What our customers say

Give buyers a reason to bring their friends

Your venue, production and crew need paying before you know what is left for you. A loss can take money away from the next event, too. Turn the enthusiasm for your event into more purchases by rewarding buyers who bring paying friends.

Built-in referral marketing

Boost ticket sales 10–25%: fans get cheaper or FREE tickets for bringing friends

Your buyers get a personal referral link and a share card. The more sales the link drives, the bigger the refund on their own ticket, up to a free one. Add prizes such as ticket upgrades, merch or a VIP table for the buyers who bring the most friends. You get more sales, without paying for ads.

  1. Buyers get a referral link Buyers get a personal referral link and share card after checkout
  2. Friends buy through it Their friends buy tickets through the referral link
  3. You sell more Buyer's ticket gets cheaper (or FREE) - your sales lift 10–25%

Referral rewards and examples

Bigger refund with every milestone

  1. 2 friends: −10% ticket refund
  2. 5 friends: −30% ticket refund
  3. 8 friends: Free (100% off)

You choose the rewards and referral targets

The more friends that buy using their link, the more they get refunded, up to a free ticket.
Let buyers compete on a live leaderboard on your event page. The referral tree shows you and your buyers who each share brought in, including friends of friends.
Offer rewards beyond cash back. Give ticket upgrades, merch, experiences or VIP tables to top referrers or the first to reach a target. Run a weekend boost to count referrals double. Let friends pool their referrals in packs. Manage every reward on the Rewards page, or ask Fai.
+10–25%
Sales boost
20:1
ROI

Real result: $104K in referral ticket sales from just $4,800 in buyer rewards. 30% of buyers actively promoted the event.

So where does the cashback come from?

The new sales each referral drives
A matching cut of Ticket Fairy’s own fee
The buyer’s cashback

You only pay when a referral turns into a sale: no ad budget up front, no payout without a sale. And Ticket Fairy chips in: when a buyer earns 30% back, we refund 30% of our own fee too.

Get paid sooner and bring your audience back

Put ticket income towards your next bills

Venue, production and supplier deposits fall due before doors open. Daily payouts help you put ticket income towards those costs.

Daily payouts are available with Stripe in many countries and Xendit in Indonesia. Availability depends on your country and payment processing account. Other providers use the schedule shown for your event.

From the guest list to the entrance, give each person the access they need. When a ticket question needs more help, our support team is there for you and your buyers.

Questions About Event Ticketing

Online Event Ticketing and Event Management

Sell more tickets with buyer referrals, see what drives revenue, get paid, answer buyers faster and keep entry moving.

You can manage your guest list in three different ways:

  • Send tickets directly to someone's email address
  • Upload a CSV file and issue thousands of guest tickets in bulk
  • Use our guest ticket delegations feature to give 3rd parties outside your company access to issue their own guest tickets, up to the limit that you choose. Now you don't have to handle multiple lists coming in on the day of your event, when you're just trying to get doors open!

All guest list entries are issued with scannable PDF tickets, which scan in the same way as paid tickets.

We support events and venues worldwide with dedicated services in the USA, UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Mexico, India, Indonesia, Singapore, mainland Europe and more. Our platform processes payments in local currencies including USD for the USA, GBP for the UK, AUD for Australia, CAD for Canada, NZD for New Zealand, MXN for Mexico, INR for India, and IDR for Indonesia.

Our support team helps you and your ticket buyers, with 24/7 help for critical event day issues.

Ticket Fees and Pricing

In most cases, this is paid for by the ticket buyer, but you can optionally choose to absorb it instead. We keep the service fee per ticket reasonable for your ticket buyers, unlike most of the event ticketing industry. The ticket fee percentage depends on your ticket price, and includes the credit card processing fee.

No, we do not. There is no cost for free events - it's a totally free online event ticketing system. We only charge if you are selling a paid ticket or an NFT token-gated ticket.

No, there is no charge for issuing guest tickets. These are free tickets and are not subject to any ticket fee.

Payments and Payout of Ticket Revenue

Daily payouts are available with Stripe in many countries and Xendit in Indonesia. Availability depends on your country and payment processing account. Other processors follow the schedule shown for your event. Read our revenue release policy for more detail. Payment options vary by country.

We partner with trusted payment gateway providers, such as Stripe, Adyen, Razorpay and Xendit, ensuring your transactions are secure and smooth when you sell tickets. The processing fee for each payment gateway is included in the overall ticket service fee, and does not cut into your ticket face value, unless you choose to absorb it.

Yes. Sell walk-up tickets and take card payments with Stripe Terminal card readers or Tap to Pay where enabled. Online, box office and door sales use the same event availability, so your team can sell confidently without reconciling a separate list.

Platform Essentials and Day-of Event Tools

Most iOS or Android phones and tablets can scan tickets with Entry Fairy. Offline scanning is not available yet, so your door team needs an internet connection to scan tickets. Check connectivity at each entry point before doors. Your existing RFID partner can also scan Ticket Fairy QR codes.

Yes. Ask for dietary requirements, T-shirt sizes, accessibility needs or other details when buyers book. Add questions for the whole order or for each ticket. Export the answers with your order data from your dashboard.

Buyers select tickets, optionally apply any promo codes or discount codes you've configured, and complete payment. Immediately afterwards they receive a confirmation email with PDF tickets attached, each containing a scannable QR code. If a buyer ever loses the email, you can resend the confirmation email from your dashboard.

Ticket Fairy covers ticket types and tiers, reserved seating, add-ons and promotions, plus marketing, payouts, scanning and analytics. Your team can sell, understand demand, help buyers and keep entry moving.

Yes. Sell walk-up tickets and take card payments with Stripe Terminal card readers or Tap to Pay where enabled. Online, box office and door sales use the same event availability, so your team can sell confidently without reconciling a separate list.

All payment processing runs through trusted, PCI-compliant payment gateways such as Stripe, Adyen, Razorpay and Xendit. Raw card details never sit on our servers. Your customer data lives in your dashboard and is never used to promote competing events, which is a key part of our approach to data security.

Yes. Add your event details, set ticket types and prices, and choose the questions buyers answer when booking. Put tickets on sale when you are ready. You can update details and add ticket types from your dashboard.

Scan tickets quickly with Entry Fairy or work with your existing RFID partner. See live sales, traffic sources and promoter results in your dashboard, so you know what is driving ticket sales while there is still time to act.

Give your team the buyer, attendee, ticket and payment information they need to answer questions quickly. Filter or export the information you can access whenever you need it. Your customer data stays in your account and is never shared with other organisers.

Yes. Run festivals, conferences, business events, theatre performances and sports events from the same dashboard. Ticket Fairy supports club nights through to events with tens of thousands of attendees, and you can manage several events at once.

Yes. Your checkout page inherits your branding (colours and copy) and you can add custom fields, add-ons and tipping that appear during purchase. Platform fees are listed transparently on our pricing page; in most cases they're paid by the ticket buyer, with the option for you to absorb them instead.

Yes. Print credentials on site and scan them with Entry Fairy, so guests move through entry faster. Your badge printing partner can connect through the Ticket Fairy API.

Special attendee requests (accessibility needs, dietary requirements, T-shirt sizes, or anything else collected through your custom registration fields) are visible on each order in your dashboard. You can filter and export them ahead of the event so your team can prepare accordingly.
