Common questions about LGBTQ+ event ticketing

Can I use TryBooking for Pride events?

Yes. TryBooking works for everything from major city Prides to small community celebrations. It's always free for free events, with fees of just a 5% booking fee and a 15p ticket fee for paid events. You can pass fees to attendees so your organisation pays nothing.

Does TryBooking share my attendees' data?

No. We never market to your attendees or share their data with third parties. Your audience's information stays with you. Attendees don't need to create an account to buy tickets, and all data is hosted securely in the UK. You are the data controller.

Can I sell VIP and general admission tickets for the same event?

Yes. Create as many ticket types as you need — general admission, VIP, early bird, group tickets, or anything else. You can set different prices, limits, and availability dates for each.

Can I collect donations alongside ticket sales?

Yes. Add a donation option to any event so your audience can contribute when they buy tickets. Donations are collected in the same checkout — no separate forms or extra steps.

Can I sell tickets on the door?

Yes. The free Box Office app turns your phone into a card and cash payment terminal — no extra hardware needed.

Can I check tickets on the door?

Yes. Use the free Mobile Scanning app to scan pre-sold tickets as guests arrive, with attendance numbers updating live.

How much does it cost?

Free events are always free. For paid events, it's a 5% booking fee and a 15p ticket fee — no subscriptions, no contracts. You can pass fees to attendees so your organisation pays nothing.
