Numerous electronic music fans will soon experience a seamless connection between digital tracks and live events as Beatport officially launched its dedicated ticketing platform, Beatport Tickets, on October 16, 2025. Developed in partnership with European ticketing provider Weeztix, formerly known as Eventix, the platform initially targets promoters, labels, and venues across the UK and European Union, with US expansion planned in coming months.
The strategic initiative aims to exclusively serve the dance music niche, effectively bridging the gap between Beatport’s broad digital marketplace and physical event attendance. By leveraging its approximately 40 million annual users worldwide, Beatport positions itself as a extensive destination where DJs, producers, and fans can engage with both recorded music and live culture in one ecosystem.

Event organizers can now sell tickets directly through the Beatportal platform, integrating their offerings with dance music news and cultural content. The self-service ticketing system, powered by Weeztix technology, provides robust tools for global ticket management without requiring third-party ticketing systems.
Custom playlists curated by organizers offer potential attendees previews of musical styles they can expect at upcoming shows. The platform also features advanced analytics tools to help promoters gain valuable insights for more effective decision-making. The platform also includes 24/7 customer support provided by Weeztix to handle any issues that may arise with ticket purchases or event access.
Beatport plans to further integrate the ticketing service with its main music store later in 2025, enhancing the user experience by combining music discovery with live event access. By 2026, event listings will appear directly on artist and label profile pages, creating a streamlined discovery-to-purchase journey for fans.
This move represents a significant challenge to the traditional divide between digital music platforms and live event ticketing in electronic dance music. For promoters and artists, the platform offers enhanced reach within the global dance music community, while fans benefit from a richer experience connecting favorite artists’ profiles to live events. Artists can leverage the platform to diversify their income through sync licensing opportunities alongside ticket and merchandise sales. Promoters will be able to define and reach specific audiences through targeted advertising features, maximizing attendance at their events.
