Momentus Alternatives for Stadiums and Large Venues (2026)

If you are comparing alternatives to Momentus, your venue probably runs on Momentus, Ungerboeck, Priava or VenueOps. These are now one company: Ungerboeck merged with EventBooking, maker of VenueOps, in May 2021, acquired Priava in November 2021, and was renamed Momentus Technologies in early 2023. We cover that history in venue management software in Australia.

This post is the next step: who should stay, what each alternative is built for, and how to run a useful evaluation.

We sell one of the alternatives, Booka, so we say where it does not fit as well as where it does. Competitor facts were checked against vendor sites, trade press and review sites on 2 October 2026.

Who should stay on Momentus

Momentus is a serious product for large venues. Momentus Enterprise, the continuation of Ungerboeck, is positioned for “large, complex operations”, including stadiums, arenas and multi-venue operators. Momentus Elite, the continuation of VenueOps, is aimed at small and mid-sized venues.

Reviewers rate it well. Across Capterra, GetApp and Software Advice, which share one review pool, it holds 4.3 out of 5 from 98 reviews, and customer support is its highest-rated score. Reviewers describe it as a single source of truth for their events, and one calls it “a highly flexible platform”.

We would stay if:

• You use most of the suite. Sales, catering, operations and finance in one system is what Momentus is built for.
• You want ticketing from the same vendor. Momentus launched Momentus Ticketing, a white-label product powered by vivenu, in May 2026.
• Your configuration already matches how you sell. A new system means rebuilding that work.
• Your frustration is training, not the model. If the system can represent your venue and your team finds it hard to use, ask Momentus about retraining, reconfiguration, or whether Elite or Enterprise suits you better first.

Moving systems has a real cost. It should fix a problem the current system cannot.

Why stadium teams look elsewhere

The reviews that mark Momentus down mostly say the same thing. One says “it is complex and requires training beyond what we had internally required before”. Another says it has “too many clicks to get things done”. A third describes a “steep learning curve to master”.

That is the trade a broad suite makes. Pricing is quote-based and, in Momentus’s words, “aligns to scope and usage, not headcount”, with the total number of events factored in. Momentus says Elite implementations for small and mid-sized venues typically run one to three months, and that Enterprise implementations typically run longer.

For a stadium, the question is not whether Momentus is good. It is whether your team uses enough of it to justify the configuration and training, and whether the work of selling space happens inside the system or in spreadsheets beside it.

The alternatives

Each of these is built for a different kind of venue. None is the right choice for everyone.

Booka

Booka is our product: venue management software for stadiums and venue networks, available to license for other stadiums and large venues. The Booka page has who runs it today.

It is built around how stadium space is sold and run:

• tiered provisional holds, so competing interest in a date is visible and the strongest commercial intent wins;
• conflict detection across a space hierarchy, so booking one space blocks the spaces it contains or overlaps;
• approvals inside the booking, not in an email thread beside it;
• staffing templates that become per-event rosters, and run sheets for the event day;
• role-based access per venue, separate permissions for contact details, and an audit log;
• an external API that feeds the building management system, so HVAC, lighting and security follow what is on.

Booka has more than 4,000 commits and over 130 database migrations behind it, and it is still being extended. Shakewell is a Registered supplier under the NSW ICT Services Scheme.

Where it does not fit: Booka does not do ticketing. Booka sells the space, ticketing sells admission. If you want one vendor for everything from ticketing to catering and finance, a suite is the better match.

iVvy

iVvy was founded on the Gold Coast in 2009 and has offices in Australia, South Africa, the US and the UK. It names four markets: hotels and hotel chains, event and function centres, stadiums and sports clubs, and hospitality groups.

For stadiums, its pitch centres on function and hospitality sales: a branded booking engine, quotes and digital contracts, run sheets and banquet event orders, automated invoicing and demand-based pricing. It also sells event ticketing software and integrated payments. Pricing depends on venue size, users and features, and is quoted.

