The TrendMyEvent alternative to EventPadi
TrendMyEvent is the growth ready alternative to EventPadi
Everything an event needs, in one dashboard. Ticketing, creator bookings, galleries and clean payouts. Built for organizers who want to grow, not just list.
If you are comparing EventPadi and TrendMyEvent, the difference is what you get outside of the ticket sale. TrendMyEvent gives you a curated creator coverage marketplace, a public gallery after every event, and organizer level analytics that show what actually filled the room. Plus the fast Nigerian payouts you already expect.
What makes TrendMyEvent stand out
Creator coverage marketplace
Book vetted creators to hype your event, in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and beyond. All the vetting, contracts and payouts happen inside the platform.
Post event galleries
A public shareable gallery goes live for every event. That is how your next event sells itself while you sleep.
Real organizer analytics
See traffic sources, conversion rate, attendee cities and referral performance. Fill smarter next time, not louder.
Trust first approval
We approve events before they go live. Your event shows up next to serious listings only, which keeps buyer trust high.

Questions people ask
Is TrendMyEvent cheaper than EventPadi?
There is no subscription and no commission taken out of the ticket price you set. A booking fee applies per ticket and you choose whether the buyer or your event covers it — the full breakdown is on the pricing page.
Can I move an event that is already selling on EventPadi?
Yes. Publish the same event here, redirect your links, and keep selling. Tickets already sold elsewhere stay valid on that platform, and you can check both lists at the door.
How fast do I get paid?
Request a payout once your event is verified. Funds are sent to your Nigerian bank account, typically within 24 hours of approval.
Do buyers need an account to buy a ticket?
No. A buyer can pay by card, bank transfer or USSD and the ticket is emailed instantly with a QR code for entry.
Built for Nigerian organizers, first
TrendMyEvent is a growth stack for Nigerian organizers, not just a ticket page. That is the difference between selling out once and selling out every time.
