How it works

Easy event setup, clear buyer checkout and practical tools for the door.

Local Tickets is planned as a straightforward ticketing flow for organisers who want to spend less time fighting software and more time selling seats, spaces and experiences.

For creators

Create, sell and manage your event.

1

Set up the event

Add the name, venue, dates, times, capacity, ticket types and any access notes buyers need before booking.

2

Design the room

Map the theatre, hall or venue, place the stage, add multiple floors or balcony areas, assign seat numbers and mark restricted-view seats before tickets go on sale.

3

Make it look ready to sell

Upload event images, add useful links and paste video URLs so trailers, band clips or attraction previews can appear embedded.

4

Choose payment options

Connect the approved payment setup for cards, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay, then decide whether fees are absorbed or shown to buyers.

5

Publish and share

Send buyers to a mobile-ready event page that is easy to share from websites, social posts, emails and printed publicity.

6

Manage sales

Use the creator portal to review orders, issue updates, export attendee data and keep a clear view of ticket revenue.

7

Check people in

Scan or validate tickets at the door, with a workflow that can grow from a single volunteer to multiple entry points.

Room designer

Let coordinators map the space before the first ticket is sold.

The event admin area should include a room designer for theatres, halls, attractions and mixed-use spaces. Coordinators can describe where the stage is, how seats are numbered and how the venue is split across floors or balcony levels.

  • Place the stage, entrances, aisles and key room features.
  • Create seating blocks, standing areas, tables or flexible zones.
  • Assign seat numbers, rows and sections for reserved seating.
  • Mark restricted-view seats so buyers see the limitation before booking.
  • Support multiple floors, balconies or split venue layouts.

For ticket buyers

A fast route from event link to ticket confirmation, then a verified review.

Find the event

Open the event page from a link, search result or organiser website.

Choose tickets

Select dates, quantities and ticket types with fees shown before payment.

Pay securely

Use the available checkout method, including cards, PayPal and digital wallets where configured.

Keep tickets handy

Receive ticket details and use the Find Tickets portal if the email is lost or a buyer needs to retrieve an order.

Review past events

Once the ticket date has passed, eligible ticket holders should be able to leave a public 0-5 star review of the event.

Media-rich listings

Images, links and embedded videos give buyers confidence before they book.

Event creators should be able to add a poster image, venue image, gallery photo or video link without needing to edit code. The event page then turns that content into a polished, mobile-friendly listing.

  • Use images for posters, venues, performers or attractions.
  • Add links to websites, social channels and venue directions.
  • Embed supported video links so trailers and teasers play in-page.