Worth a look if most of your booking load is functions, suites and hospitality, and you want an Australian-founded vendor with ticketing in the same family of products.

EventPro

EventPro is headquartered in Saskatoon, Canada, with an Australian office at Milsons Point in Sydney. It describes itself as “the complete solution to manage rooms, resources, people, and places”.

EventPro offers on-premises or cloud deployment, and says the functionality is the same either way. Pricing is quoted on what your organisation needs, including modules, users and rooms.

Worth a look if you run a mix of facilities, such as a convention centre or a campus, or your IT policy calls for hosting the system yourself.

Tripleseat

Tripleseat calls itself “event management software for restaurants, hotels, and venues”, and its industries include sports and entertainment venues. Vista Equity Partners acquired Tripleseat in March 2020 and merged it with Gather, which it already owned, under the Tripleseat brand. Pricing depends on “volume, locations, add-ons, and use case”.

Worth a look if you sell private events and functions in restaurants, bars and hospitality spaces. At a stadium, we would expect it to suit the hospitality operation more than the whole venue calendar.

Event Temple

Event Temple describes itself as “the sales and catering software purpose-built for hotels”, organised around function space and group blocks. It publishes a starting price of $249 a month, billed annually.

Worth a look if your venue has a hotel attached, or your events business runs like a hotel’s. Its own positioning is hotels, not stadiums.

Planning Pod

Planning Pod lists a wide range of venue types, from wedding venues and restaurants to stadiums and arenas. It publishes its pricing: subscriptions are based on how many events you manage, and it says most single-location venues pay between $199 and $319 a month, with annual plans available.

Worth a look if you run a single venue with a steady volume of events and want to know the cost before the first call. Neither Planning Pod nor Event Temple names the currency on its pricing, so confirm it with them.

Build your own

Building can be the right call when your holds, space hierarchy, approvals and building integrations are central to how you trade and nothing on the market models them.

Be honest about the size of it. Booka has more than 4,000 commits and over 130 database migrations, and it is still being extended. You own a venue platform for as long as you run it, with the team, security and support that implies, so plan for its life, not its launch.

The middle path is to license a platform already built for venues like yours.

How to run the evaluation

Most demos show a product at its best. To learn anything, make every vendor run your hardest scenarios live, on a realistic copy of your spaces.

Write the scripts before the first demo, from real bookings in the past year that caused trouble, and give every vendor the same scripts and the same time. We would start with these:

1. Competing holds. Two clients want the same date, one on a first hold and one on a second. Show what each salesperson sees, and what happens when the first hold lapses or confirms.
2. A hierarchy conflict. Book a concourse for a corporate event, then try to sell a room inside it for the same afternoon. The system should refuse, not warn after the fact. Then combine two rooms and try to sell one of them on its own.
3. An approval. A space needs sign-off from operations. Show where the request goes, who sees it, and what the booking looks like while it waits.
4. Event day. Turn a confirmed booking into a staffing roster and a run sheet. Then move the bump-in by two hours and show who finds out.
5. Downstream systems. Show how the building management system, finance and your ticketing provider learn about the booking. Ask for the API documentation, not a slide.
6. Access. Log in as a coordinator who should see one venue only. Check they cannot see another venue’s bookings or a client’s contact details.
7. The move. Ask how they would bring across your current bookings and holds venue by venue, without stopping trade, and ask for a reference customer of a similar size.

Score each script on three things: did it work live, how many steps did it take, and what needed a workaround. Put the people who book your venues every day on the panel, not only the people who buy software.

The requirements behind these scripts are in what a venue booking system actually needs.

Where to start

If you use most of a suite, stay and invest in configuration and training. If you mainly sell function space, look at the hospitality tools. If your team works around the system to run stadium bookings, look at a platform built for stadiums, including Booka.

If Booka is not the right fit for your venue, we will say so.
