Free and charity events

Free events and charity events are always free

Free event ticketing with byTicks really costs nothing: free events and charity events are always free. You get the same event page, PDF tickets, scanner app and dashboards as every other event.

The checkout

A free ticket has no payment step

Set a ticket to a price of 0 and buyers see Free. They pick their tickets, fill in their details and get their ticket by email, without choosing a payment method.

  • In Quick setup, click Add free ticket and it is on sale right away
  • Set an Amount for your capacity, or leave it empty for unlimited
  • Ask for phone, city, gender or age at checkout if you need them
  • A discount code that makes the whole order free skips payment too

Charity events

Charity events are free with byTicks too

A charity run, a benefit concert, a night for a good cause: charity events are always free with byTicks, and that means really free. You get the same shop, event page and door as any other organiser.

  • Your own page with your artwork and your story
  • No setup fee, no monthly fee and no fee per ticket
  • Tickets for runners, supporters and families, each with its own stock

At the door and after

The same scan and the same dashboards

A free event is a real event at the door. Every guest has a QR code, your team scans it with the free scanner app, and your dashboard shows how many tickets went out and who came.

  • Free Tickets: how many you gave out
  • Checked-in Status: who is inside and who is still coming
  • Shop Visits and Traffic Sources: where your visitors came from
  • A report afterwards, with the busiest moment at your entrance
