What App Can You Use to Sell Event Tickets?
Good news: there are solid apps for selling event tickets, and getting set up doesn't take long. The key is knowing which one actually fits your event - because they're not all built the same way.
What you need from a ticketing app
Before picking an app, be clear on what you need it to do:
Create an event page guests can find and share
Sell tickets at one or more price points
Collect payment and pay you out reliably
Let you communicate with guests before and after the event
Check guests in at the door without a printed list
If you also want your event to reach new people organically - not just the people you personally invite - you need an app with a built-in social or discovery layer. That's where most ticketing apps fall short, and where Partiful stands apart.
Partiful: built for social events
Partiful started as the go-to platform for personal events - birthdays, dinners, house parties - and expanded into full ticketing for paid events. The result is a ticketing app that feels nothing like a checkout form.
When guests buy a ticket on Partiful, they join a social event page where they can see who else is attending. Their friends see that they're going. Those friends buy tickets. The event grows through real social connections - not just email blasts.
Here's what the app gives you:
Paid and free ticket tiers in the same event
Capacity limits and promo codes
Stripe-powered payouts
SMS text blasts to all guests
Mobile QR check-in for you and your team
Free co-hosts and admins
Listing on Partiful Explore - a local event feed where millions of monthly visitors discover what's happening in their city
How to get started
