Ticketing Overview
Sell tickets directly from Band Account — no third-party platform needed.
Band Account has a built-in ticketing system that lets you sell tickets to your shows, collect payment directly into your bank account via Stripe, and manage door entry with a mobile QR scanner — all without paying fees to a third-party ticketing platform.
How it works
Here's the end-to-end flow:
- 1Connect your Stripe account (one-time setup) so you can receive payments
- 2Enable ticketing on any show and create ticket types (General Admission, VIP, Early Bird, etc.)
- 3Share the public show page link with fans — they can buy tickets without creating an account
- 4Buyers receive a confirmation email with a 'View Ticket' link
- 5The ticket page displays a QR code the buyer shows at the door
- 6Use the in-app scanner on any phone to scan tickets and check in guests
- 7Track sales, revenue, and check-in rates on the Ticket Sales Dashboard
What does it cost?
Band Account charges a 2.5% platform fee on each ticket sale. Standard Stripe processing fees also apply (typically 1.4% + 30p for UK cards). There are no monthly fees or setup costs for ticketing — you only pay when you sell.
For free events, you can create £0 ticket types. No fees are charged and tickets are issued instantly without going through Stripe checkout.
Requirements
To sell tickets you need: an active Band Account subscription, a completed Stripe Connect onboarding (takes around 5 minutes), and a show marked as public with ticketing enabled.
