Beatport has launched the Beatport ticketing platform, a new initiative designed to connect recorded music with live performance. Built in partnership with Weeztix, one of Europe’s fastest-growing self-service ticketing companies, the launch extends Beatport’s role from digital music distribution into event organization.
It introduces a unified space where DJs, promoters, and fans can move seamlessly from discovering music to attending live shows.
A New Chapter for Beatport
The Beatport ticketing platform debuts in the UK and EU with plans to expand to the U.S. in the coming months. Promoters, venues, and labels can now list and sell tickets directly on Beatportal, Beatport’s editorial and cultural hub for the dance music community. By early 2026, events will also appear on artist and label profiles within the Beatport ecosystem, integrating ticket access directly into discovery.
This marks a strategic shift for Beatport, aligning its extensive catalog and editorial reach with the live event market. The goal is to empower grassroots venues and smaller promoters with tools typically reserved for larger players while offering fans a direct connection between online engagement and physical events.
According to Beatport’s Chief Revenue Officer, Helen Sartory, this launch follows the success of the company’s Live & Interactive division, which built projects such as The Block—an initiative that gave emerging artists opportunities to perform at festivals. The new platform builds on that idea by creating a consistent experience across discovery, streaming, and live attendance.

Key Features and Capabilities
The Beatport ticketing platform uses Weeztix technology to deliver a flexible, data-driven solution tailored to the electronic music industry. The system allows event organizers to:
- Create integrated event pages that include playlists and track previews linked to ticket sales.
- Display upcoming shows on artist and label pages as part of their Beatport profiles.
- Feature events across Beatport’s store, mobile app, and Beatportal, reaching more than 40 million users annually.
- Sell bundled items such as merchandise, accommodation, and tokens in addition to standard tickets.
- Access analytics tools that track audience engagement and performance metrics.
- Connect to third-party applications via API support.
- Receive full customer service through Weeztix.
These features make the Beatport ticketing platform more than a transactional tool. It is positioned as an ecosystem where music discovery directly fuels attendance, giving artists and labels new ways to convert engagement into ticket sales.
Implications for the Dance Music Scene
This move signals Beatport’s ambition to become a full-spectrum hub for dance culture.
The company’s audience already spans DJs, producers, and fans who use its services daily for downloads, charts, and streaming. Integrating live events adds another layer to the brand’s influence, reinforcing its identity as a global home for electronic music.
For independent promoters, the platform provides built-in exposure through Beatport’s audience and infrastructure. For fans, it offers a unified experience where browsing new releases can lead directly to discovering shows and booking tickets. By embedding event listings in the same environment as track discovery, Beatport closes a long-standing gap between online and in-person engagement.
As the platform rolls out to more territories, the success of this model will depend on adoption from both sides of the market. If artists and promoters embrace it, the Beatport ticketing platform could reshape how dance events are marketed and experienced.
Availability and Access
The Beatport ticketing platform is now live in the UK and EU, with U.S. integration expected in 2026. Event organizers can register through Beatportal and begin setting up listings. Fans can browse upcoming events and access direct ticket sales via Beatportal’s event section.
