Vereinsticket

What Vereinsticket does

Vereinsticket is a cloud-based ticketing and club management SaaS platform operated by Total Fansports GmbH, headquartered in Saarburg, Germany, and built specifically for German amateur sports clubs and associations (Vereine). The platform combines a web-based administration portal (vereinsticket.app) with two companion mobile apps — the Vereinsticket app for fans/members and VT Scan & Co for club-side admission control — and is hosted on German data center servers via hosting partner Mittwald. Core functionality spans ticketing, QR-code-based admission (VT Sportausweis), online payments, member administration, dues collection (Beitragswesen), attendance tracking, facility scheduling (Belegungsmanagement), and tournament organization, with recent additions including season ticket sales, digital visitor management, and Tap to Pay. Technical build-out was executed in partnership with EURESA, and the platform supports integrations with credit cards, PayPal, ApplePay, GooglePay, Giropay, and Wero for payments, alongside Microsoft Teams for support workflows. The company was founded in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, initially pivoting from a contact-tracing MVP to a full club management suite; it is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding.

The business model is freemium with advertising and transaction-fee monetization. The core platform is free for registered amateur clubs (eingetragene Vereine); the Payment module is also free for e.V. clubs, with single-digit percentage transaction fees applying only to professional entities (GmbH clubs). Clubs pay nothing upfront and are billed only after a successful event, eliminating financial risk. Additional revenue streams include advertising from selected partners invested in amateur sports (e.g., BARMER) and feature sponsorship, where clubs or their sponsors co-fund development of specific features that are then made generally available. Go-to-market is fully self-serve and product-led: clubs self-register at vereinsticket.app with auto-onboarding enabling setup in under 24 hours, and growth is amplified through a Partnerverein referral program that pays a EUR 100 credit per converted club and offers revenue-based kickbacks.

Vereinsticket serves over 90 clubs across Germany spanning football, American football, volleyball, handball, swimming, tennis, esports, carnival, orchestral, and social/cultural associations — entirely SMB and association customers with no enterprise anchors. Headcount is in the 11-50 range, and the company is led by Managing Director Gregor Demmer. Geographic scope is explicitly Germany-only within the DACH region, with no public DACH expansion announced. The company carries no disclosed funding rounds, no parent organization, and no regulatory actions, and operates exclusively through digital self-serve distribution channels.

Revenue model

1. Transaction/Platform Fees: The platform charges transaction fees on paid ticket sales. Amateur e.V. clubs receive the Payment module free of charge; professional entities (GmbH clubs) and non-e.V. organizations pay fees in the single-digit percentage range. Clubs pay only after an event concludes, and only if revenue was generated (no fixed costs).
2. Advertising: Vereinsticket is advertising-funded. The company works with selected partners who are passionate about amateur sports and want to be present in the Vereinsticket ecosystem.
3. Feature Sponsorship: Clubs or their sponsors can fund the development of specific features they need. Most feature-sponsored features are subsequently made available to all clubs on the platform at no additional cost.
