Why creators choose Tiqstar

The parts of running an event that usually go wrong

On sale the same day

Build the page, set your tiers, publish. Your event is searchable and in the category listings straight away.

Tiers that match how you actually sell

Early bird, tables, group rates, comps, free entry — with per-tier limits, sale windows and who absorbs the fee.

Numbers while it matters

Sales, revenue and check-ins as they happen, not a report afterwards. You can see the room filling from your phone.

A door that works without signal

Scan with a phone or a handheld at the desktop app. Both keep admitting people when the venue Wi-Fi gives out, and reconcile after.

Money you can follow

Every fee itemised, every payout traceable, straight to your bank or mobile-money account.

What you get

Included from your first event, not unlocked by a plan.

Event builder

Images, line-up, schedule, venue and map, age limits, refund policy — plus drafts and scheduled publishing for when the announcement is timed.
How to set one up

Ticket tiers and inventory

Multiple tiers with their own prices, caps and sale windows. Sell out and the waitlist takes over, offering returns to the queue in order.
Structuring what you sell

Promo codes and guest lists

Percentage or fixed discounts, usage limits and expiry dates. Comp your guests without pretending they bought a ticket.
Discounting on purpose

Gate staff and scanning

Add scanners to an event without giving them your account. They see the guest list and the scanner, and nothing else.
Running the door

Message your attendees

Reminders, changes of plan, thank-yous. Consent and unsubscribes are handled for you, so a message you send is one you were allowed to send.
What you can send

Book the vendors too

Catering, photography, sound, security — booked through the platform with payment held in escrow until the job is done.

How it works

Four steps from applying to being paid
1

Apply

Tell us who you are and what you run. A person reviews it — this is a marketplace people spend money in, so we check who is selling.
2

Build your event

Page, tiers, dates, policies. Save it as a draft and take as long as you like before it goes live.
3

Publish and sell

Your event enters search and the category listings. Share the link, run promo codes, watch the tiers move.
4

Run the door, get paid

Scan people in on the night, then withdraw your earnings to your bank or mobile-money account.

7% and the processor's fee. That's it.

No monthly subscription, no listing fee, no cap on events or attendees. Free tickets cost nothing to issue.
