and waiting lists, reserved seating with a seating plan, recurring dates and course series, several languages, and an accessible mobile checkout.

0 — Not a ticketing or registration tool; tickets cannot be sold and registrations cannot be taken in the product.

3 — An event page on the platform with a few ticket types and a fixed sign-up form; embedding, custom questions, capacity rules or seating are basic or not described.

5 — Several ticket types with prices, quotas and sale periods, discount codes, custom questions per attendee, a shop embeddable on the organiser's website as a widget or link, capacity limits with a waiting list, and a checkout that works on a phone.

8 — A white-label shop under the organiser's own domain and design, reserved seating with a seating-plan editor, add-ons and bundles, group and company bookings with several attendees per order, conditional questions, member prices by code or login, recurring dates and course series, several languages, and the checkout's accessibility stated.

10 — A shop that fits any event: multi-event and season tickets, timed entry and seat holds, a checkout that the organiser can extend (API, custom fields synced to a CRM), an accessibility conformance statement (WCAG level named), and the conversion and drop-off of the checkout reported to the organiser.

Report an error

The Skeptic

Seating plans, early-bird and blind-bird tickets, drop sales with automatic release of the next contingent, promo codes and member discounts at the checkout, buyer questions collecting names, addresses and photos, and a widget that completes the purchase on the organiser's own website without a redirect, with the Billetto branding removable and the checkout language adjustable per market. We found no public information on a shop under the organiser's own domain, on conditional questions, or on an accessibility statement for the checkout. 2 7 9 10

Payments, payouts, fees & refunds

How this is scored

How the money moves: payment methods offered to buyers (cards, PayPal, SEPA direct debit, invoice, local methods), whether the organiser connects its own payment account or the platform collects as merchant of record, when the revenue is paid out (continuously, before the event, or after it), the per-ticket and payment fees and whether they can be passed on to the buyer, refunds of single tickets and of a cancelled event, ticket transfer and resale, and chargebacks.

0 — No payment of any kind; the product only collects free registrations.

3 — Online card payment through the platform; payout timing, fee model, refunds or buyer-paid fees are basic or not described.

5 — Several payment methods including cards and PayPal or SEPA, the fee per ticket stated with the option to pass it to the buyer, the payout schedule stated, and refunds of single orders and of a cancelled event issued from the product.

8 — A choice between the organiser's own payment account (Stripe, PayPal, Mollie or similar) and platform collection, payouts before the event stated with their conditions, invoice and bank transfer for business buyers, partial refunds and refund policies set per event, ticket transfer or resale by buyers, and chargeback handling explained.

10 — Full control of the money: the merchant of record named for each set-up, payout timing and any reserve held published, every fee itemised per order, refunds, transfers and resale with the organiser's rules enforced, and the cancellation process for an event documented end to end.

Report an error

The Skeptic

Buyers pay by card, PayPal, Klarna, Apple Pay, Google Pay and local methods through a long list of providers; the fee is 3,99 % + €0,90 pro Ticket plus VAT, borne by the buyer or absorbed by the organiser; payouts run twice a week with advance payout at a standard transaction fee of 1 % plus VAT; single tickets can be resent, refunded or reassigned and a cancelled event is refunded to the buyer minus the Billetto fee. All money is nonetheless collected by Billetto via third-party payment providers under its Merchant Agreement — we found no public information on the organiser connecting its own payment account, invoice payment for business buyers, chargeback handling or partial refunds. 8 11 12 3 7

VAT, invoices & accounting handoff

How this is scored

How ticket revenue reaches the books correctly: the VAT rate set per ticket or product (reduced rates for concerts and culture, exemptions for education and seminars), gross and net prices shown, invoices to buyers in the organiser's name with consecutive numbers, business buyers with company name and VAT ID, reverse charge for cross-border events, cancellation invoices and credit notes, the platform's own fee invoice, e-invoicing, and exports to DATEV or named accounting systems.

