Features

Everything an organiser needs

The tools an organiser needs, from creating the event to counting the gate.

Payments

M-Pesa STK Push

Attendees approve the payment on their own phone. No redirect to another site.

Tickets

QR tickets

Every attendee gets a unique QR code, ready to download as a PNG or PDF.

Check-in

Gate scanner

Open the scanner on any phone and scan tickets with the camera.

Analytics

Check-in analytics

See check-in rates, revenue by tier and the scan timeline while your event runs.

Email

Ticket emails

Tickets are emailed to the address the attendee entered. Announcements go out from the dashboard.

Pages

Public event pages

Every event gets its own link. Attendees can register and pay without an account.

Tiers

Ticket tiers

Set up Early Bird, General, VIP and more, each with its own price and quantity.

Security

Duplicate scan check

A ticket can only be scanned in once. An organiser PIN allows a manual override.

Revenue

Revenue dashboard

Gross sales, commission and M-Pesa fees for each event, with a CSV export.

Pricing

Pay when you sell

There is no monthly fee. TicketForge only earns when you sell a paid ticket.

5%per paid ticket

The minimum is KES 10 per ticket and the maximum is KES 750. A KES 50,000 table pays the same commission as a KES 15,000 ticket.

M-Pesa's own transaction fee is separate. It goes to Safaricom, not to TicketForge.
