Background and challenges
Founded in 2008, Weezevent is a start-up which quickly developed into a key player in the events industry. Originally focusing its business on ticketing, the company expanded its range to include access control solutions, cashless payments and marketing tools for comprehensive events management. Weezevent meets the complex requirements of events organisers with ease, while optimising the experience for attendees.
As a high-growth company, Weezevent was looking for a payment partner that could match its ambitions: simple, fast, reliable, and able to manage significant peak loads when tickets go on sale for highly anticipated events.
This is why MONEXT was selected to manage Weezevent’s on-line payments and top-up solutions for cashless events.
MONEXT’s solution
MONEXT provided its expertise to ensure fluid payment management, particularly in environments where a surge in transactions may reach enormous peak volumes.
MONEXT’s on-line payment solution was rolled out to manage both on-line ticket purchases and cashless payments during events.
During major events such as the AC/DC concert or the Hellfest, MONEXT supported Weezevent with increased monitoring and a traffic management system, making it possible to process 100 transactions per second with ease and manage a total volume of 6.9 million authorisations in 2023. Thanks to this robust system and MONEXT’s flexibility, Weezevent was able to guarantee a flawless user experience, a key success factor for these popular events.

Partnership between MONEXT and Weezevent: strategic collaboration
Weezevent stresses the importance of reliable payment solutions, stating that for major events, payment system downtime could be disastrous.
“For a festival, if the payment system does not work for 2 hours, it is the equivalent of a normal store being closed for 2 weeks”
Pierre-Henri Deballon, CEO of Weezevent.
Through its expertise, MONEXT was able to ensure uninterrupted transactions, a critical factor when there are massive payment volumes, reaching up to several tens of millions of euros for certain events.
Flexibility and resilience are two words which sum up this partnership. Weezevent has had to meet unexpected challenges such as logistical delays, and MONEXT was able to respond quickly to the constraints to prevent any interruptions.
In short
In MONEXT, Weezevent has found a reliable and responsive partner, able to manage extreme peak traffic and ensure seamless transactions for major events. MONEXT is not only a payment services provider, but is also a key strategic partner which supports Weezevent’s growth and expansion as an ambitious player in the events management industry.
