How GotTickets works
Three different things happen here, and which one you care about depends entirely on why you came. Pick your side — you do not need to read the other two.
Buying a ticket
No app to download, and the ticket is yours the moment you pay.
Find the event
Search by event, artist, venue or city — or browse what's on near you from the front page.
Pick your tickets
General, VIP, early bird, tables — whatever the organizer set up, with the price shown before you commit.
Check out
Card payment through Stripe. Every fee is on screen before you pay, not added at the last step.
Get your ticket
It arrives by email with a QR code, and you can add it to Apple Wallet. It also lives under My Tickets in your account.
Scan in at the door
Show the QR on your phone. It is checked once — a screenshot passed round the group will not get four people in.
Where the money goes
A real example, calculated by the same code as the checkout.
The organizer keeps the full ticket price — the fee on top is what covers card processing and running the platform. Refunds are handled by the organizer who put the event on, since it is their money and their event; if you cannot reach them, contact us and we will chase it. Read the refund policy →
Selling your own event
You set the face price and net that exact figure. Stripe pays your own account.
Create the event
Date, venue, artwork, description and as many ticket types as you need. Free to list.
Connect Stripe
Ticket money lands in your own Stripe account. Until it is connected there is nowhere for it to go.
Go on sale
Share your link. Sales, revenue and remaining capacity update live while it runs.
Build a promotion team
Invite promoters or approve the ones who ask. Each gets their own tracked link and QR code.
Scan and settle
Check people in with QR at the door. Commissions are worked out per promoter as the sales land.
Getting paid to promote
You are not selling our platform. You are selling a night you would have gone to anyway.
Find events to promote
Browse the events open to promoters and see what each one pays per ticket before you commit.
Apply, and get approved
The organizer decides. It is their event, so they choose who sells it.
Get your link and QR
Generated for you, for that event. Post it, text it, or print the QR on a flyer.
Promote and track
Clicks, scans and tickets sold, live on your own dashboard. A click counts for 30 days, so a sale next week still credits you.
Get paid
Commission is calculated automatically and paid out through Stripe. You are not chasing anybody for it.
Same account,
however many jobs you do
There is no separate buyer account and seller account. There is your account.
These stack. The same person can buy a ticket on Friday, put their own event on sale on Monday, and promote somebody else's the week after — on one login. Your dashboard shows the tools for whichever of these you actually do, and nothing for the ones you do not.
Still got
a question?
Fees, refunds, payouts, where your ticket went and how a promoter gets paid — all answered in one place.
