More for your cause
5% + 20p per ticket. No tiers, no contracts. Free events genuinely free – no platform fees, no limits. Every pound you save on fees is a pound more for your cause.
Donations alongside tickets
Add an optional donation to any ticket checkout, so supporters can give a little extra when they book. Every contribution lands in the same account as your ticket sales.
Volunteers can run it
Designed for anyone, not event professionals. Committee changes? Duplicate last year’s event. Eight user roles to choose from so everyone can help as needed without compromising on data and security.
Features for charities

Check-in and onsite payments just got easier! If you're scanning tickets or selling tickets on the door, we have two perfect apps to help.

I absolutely love the platform it’s designed to work the way you want, offering great flexibility and ease of use."
