Eventbrite sells the ticket. Weeknights builds the club.
One 5% fee with card costs included, payouts into your own Stripe 48 hours after the event, and first-timers who turn into regulars.
Why clubs choose Weeknights over Eventbrite
Selling the ticket is the easy part. Weeknights is built for what happens after: the same people coming back, and bringing others with them.

Weeknights · 5%, card costs included
5% on paid tickets, with card costs included. Small orders have a minimum fee of €0.30 + 1.9% to cover card costs. Free events are always free, and there is no subscription.
Eventbrite · 2% + €0.49 or 4% + €0.99 per ticket
In the Netherlands Eventbrite lists two packages: Essentials (2% + €0.49 per ticket, or €0.49 under €10.01) and Professional (4% + €0.99, or €0.99 under €10.01). No separate card fee is listed. By default the fee is added on top for the buyer, and Eventbrite adds VAT to its fee unless you give a VAT number.
Regulars
First-timers become regulars
Everyone who comes can subscribe to your club and hears about every new event. Your regulars show on your events, so newcomers know it's a real crowd.
- A club page people follow, not a one-off event page
- Message an event's guests or post to subscribers, by email
- Free to set up, nothing to cancel
