The TrendMyEvent alternative to Mainstack
TrendMyEvent is the events focused alternative to Mainstack
Mainstack is a creator stack. TrendMyEvent is an events stack. Ticketing, creator promotion, door scanning, galleries and clean payouts, all built for Nigerian events.
Mainstack does a lot of things across the creator economy. TrendMyEvent goes deep on one thing, live events in Nigeria. That focus is why organizers get real event ticketing, a creator marketplace they can book from, and a post event experience that actually sells the next event for them.
What makes TrendMyEvent stand out
Purpose built event ticketing
QR tickets, door scan, seat and tier logic, discount codes and free events, all designed for the way Nigerian events actually run.
Creator coverage marketplace
Book vetted creators in your city to shoot and post your event. All paid and approved inside the platform, so nobody ghosts.
Post event galleries
A public gallery goes live for every event. Guests share it, brands see it, and your next event fills faster.
Payout and approval model that protects your brand
We verify events before they publish, and we pay out to your Nigerian bank fast when the event is done.

Questions people ask
Is TrendMyEvent cheaper than Mainstack?
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 Mainstack?
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
When events are your main business, an events first platform gives you leverage you cannot get from a general creator toolset.