0 — No receipts or invoices; the organiser has to produce every invoice outside the product.

3 — An order confirmation or simple receipt per booking; VAT rates, invoices in the organiser's name, business buyers or accounting exports are basic or not described.

5 — VAT rate configurable per ticket, invoices generated in the organiser's name with its tax details and consecutive numbers, company name and address captured for business buyers, cancellation invoices on refund, and a sales export as CSV or to at least one named accounting system.

8 — Several VAT rates in one order, net prices for business buyers, VAT IDs validated and reverse charge applied, e-invoices (XRechnung or ZUGFeRD) for public and business buyers, a DATEV export with booking data, the platform's fee invoice separated from ticket revenue, and whether the platform sells as agent or in its own name stated.

10 — Tax handled per country: VAT rules for events in several EU countries documented with the place of supply, invoices and credit notes stated as compliant with national invoice law, a reconciliation of payouts, fees and ticket revenue per event, and a GoBD-compliant archive or audit export.

Report an error

The Skeptic

There is a real accounting handoff: an accounting report with revenue by ticket type, add-ons, several VAT rates and sales channels, transaction reports daily through per-order, a payout receipt breaking down revenue and fees, accountant access, and exportable data with reconciliation tools feeding a financial reporting platform that is left unnamed. On invoices we found no public information on invoices in the organiser's name with consecutive numbers, company name and VAT ID for business buyers, reverse charge, credit notes, e-invoices, or an export to a named accounting system such as DATEV. 11 12 5 8

Check-in, badges & on-site sales

How this is scored

What happens at the door: a check-in app that scans tickets on phones or scanners, offline scanning and several devices at once, entrances and time slots, check-in lists by name, badge printing with attendee data and QR code, box office and on-site sales with card terminals, walk-in registration, session and room check-in at conferences, attendance certificates, and live attendance figures.

0 — No check-in; tickets cannot be validated at the event.

3 — Tickets with a QR code and a guest list to tick off by hand or in a simple app; offline use, several devices, badges or on-site sales are basic or not described.

5 — A free check-in app for iOS and Android that scans tickets on several devices at once, works offline and syncs, a searchable guest list, and live check-in numbers in the dashboard.

8 — Badge printing with attendee data and QR codes, access rules per entrance, session or day, box office sales on site with a named card terminal, walk-in registration, dedicated scanner hardware supported or rented, and attendance certificates for courses.

10 — On-site operations at scale: self-service kiosks or turnstile integration, session check-in feeding continuing-education credits, cashless or on-site payments reconciled with online sales, and the hardware, offline limits and failover documented.

Report an error

The Skeptic

A scanner ecosystem is documented: an all-in-one iOS app plus Android organiser and scanner apps, Billetto's own scanners for larger events, high-speed professional scanners for festivals, real-time searchable guest lists, a scan-in tracker showing arrivals in total, per ticket type and per entrance with a remaining count, and zone-, role- and permission-based access control for large venues. We found no public information on offline scanning, several devices scanning at once, badge printing, box-office or on-site sales with a card terminal, or attendance certificates. 13 4 6 8 7

Attendee data & the customer relationship

How this is scored

Who the ticket buyer belongs to: whether the organiser is the controller of attendee data and the platform its processor, or the platform a controller in its own right; whether buyers must create an account on the platform; whether the platform markets other events to the organiser's buyers or lists the event on its own marketplace; consent for the organiser's newsletter collected in the checkout; messages to attendees; attendee data exportable at any time; and deletion and anonymisation after the event.

0 — The organiser receives no attendee data at all; the platform keeps the buyer relationship entirely.

3 — A guest list visible to the organiser; who is controller, the platform's own marketing to buyers, export or deletion are basic or not described.

5 — Attendee data exportable by the organiser at any time, the organiser named as controller with a data processing agreement offered, buyers able to book without a platform account, newsletter consent for the organiser collectable in the checkout, and messages to attendees from the product.

