Sell tickets online for your event: how it works
To sell tickets online for an event, you create the event and its ticket types, publish a checkout, share the link and validate each ticket at the door. With Futura Tickets, the checkout carries your brand, every ticket has a dynamic QR code, and the attendee database belongs 100% to the organizer.
Four steps to sell tickets online for an event
Create the event with its date, venue and capacity, and set up the ticket types: early bird, general admission, VIP or group tickets (our guide to ticket types explains each one). Publish the checkout on your own page or embed the ticket widget on your website, and share the link in your campaigns. Track sales by channel while the on-sale runs. On the day, staff validate tickets with the app: the Futura Tickets app validates a QR code in 1-2 seconds, and the access control panel shows entries in real time.
Can you sell tickets online for free?
For a free event, yes: a free ticket still gives you the attendee list and keeps entry within capacity. For paid tickets, someone always covers the card processing and the platform, usually the buyer through a service fee, and that fee has to be in the advertised price. In the US, the FTC's Rule on Unfair or Deceptive Fees has required all-in prices for live-event tickets since May 12, 2025; in the UK, section 230 of the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 has done so since 6 April 2025.
