An event ticketing platform manages the commercial side of attendance: creating ticket types (VIP, general, group), setting prices, collecting payments, and delivering QR-coded tickets via email or mobile wallet. Advanced platforms support early-bird pricing that switches automatically at deadline, group discount thresholds, and promo codes for targeted audiences.
The ticketing system should connect directly to the check-in system so there is no duplicate data entry — a scanned QR code at the door should pull the attendee record instantly. Fee structures vary widely between platforms: some charge a percentage per ticket, others offer flat fees or zero platform fees, passing only payment processor costs to organisers.
EventHex's ticketing module supports both free and paid events with transparent fee structures and instant payouts, and every ticket issued includes a QR code that feeds directly into the on-site check-in flow.
