Recognition

Sound familiar?

  • Manual ticket sales and entry checks eating organiser time?

  • No visibility into which channels are actually driving sales?

  • Attendees showing up with duplicate or fake tickets?

The short answer

eventRaft is a mobile and web platform for event organizers. It handles online ticket sales with multiple ticket types and pricing tiers, QR code entry verification, attendee communications via email and push notifications, and real-time sales analytics. Organizations use it to run events from a few dozen to thousands of attendees without third-party ticketing fees.

Why event organizers are switching to digital ticketing

Manual ticketing costs you hours. Eventraft moves tickets, entry, and attendee comms online.

Before Eventraft
  • Manual ticket sales are time-consuming
  • Fake tickets and gate crashers
  • Can't communicate with attendees
  • No visibility into sales performance
After Eventraft
  • Instant online ticket sales
  • QR code verification at entry
  • Direct attendee communication
  • Real-time analytics dashboard
In practice

A tech conference sold out 2,300 tickets in 9 days using eventRaft. QR verification cut gate entry time by 62%. Refunds dropped 35% after switching to automated attendee communications.

Before eventRAFT, that 2,300-ticket conference ran on a mix of Eventbrite (5% per ticket plus £0.99) and a Google Form for VIP invites. Setup took three weeks of copy-paste between tools. With eventRAFT, the same setup ran in two days and the fee dropped to internal payment-processing only. The same playbook runs across other products we've shipped and our mobile app development work.

FAQs

Yes. Our scanner supports offline queues and syncs when connectivity returns.
Flexible options. For pilots, pay per ticket. For scale, pick flat event pricing.
Organizers can optionally allow secure transfers with updated QR verification.
Yes. Stripe and major regional gateways are supported out of the box. Funds settle directly to your account with no platform middleman.
Most organizers have their first event live within 2-3 business days. Account setup, branding, and ticket configuration are all self-serve with guided onboarding.
You do. Attendee names, emails, and purchase data belong to your organization and are exportable at any time. We do not sell or share your attendee list.
eventRAFT works at small scale too. A 100-person event might run around £200 on flat per-event pricing, versus roughly £500 lost to Eventbrite's per-ticket cut at typical ticket prices. The bigger savings start around 500+ tickets, where the per-ticket fee model from major platforms starts to bite. Under 100 attendees with a free event, the free tier on hosted platforms is usually cheaper, so we'd say so.
