How to sell tickets online for a party
First decide capacity, ticket types and price; then choose where to sell, looking above all at when the money reaches you and who pays the fees; take card and Bizum payments; hand out a different link for each channel and each promoter so you know what works; and on the night, scan the QR codes at the door with a phone. What prevents the most problems is having the tickets, the money and the door list in one place.
Before opening sales
Decide how many people fit (the venue's capacity, not how many you'd like to squeeze in), which ticket types you'll sell (general, early, with a drink, VIP) and until when they're sold online. If you plan to raise the price as the date gets closer, set up the tiers from the start.
Where to sell: what to ask
Some platforms collect the sale and pay you after the event, and in others the money goes into your account at the moment of sale. Before choosing, ask these four things in writing:
- What percentage or fixed amount per ticket they charge you.
- What fees they add for the buyer and who decides them.
- When the money reaches you
- Straight away, weekly or after the event.
- Whether the buyers' data is yours to tell them about the next party.
How to take payment
Offer card and Bizum: a good share of a party's crowd pays by phone. To take payments in your name you need a virtual card terminal from your bank, and every sale needs its invoice. If you add a booking fee, make it an amount you can justify: the buyer sees the total before paying.
How to spread the link
Don't use the same link everywhere. One for Instagram, another for the WhatsApp group, another for each promoter: that way you know which channel sells and whom to pay commission. Free tickets for guests are best kept on a separate list with its own quota.
On the night
Every ticket with its QR, scanned at the door with a phone: a ticket only gets in once and you always know how many people are inside. If you'll sell at the door, make the box office count against the same capacity as online sales.
How much it costs with Servomo
No monthly fee, just a percentage of what you sell, from 4% with no contract to 2% with a 4-year contract. Each ticket pays at least €0.30 + VAT. VIP tables and free guest lists pay no commission, and any booking fee for the buyer is set by the organiser (up to 10%).
Into the business's own card terminal (Redsys, with card and Bizum), in its name: Servomo never touches the funds and there's no payout to wait for.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a company to sell tickets?
To take payments through a card terminal in your name, the bank will ask you to be self-employed, a company or an association, and every sale needs its invoice. If you aren't yet, the usual thing is for the venue hosting the party to sell. To choose the legal form, it's best to ask an accountant.
