Events, without the parts that make them hard.

Tiqstar started in Lagos because going out here deserved better than a payment link and a WhatsApp broadcast. Buying a ticket was a leap of faith; running an event meant spreadsheets, bank transfers and a group chat that never stopped.

We build one platform for the whole night — the guest who wants a ticket in their pocket, the creator who needs to know how many people are actually coming, and the vendor who keeps the room running.

From that first event in Lagos to events across eight markets and eight currencies, the mission hasn't moved: make events work for everyone.

Start creating

8 markets

Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, the UK, the US, Canada and the UAE — each in its own currency, with its own local payment methods.

What we do

One platform, three sides of the same night

For event-goers

Find events worth your evening, buy in a few taps, and carry every ticket in one wallet that works even when the venue has no signal.

For creators

Build an event page, set your tiers, sell, and know exactly who walked through the door — with the money in your account after.

Sell tickets →

For vendors

List what you do, get booked by creators planning real events, and get paid through escrow instead of chasing an invoice.

House rules

Four principles that decide what we build, and more often what we refuse to ship.

Say what it costs

A 7% platform fee and the processor fee for your market, itemised on screen before anyone pays. No plans to outgrow, no fee that appears at the last step.

See the numbers

Nothing that only looks like it works

If a feature isn't built, it isn't on the page. We would rather ship late than ship a screen that pretends — a control that reports success and does nothing is worse than none.

What actually ships

Your data is yours

Card numbers never touch our servers. Public guest lists are off by default. Unsubscribe once and it holds across the whole platform, including messages a creator sends.

Built for these markets

Local currencies, local payment methods, mobile money, and a site that behaves on a slow connection in a venue basement. Built here first, then extended outward.
