Questions About Event Ticketing

Online Event Ticketing and Event Management

Sell more tickets with referral rewards, see what drives revenue, get paid, answer attendees faster and keep check-in moving.

Referral rewards can add up to 20% more ticket sales. Your result depends on your event, your audience and the rewards you set. Jorge Perdomo of The Fluffy Cloud saw $25,778 in referral ticket sales from $1,368 in cash-back rewards, and 31% of his buyers shared their link.

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.

Talking to Fai on this page is a sales conversation about features, pricing and whether Ticket Fairy fits your events. After you sign up, Fai in your dashboard works on your own events: ticket changes, sales checks and event updates, within the permissions you set.

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. Refunds and any referral rewards you choose to offer come out of ticket revenue. Referral rewards apply to paid tickets on events where you turn referrals on.

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.

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 staff need 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 attendees book. Add questions for the whole order or for each ticket. Export the answers with your order data from your dashboard.

Attendees 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 someone loses the email, you can resend the confirmation email from your dashboard.

Ticket Fairy covers event pages, ticket types and tiers, reserved seating, add-ons and promotions, plus marketing, payouts, scanning and analytics. Your staff can sell, understand demand, help customers and keep check-in 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 box office staff 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 registration form questions attendees 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 staff the attendee information, ticket and payment details 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 staff can prepare accordingly.
