Review IKF 2026:
Why your own ticket shop for theaters is indispensable today 🚀 🎭
We're back from Freiburg! The International Culture Fair (IKF) 2026 was not only a real highlight for us, but above all it proved one thing: ditix and cultural creators – that's a damn strong team.
We were thrilled by the large turnout at our booth. The tremendous response at the trade fair showed: More and more organizers and cultural venues are realizing that the traditional model of many ticket providers no longer fits today's world. The era of paying high percentage fees to third parties and waiting for your own revenue is definitively over.
The future belongs to independence: DIY instead of service provider. Your ticket sales. Your rules.
Why your own ticket shop for theaters makes the difference for cultural creators
In the many inspiring conversations on-site, our mission has been confirmed 100%. Cultural creators are under enormous cost pressure. Therefore, your own ticket shop for theaters, cabaret stages, and cultural venues is no longer a luxury, but a crucial economic lever.
With ditix, we offer exactly that: self-service software that returns full control. Our booth visitors at IKF were particularly enthusiastic about these three facts:
- No percentage fee – With ditix, you pay a maximum of 29 cents per ticket in the prepaid model.
- 100% of the advance booking fees belong to you – You set the advance booking fees for your visitors yourself – and keep every single cent of them. This way, you generate noticeable additional revenue from the very first ticket.
- Direct receipt of money – Your ticket revenues flow directly to your own account. This means for you: immediate liquidity and reliable planning security.
Live at the IKF: Drawing seating charts made easy
An absolute crowd-pleaser at the trade fair was our innovative seating chart editor. Initially, some interested parties worried that switching to self-service software might be technically too complex. We proved them wrong!
Live seating charts for their own theaters were already being drawn directly at the booth. The response? Pure enthusiasm. It's intuitive and easy to set up precise sales for your own venue – completely without IT knowledge.
"It was the best decision to switch to ditix, I should have done it much earlier." Andreas Jendrusch, Regionentheater