8 — A white-label set-up in which buyers see only the organiser, the platform stated not to market other events to the organiser's buyers (or the opt-out explained), the platform's marketplace listing optional, deletion and anonymisation of attendee data after the event configurable, and attendee data synced to a named CRM or via API and webhooks.

10 — The organiser owns the relationship and can prove it: the controller and processor roles documented for every data flow, no platform account or platform marketing by default, retention set per event and enforced, and a complete export of orders, attendees and answers that a successor tool can import.

Report an error

The Skeptic

The organiser does receive the personal data buyers enter, with guest lists and order dashboards to manage it — but Billetto creates an account for every buyer at purchase, that account comes with a public profile unless the buyer opts out, and an AI solution generates recommendations shown to those users on Billetto's website and in emails, while events are promoted on a geo-based map to audiences the organiser does not already reach. We found no public information on attendee-data export, deletion or anonymisation after an event, controller and processor roles with a data processing agreement, or newsletter consent collected in the checkout. 8 7 3

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where attendee, order and payment data are hosted, and who the subprocessors are (hosting, payment providers, email delivery, analytics, support). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; attendee lists show who goes where and when, and a conference list holds names, employers and dietary or accessibility answers, so the whole chain counts, not only the database.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no data processing agreement offered.

3 — A privacy policy and a data processing agreement exist, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the subprocessors are not listed.

5 — EU hosting available and an EU contracting entity or EU representative, but parts of the chain (payments, email, analytics, support) run through non-EU providers without a stated safeguard.

8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessors listed with their locations, a data processing agreement published, and security certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2) stated.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting and every subprocessor, a self-hosted or on-premises option or data export and deletion documented, and certifications published with their scope rather than implied.

Report an error

The Skeptic

The contracting entity for German and Austrian organisers is Billetto ApS in Copenhagen with company registration number DK32569080, and separate entities are named for the Norwegian, Swedish and UK domains — a European contracting chain, on paper. Beyond that we found no public information on where attendee, order and payment data are hosted, on the parent or ownership, on a subprocessor list, on a data processing agreement, or on security certifications; named payment integrations are not a substitute for a disclosed chain. 8 4 2

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

How this is scored

Whether an organiser can compute the real cost of an event from public pages alone: the fee per ticket or per registration (fixed, percentage or both), payment processing fees, whether fees are charged to the organiser or added to the buyer's price, free events, subscriptions or credit packs, payout and refund fees, add-ons (seating, white label, badges, box office), hardware rental, minimums and term, and VAT on the fees.

0 — No public prices at all; every organiser is a sales call.

3 — A starting price or "free for free events" exists, but the fee for paid tickets, payment fees or who pays them is unclear.

5 — The fee per ticket and the payment processing fees are public with the main inclusions, but at least one commonly needed piece (refund fees, white label, seating, box office, hardware) is unpriced or "on request".

8 — Every fee published with its rule (per ticket, percentage, cap), the share paid by buyer and organiser stated, add-ons and hardware priced, payout and refund fees listed, and VAT treatment of the fees stated.

10 — Complete price computability: the cost of an event derivable for a given ticket price, ticket count and payment mix, with every add-on, hardware, support and payout fee and the cancellation and data-return terms published.

Report an error

The Skeptic

The standard tariff is published as 3,99 % + €0,90 pro Ticket, zzgl. MwSt., with no monthly fee and no setup costs, the choice of buyer-pays or organiser-absorbs is stated, payouts twice a week are stated, and advance payout costs a standard transaction fee of 1 % plus VAT, with advertising billed only when a ticket sells. Above 1,000 tickets a year the price becomes "3,99 % + €0,90 pro Ticket oder weniger" — custom pricing — and we found no public information on separately itemised payment processing fees, refund fees, or prices for scanner hardware, branding removal or seating. 7 11 8
