The TrendMyEvent alternative to Selar
TrendMyEvent is the events first alternative to Selar
Selar is great for digital products. TrendMyEvent is built end to end for events, with proper ticketing, door scanning, creator bookings and post event galleries.
Selling event tickets is a different problem to selling a PDF. Guests need QR tickets, doors need a scanner, promoters need tracked links, and organizers need a payout that lands before the next event weekend. TrendMyEvent is designed around that flow, so nothing feels bolted on.
What makes TrendMyEvent stand out
Real event ticketing with QR and door scan
Buyers get QR tickets by email. Your team scans them at the door with a phone. Each ticket scans once, no manual list checking.
Creator coverage marketplace
Book vetted creators to promote the event, all inside the same tool. That kind of demand generation is not something a general checkout gives you.
Post event galleries
Every event ends with a public gallery your guests share. That is how you sell out the next one without spending more on ads.
Tracked promoter links and payout tally
Give any promoter a unique tracked link, see what they sold, and pay them a share you set. Turn friends into a sales team.

Questions people ask
Is TrendMyEvent cheaper than Selar?
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 Selar?
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.
