Online and on-site payments in one system

Adyen is omnichannel: sell tickets online and accept in-person card payments at the box office or the bar on the same platform. Online and on-site sales share one reporting and reconciliation flow, which is ideal for festivals and venues.

Built for festivals, venues and multi-country operators

Adyen is an enterprise platform aimed at higher-volume merchants (roughly from 250k USD per year), with onboarding through a sales contract and a compliance review. It fits festivals, venues, agencies and multi-country event companies rather than solo organizers.

Higher international conversion

Local acquiring, local payment methods and RevenueProtect together raise approval rates and reduce declines on foreign cards. The result is more completed international ticket sales.
