Event ticketing

Sell the tickets. Keep the money.

One flat fee — 85¢ a paid ticket, and not a cent of your sales. Buyers tap your link, pay in seconds, and the pass drops into their wallet. On event day, any phone at the door is the scanner.

A buyer's ticket on their phone after checkout: General Admission for Jordan Avery, a QR code that refreshes, and an Add to Apple Wallet button.
The gate scanner on a staff phone reading that ticket: a full-width green Admit, with the ticket type and the holder's name.

How it works

Three steps to your first sale.

Once your account is set up, connect your bank, add your ticket types, and share your link.

01

Connect your payouts

Link your bank through Stripe once — business name, account, a quick ID check. After that, money from every sale lands in your account on its own schedule.

✓ connected via Stripe
02

Name your tickets, share the link

Set your ticket types and prices, cap the house if you want. You get a public buy page — text it, post it, or tape a "scan to buy" poster by the door. Nobody makes an account.

03

Scan at the gate

On event day, any phone turns into the scanner. Point it at a pass and get a straight answer. Still selling at the door? Show the walk-up QR and take gate sales on the spot.

Made for phones

Bought, shown, and scanned on a phone.

Nothing to download, no account to make. A buyer taps your link, pays, and the pass lands in their wallet — where the code quietly refreshes on its own, so a screenshot is worthless by the time it reaches your scanner. At the door, whoever's standing there uses the phone in their pocket.

Passes live in the walletApple and Google Wallet, so a dead venue signal doesn't strand anyone at the door.
A code a screenshot can't reuseIt rolls over every 30 seconds — a saved picture is already expired when it hits the scanner.
Every phone is a scannerPut as many people on the doors as you have phones; scans stay in sync across all of them.

Pricing

One flat fee. No cut of your sales.

Most ticketing sites take a percentage of every sale. We charge 85¢ per paid ticket. The buyer sees it as its own line at checkout, and you keep every dollar of the ticket price. Free tickets cost nothing.

The fee is shown before they payIt’s its own line at checkout, so nobody is surprised. Card processing is Stripe’s standard rate, passed straight through.

The gate

Every scan is logged.

Scan a pass and get a straight answer. Every scan records who scanned it and at which door — so when someone argues a ticket, there's a fact to point at instead of a shrug. A duplicate gets caught no matter which gate it tries.

Keeps scanning when the Wi-Fi dropsEach scanner loads the day's passes and checks codes on the phone itself, and scans sync when the signal comes back.
Door staff are the scannersStaff clock in with the QR code at the door and a PIN, pick their gate, and start scanning. Their hours go straight to staff payroll.
Three answers, no guessingAdmit, Already in, or Invalid — big and instant, readable at arm's length in a crowd.
Photo-ID when you need itFlag a ticket type and gate staff are prompted to match a photo ID to the name before letting them in.

The details

Transfers, refunds, and alerts.

One-tap transfers

Bought for the family? Send a ticket right from the pass. The recipient claims it and the old copy voids itself — only one live pass at a time.

Refunds & buyer lookup

Find any order by name, email, or number. Refund the ticket price — all or part — and the buyer gets an email about it automatically.

Sales you can watch

Revenue and tickets sold update as orders land, in plain language — plus per-gate activity once the doors open.

Sale, refund, and payout alerts

Get notified about every new sale, refund, and payout, in the app, by email, or both.

Apple and Google Wallet

Passes add to Apple and Google Wallet, so buyers keep them where they keep everything else — no app, no password.

Duplicate tickets caught at the door

Duplicates are caught across every phone at once, and the live code means a passed-around screenshot never works.

Price steps

Open with an early price and raise it on dates you choose. The last step is your price at the door.

Passes for the days you pick

Sell a Saturday pass, a Sunday pass, and a weekend pass. Each one scans only on its days.

Comp passes

Email free passes to coaches, guests, or vendors. They scan like any other ticket.

Cancel and refund everyone

If the event is called off, refund every buyer at once, and every pass stops working.

Your terms at checkout

Add a code of conduct buyers agree to and a refund policy they see before they pay.

Beyond the gate

The same account runs your officials.

Ticketing is one part. The same account schedules your officials, runs their payroll, tracks your door staff’s hours, and keeps everyone updated. See officials & ops →

Officials & scheduling

Drag-and-drop assigning, auto-assign that follows availability, and double-booking alerts. Every official sees their next court on their phone.

Payroll

Pay adds up automatically as matches finish. Mark someone paid and they get a message on their phone.

Attendance

GPS-verified self check-in for officials and a time clock for the doors — no clipboard, no guessing who showed.

Messages to every phone

Messages to everyone’s phone, and alerts when someone’s double-booked.
