What TicketGang does
TicketGang is a Belgian cloud-based SaaS provider of online ticketing, reservation, and access-control software, founded in 2007 in Hever (Boortmeerbeek) by Walter Curias and Yves Pauwels. The platform was launched in 2008 as the first real-time, organizer-managed online ticketing system in Belgium and is offered as a self-serve web application where event organizers register, create events, sell tickets, and run access control without sales involvement. TicketGang is a privately held, bootstrapped company with 5-10 employees and no disclosed external funding.
The product suite is organized around seven integrated modules: Evenementen (core online ticketing with branded web shops and barcode/QR access control), Vrije Tijd (youth and sports activity registration), Kinderopvang (before/after-school childcare with NFC check-in/check-out and Kind & Gezin compliance), Zaalverhuur (municipal room rental), Materiaalverhuur (equipment rental), Kassa (multi-terminal POS), and an IoT-based access-control add-on. The platform includes a free mobile scanning app (iOS and Android), paid hardware scanners (€70-€299), native integration with the Flemish Uitdatabank and UITpas, automatic fiscal attest generation linked to Belcotax, and TicketGang's own Ingenico contract supporting Bancontact, iDEAL, Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, and American Express.
Revenue is generated primarily through per-ticket service fees (a tiered Standard plan with €0.50-€1.40 per ticket plus 4.5% on tickets above €20, and a flat €1 Economy plan), supplemented by hardware sales and rentals, module subscriptions, and custom development quotes. The customer base spans 1,000+ registered organizers, 50+ Belgian municipalities (over 10% of Flemish municipalities), and cultural centers and theaters. Distribution is primarily self-serve, augmented by direct outreach to municipalities, community events called TicketGangdagen, and a GTM partnership with the Flemish cultural association network OpenDoek.

TicketGang competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Resamania: French booking and ticketing platform focused on libraries, cultural venues, and public-sector organizations, with similar workflow depth for municipal and community customers as TicketGang's Kinderopvang and Vrije Tijd modules.
- Billetto: European event ticketing marketplace active across Benelux and other EU markets, targeting SMB event organizers for concerts, festivals, and cultural events. Competes for the same organizer base with a more marketplace-driven model.
- CitizenTicket: UK-based white-label ticketing platform serving local councils, charities, and community organizations. Closest analogue to TicketGang's municipal and association-focused vertical, with similar self-serve event registration and access control features.
- Paylogic: Dutch-origin primary ticketing platform acquired by CTS Eventim, serving Benelux event organizers with similar B2B ticketing, access control, and white-label offerings. Closest geographic and product-line competitor to TicketGang.
- Weezevent: French event ticketing and cashless payment platform serving festivals, venues, associations, and public-sector organizers. Comparable SaaS model with hardware add-ons and a strong regional foothold similar to TicketGang's Belgian base.
Emerging players

Broad incumbents

- CTS Eventim: Europe's largest ticketing conglomerate, now including Paylogic, operating primary ticketing and live entertainment across multiple European countries. Direct competitive threat in Benelux through its Paylogic subsidiary and broader portfolio.
