How do UAE organizers choose a ticketing platform?

Organizers in the UAE compare ticketing platforms on five things. This is how Blend answers each one.

For the rest of the platform, see Blend's tools for organizers.

Local compliance
Blend is approved by Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) as a ticketing supplier (supplier number 207769, since 12 October 2026) to sell tickets for DET-permitted events, and sells every pass for Step Dubai 2027.
Organizer control
Your own contact list, your own white-label website on your own domain, and live sales in your own dashboard.
Operations
BlendOS runs the door, zone readers, walk-in sales and the bar on phones, tablets and POS machines. For enterprise clients, cashless and Blend's team on site come on a custom proposal.
Fees
Free to start. Paid tickets carry one published fee, and you choose who pays it: the buyer, you, or a split.
Reach
Events listed on Blend's Discover page and app, WhatsApp and email campaigns to past buyers, and a code and link for every promoter.

Built for the way UAE events run

Organizers who host every week and teams with one big date a year run their ticketing on Blend: club nights and brunches, fitness and wellness series, conferences, workshops and festivals. The same event page, checkout and BlendOS app handle forty guests or 8,000, like Step Dubai 2027. Blend also sells in Lebanon, the USA and Canada, so a tour or a second date abroad runs on the same account.

See what is on now in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, or browse club nights and conferences.

AED pricing and card checkout

Set your ticket prices in AED. Buyers pay with Visa, Mastercard or Amex, or with Apple Pay and Google Pay on supported devices, and card details are tokenized by Stripe. The buyer sees the ticket price, the processing fee as its own line and the total before paying, and the ticket arrives by email and in the Blend app as a QR code.

Fast entry at the door

Your staff scan tickets from the organizer console with any phone camera, or with BlendOS on phones, tablets and POS machines. A ticket that was already scanned is flagged, and the live guest list shows who is in and who has not arrived yet. On bigger nights, BlendOS also runs zone readers and walk-in sales, and cashless bars for enterprise clients on a custom proposal.

Seat maps, codes and your own brand

Seated venues get a seat or table map buyers pick from, with each seat held during checkout so it cannot be sold twice. Discount codes can be a percentage or an amount, capped and limited to certain tickets, and every promoter gets a code and link that counts their sales.

To keep buyers inside your own brand, build a white-label ticketing website on your own domain.

Blend is approved by DET to sell tickets in Dubai

Events in Dubai need an event e-permit from Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), and a ticketed event also needs an e-ticketing permit, with tickets sold through a DET-approved ticketing company. Blend has been approved by DET as a ticketing supplier since 12 October 2026 (supplier number 207769) to sell tickets for DET-permitted events, and is the official ticketing platform for Step Dubai 2027 at Dubai Internet City. Read how to get a Dubai event permit and how ticket sales follow.

Weekly series and multi day events

Weekly club nights, fitness series and multi day conferences are the norm in the UAE. Sell a pass that covers several days and is checked day by day at the door, open a waitlist when a date sells out, and message past buyers by email or WhatsApp when the next date goes on sale, so every event starts from the audience the last one built.

How payouts work in the UAE

Sales appear in the Finance page of your console with the processing fee separated out. With Stripe Connect, every sale lands in your own Stripe account the moment a ticket is bought. How fees work is on the pricing page.

More on how to get paid faster for ticket sales.

Questions

Questions organizers in the UAE ask

Yes. Blend is approved by Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) as a ticketing supplier (supplier number 207769, since 12 October 2026) to sell tickets for DET-permitted events, and is the official ticketing platform for Step Dubai 2027.

With Stripe Connect, every sale lands in your own Stripe account the moment a ticket is bought, and Stripe pays it out to your bank on its usual schedule.

Stripe Connect makes your ticket sales land directly in your own Stripe account. You link your Stripe account to Blend once, and when a buyer pays, your share of the sale goes straight into that account at that moment, not into a Blend balance that pays you after the event. Stripe then pays it out to your bank on your own payout schedule. It works where Stripe works, such as the UAE, the USA and Canada; in Lebanon, Blend pays out by Whish or bank transfer within 24 to 72 hours after the event.

Yes. Set ticket prices in AED and buyers check out in AED by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.

Blend is free to start, and free events cost nothing. Paid tickets carry one fee shown at checkout, and you choose whether the buyer pays it, you absorb it or you split it. The details are on the pricing page.

No. Any phone with a camera can scan tickets from the organizer console in the browser, and BlendOS turns any phone, tablet or POS machine into a scanner.

Yes. Free events and RSVPs cost nothing, and guests still get a QR ticket for check in.

Yes. Build a white-label ticketing website on your own domain in Blend's store editor and sell every event there, with Blend's checkout underneath.

Put your next event on Blend.

Free to start, no card required. Most organizers are selling the same afternoon.
