Assessment
A call to check the numbers. If a platform is cheaper for your volume, I will tell you so.
Own your ticketing instead of renting it
Ticketing platforms take a percentage of every seat you sell, forever. This is the same system, built once and handed to you.
What you get
A public site for your events
Event pages, images, descriptions and multi-tier pricing, all editable by you.
Direct Stripe checkout
Payments settle in your own Stripe account. No intermediary holding your money.
PDF tickets with QR codes
Branded, generated automatically, emailed to the buyer on purchase.
Door check-in
Staff scan tickets from a phone browser. Green for valid, red for already used. No app to install.
A self-serve admin panel
Create events, set ticket waves, upload posters, watch sales. No database, no developer.
Sales analytics
Traffic, funnel and revenue in one dashboard, alongside your real Stripe fees and payouts.
Promo codes
Optional discount codes managed from the admin panel.
Your brand, not mine
Your logo, typography and colours throughout the site, tickets and emails.

How it works
Fork and brand
Your deployment of a proven engine, with your design, your Stripe account, your database. About two weeks.
Handover
You own the accounts, the domain and the data. Documentation included. No lock-in to me.
Built twice already
The payment engine has been running live since April 2026. Each new deployment reuses it — which is why the second build took two weeks instead of five.
When this makes sense
This is worth it when you are paying — or about to start paying — a percentage of revenue rather than a flat fee, when you sell enough seats for that percentage to be real money, and when what you need is ticketing rather than something genuinely novel. If your volume is low and your needs are unusual, a platform is cheaper than a build. I will say so on the call.
What it costs
3% per ticket sold.
That covers running the system, support and security updates. Setup starts at €900 depending on how much design and migration your events need, plus a monthly platform plan. Card processing is Stripe's own fee and goes to Stripe, not to me. For comparison, organiser commissions in the Czech market commonly sit around 8%, with a further fee added to what your buyer pays — and the group that now owns most of that market has said publicly that the older, lower commissions weren't sustainable.
No revenue share beyond the 3%, and no lock-in: the Stripe account, the domain, the database and the customer data are yours from day one.

Fee assumptions — edit to match current quotes
Eventbrite defaults are the published UK rate (6.95% + £0.59). GoOut figures are what has been reported publicly for the Czech market, not a quoted tariff — PLG does not publish its rates. RA’s ~13% is from their own fees-page example.
On your own site the sale happens on your domain and settles into your Stripe account. The 3% is the only platform fee; Stripe's processing is on your side by design.
