CTS Eventim Pricing 2026: Plans, Pros & Cons

Overview

CTS Eventim is a European ticketing and live-entertainment group that reports two segments, Ticketing and Live Entertainment.^[3] It generated group revenue of €3.1bn in 2025 across more than 25 countries and says more than 300 million tickets a year are marketed through its systems, including its online and mobile portals and box-office networks.^[3]

In the first nine months of 2026 group revenue rose 8.1% to €2.322bn, and Ticketing segment revenue rose 13.1% to €708.7m. Retail ticket sales in the Ticketing segment increased from 121.3 million to 123.2 million tickets over the period. Growth in Live Entertainment was helped by newly consolidated companies.^[3]

CTS Eventim’s business model is similar to Ticketmaster’s: it combines primary ticketing contracts with venues and promoters, consumer ticket shops under the Eventim brand in many European countries, and its own concert promotion. For a European venue it is the most direct alternative to Ticketmaster. Its limitations for smaller organisers are that standard fees are not published and that its systems are designed for large-scale contracted ticketing rather than self-service sign-up. On 30 September 2026 the company announced that its chief financial officer had left the executive board with immediate effect.^[3]
