We dove in and gathered the TOP 4 online ticketing platforms in Hungary that can help event organizers sell as many tickets as possible. Let’s take a look!
1) Cooltix
The fastest-growing player on the list, offering its services at significantly better rates compared to similar platforms.
Fees
Both the platform commission and the card payment processing fee can be fully included in the handling cost, which is paid by the buyer on top of the ticket price. This way, the full ticket price goes directly to the organizer. Organizers may also choose to set the handling cost higher than the minimum, in which case the additional revenue also goes to them.
Features
Cooltix offers a wide range of advanced features, some of which are not available on the other platforms listed here. Ticketing can be integrated directly into the organizer’s own website, and the system supports one-off events, recurring events, and even booking-based events. Organizers can also create their own event pages, manage promoter networks, and use tools such as dynamic pricing, tracking codes, and newsletter integrations.
Admin Dashboard
Among Hungarian ticketing sites, Cooltix stands out by providing organizers with a fully comprehensive admin dashboard, allowing them to set up and modify everything independently. This eliminates the need for lengthy contracts before registration, meaning ticket sales can begin in as little as 15 minutes. Sales and entry can be tracked live with detailed reports, and the entire customer database can be downloaded if needed.

This list wouldn’t be complete without Eventbrite, which in many ways is considered a global market leader in ticketing platforms.

Accessibility
In Hungary, only a limited number of organizers can use it, as Eventbrite does not integrate with invoicing software accepted by the Hungarian tax authorities. Without this, only organizers of free events can fully benefit from its features.
