Sell Tickets on Your Own Website — Keep Every Dollar
Every event, the ticketing platform takes its cut and keeps your attendee data. We build custom ticketing platforms for organizers who run events regularly — registration, QR check-in, waitlists, promo codes — built by people who've actually worked the door.
Ticketing platforms run on a simple deal: convenience now, a toll forever. A service fee on every ticket, a processing percentage on every sale, and — the part organizers underestimate — the attendee relationship belongs to the platform. Your buyers become their marketplace users, marketed to for everyone's events, including your competitors'.
For a one-off event, that deal is fine. For an organizer running events every month, it's a permanent tax on a business you built. A custom ticketing platform flips it: pay once for the software, own it, and from then on tickets sell on your own website at standard card-processing rates — with every attendee record in your database, ready for your next announcement.
We Haven't Just Built Ticketing. We've Run the Door.
Our founder spent two decades running ticketed singles events and the platforms behind them. The systems we've built and operated include QR-code check-in consoles used at real, crowded events, waitlists that notify when seats open, promo codes with per-channel sales attribution, per-ticket-type limits (including balanced admissions for mixer-style events), refunds and credits, and Eventbrite syncing for organizers mid-transition. Every feature on this page exists because an actual event needed it — the same operating history behind our dating platform work.
Everything the Big Platforms Do — On Your Domain
The complete organizer toolkit, minus the per-ticket toll.
Registration & Checkout
Event pages and ticket sales on your own website, Stripe-powered, at standard card rates. No service fee stacked on top — yours or theirs.
Ticket Types & Limits
Early bird, VIP, member pricing, per-type quantities and rules — including balanced admissions where the event format needs it.
QR Check-In Console
Scan or search at the door from any phone, live counts, duplicate protection, one-tap undo. Built for a crowded doorway at 7:55 PM.
Capacity & Waitlists
Sell to capacity, then a waitlist that notifies people the moment a seat opens — recovered revenue that platforms rarely handle well.
Promo Codes & Attribution
Discount codes with limits and expiry — and per-code sales tracking, so SAVE10IG versus SAVE10NL tells you which channel actually sells.
Confirmations & Reminders
Automatic ticket delivery, event reminders by email and SMS, and post-event follow-ups — your list, your messages, your relationship.
Built for Organizers Who Keep Organizing
The economics work for anyone selling tickets month after month.
Recurring Event Series
Mixers, workshops, classes, shows — the more events you run, the more the per-ticket toll costs you, and the faster ownership pays off.
Venues & Promoters
Your calendar, your brand, your door — with attendee history that tells you who comes back and what sells out.
Communities & Nonprofits
Meetups, fundraisers, and member events where every skimmed fee is money that should have stayed in the mission.

Your Events. Your Platform. Your Audience.
Every ticket sold on your own site builds your list, your data, and your brand— instead of feeding a marketplace that also promotes your competitors' events to your buyers. Whether you run two events a month or twenty, we size the build to your calendar and quote it fixed-price. Bring us your event schedule and we'll do the fee math together.
Custom Ticketing FAQ
How much do Eventbrite fees actually cost an organizer?
Ticketing platforms charge a per-ticket service fee plus a payment processing percentage on every sale — forever. For an organizer running regular events, that quietly adds up to thousands per year. A custom platform costs once; after that, tickets sell at your payment processor’s standard card rate with nothing skimmed on top.
What does a custom ticketing platform include?
Event pages, registration and checkout, multiple ticket types with per-type limits, promo codes, capacity and waitlists, QR-code tickets with a check-in console for the door, attendee lists and exports, refunds, and automated confirmation and reminder emails. In other words: the parts of Eventbrite you actually use, owned by you.
How much does it cost to build?
Custom code means custom prices — scope drives the number, quoted fixed up front, and the promise is always quality work at an affordable price. For recurring organizers the math is simple: add up a year of platform fees and do the division with us — the per-ticket toll usually stops making sense fast.
How does check-in work at the door?
Every ticket carries a QR code. Staff open a check-in console on any phone or laptop, scan or search, and tap to check in — with live counts, duplicate-scan protection, and an undo for the accidental tap. We have built and run exactly this console at real events; it is designed for a crowded doorway, not a demo.
Can it handle waitlists, promo codes, and different ticket types?
Yes — including the subtle parts: waitlists that notify when a seat opens, promo codes with usage limits and per-channel tracking so you know which marketing worked, and per-ticket-type rules and limits (early bird quantities, member pricing, balanced admissions for mixer-style events). These details come from operating ticketed events, not from a feature checklist.
What if my events are small or just getting started?
The platform scales to you: a lean build for an organizer getting a series off the ground, a fuller one for a packed calendar. Owning your ticketing early also means owning your attendee list from the very first event — the asset that makes every next event cheaper to fill. And because we do SEO and growth work too, we can help the events get found, not just ticketed.
