Get Paid to Share SimpleTix: How the Ambassador Referral Program Works
We just launched the SimpleTix Ambassador Referral Program. If you already use SimpleTix and tell other event organizers about it, you can now earn $100 for every qualified referral.
No application. No waiting. If you’ve sold 100 or more paid tickets on SimpleTix, you’re already in.
How it works
The program is built around a unique referral link tied to your account. Here’s the step-by-step:
1. Grab your referral link
If eligible, log into your Manager Portal. Scroll to the footer and look for Refer & Earn $100. That’s where your unique link lives.
2. Share it with other event organizers
Trade shows, industry groups, LinkedIn, local organizer communities, group chats — anywhere you talk shop with people who run events. The key detail: referrals only get credited when someone signs up through your link. Word-of-mouth is great, but the link is what gets you paid.
3. Earn $100 when they qualify
When a referred organizer sells 50 or more paid tickets through SimpleTix, they’re qualified. Our team will reach out to you directly to arrange your $100 payout. There’s no cap on how many referrals you can make.
Who qualifies
You’re automatically enrolled if you’ve sold 100+ paid tickets on SimpleTix. No application form, no approval process. If you’re eligible, your referral link is live right now in your Manager Portal.
Track your referrals in real time
Every click and signup from your link is tracked in your dashboard. You can watch each referral move through three stages:
- Signed Up — they created an account through your link
- Event Published — they set up their first event
- Qualified — they’ve sold 50+ paid tickets, and you’ve earned your payout
Full transparency, no black box.
Why we built this
Word-of-mouth has always been one of the biggest drivers of SimpleTix growth. Our best customers are already recommending us in their networks — at conferences, in Facebook groups, over text with other venue operators.
This program puts real money behind those recommendations. If you’re already telling people about SimpleTix, you should get paid for it.
Tips for getting referrals
Be specific about your setup
Don’t just say “use SimpleTix.” Tell people what kind of events you run and which features matter to you. A farm operator explaining how timed entry handles fall weekends is 10x more convincing than a generic recommendation.
Share when it’s relevant
The best time to refer is when someone asks what ticketing platform you use, or when they’re complaining about fees on their current one. That’s the natural opening.
Use the link, not just the name
This is the most common mistake. If someone signs up on their own after you told them about SimpleTix, it won’t count as your referral. Always share the link.
What SimpleTix costs (for your referrals to know)
When you’re referring someone, they’ll want to know the basics:
- $0.79 + 2% per ticket — that’s it
- No contracts and no subscriptions
- No fees on free events
- Same-day payouts through Stripe, Square, or PayPal
- Fees can be passed to attendees or absorbed by the organizer
That pricing pitch practically sells itself compared to Eventbrite’s 3.7% + $1.79 per ticket plus 2.9% payment processing.
Get started
Log into Manager Portal, scroll to the footer, and grab your referral link. Start sharing it today — there’s no limit to how much you can earn.

Eventbrite Pricing 2026: Fees, Refunds & What’s Actually Changed

Eventbrite pricing 2026 is a lot for event organizers to sort through. There are longstanding policies that quietly cost paid-event operators real money, and there is genuine news under new ownership. This guide covers what the fees actually cost you today, what actually changed under the Bending Spoons acquisition, and how the alternatives compare on real numbers. Below is the honest breakdown, sourced to Eventbrite's own pricing page and SEC filings. Eventbrite pricing 2026: current fee structure As of 2026, Eventbrite charges 3.7% + $1.79 per paid ticket for the service fee, plus 2.9% for payment processing. In-person sales carry a $1 + 2.9% fee. There is no per-ticket fee cap. For a quick benchmark of total organizer-side fees: On a $25 ticket, fees total about $3.44 (13.8%) On a $50 ticket, fees total about $5.09 (10.2%) On a $100 ticket, fees total about $8.39 (8.4%) On a $500 ticket, fees total about $34.79 (7.0%) On a $1,000 ticket, fees total about $67.79 (6.8%) The fees scale with ticket price with no ceiling. That is the story for anyone selling premium tickets, season passes, VIP tiers, or corporate packages. Eventbrite pricing 2026: no per-ticket fee cap Eventbrite does not cap total ticket fees. This has been true since 2018, when Eventbrite removed the previous cap during its IPO. For most organizers selling everyday tickets ($20 to $50), the absence of a cap rarely comes up in the math. But for organizers selling premium tickets, the uncapped structure translates into real per-event cost. Take a conference selling three ticket tiers on Eventbrite: $150 general admission: fee about $12.34 (8.2%) $400 VIP ticket: fee about $27.09 (6.8%) $800 sponsor ticket: fee about $50.90 (6.4%) For a 200-person conference with a mix of GA and VIP tickets, that translates into hundreds of dollars...
Haunted House Ticketing Software: Timed Entry, Scanning & Capacity Control for 2026
-
by
If you run a haunted attraction, October is your Super Bowl. So how you sell tickets from June through September decides how the whole season goes. This guide covers what haunted house ticketing software actually needs to do in 2026, how to pick one, and what SimpleTix costs for haunts of any size. What haunted house ticketing software needs to do Selling haunted house tickets is not like selling concert tickets. First, capacity is measured in throughput per hour, not in seats. Second, weather can shut you down without warning. Third, most of your revenue happens across three or four weekends. And fourth, your staff is often in costume at 9pm in a field with spotty cell service. So the ticketing software has to handle all of that. Here is the checklist most haunt operators use: Timed entry with per-slot capacity control so lines stay manageable Fast scanning at the gate, including offline mode for outdoor venues Re-entry passes for multi-attraction ticketing Add-ons for photos, upcharges, VIP fast-pass Group and family bundles so a family of five is one checkout, not five Waitlists for when peak-hour slots sell out Attendee wallet passes so guests are not fumbling for paper Same-day or fast payouts during the season crunch If your current tool cannot do all of that, it is worth switching now. The last thing you want is to be debugging your ticketing at 8pm on the first weekend of October. How does timed entry work for haunted houses? Timed entry lets you release a fixed number of tickets per time slot (typically every 15 or 30 minutes) so guests arrive in waves instead of a single 7pm crush. For a walkthrough haunt with a 45-minute experience, that usually means 20 to 40 guests per 15-minute window. So over a four-hour...
Partiful Just Launched Ticketing: What Event Organizers Need to Know
-
by
Partiful just launched ticketing. As of June 2, 2026, hosts can now sell tickets directly inside the Partiful app on iOS, Android, and web. Initially, the feature is rolling out to U.S. hosts. Then broader availability is planned in the coming months. If you have run events before, you probably already know Partiful. It is the social-first invitation platform with millions of monthly active users. Until now, every paid event on Partiful had to push guests off-platform to actually buy a ticket. So this launch closes that gap. But here is the question every event organizer needs to ask. Is Partiful's new ticketing the right platform for your event? Or is it built for a different kind of host? Below is the honest breakdown. What Partiful Ticketing actually does Partiful's launch covers the basics every casual social host needs: Ticket tiers with multiple pricing levels Capacity limits to cap attendance Promo codes for special guest pricing QR code check-in at the door SMS notifications to attendees Staff permissions so bouncers or co-hosts can check guests in Sales tracking for real-time payouts and attendance Also, payment processing runs through Stripe. Then payouts are available roughly three days after the event ends. Meanwhile, free tickets carry no fees. Paid ticket fees scale with event size and ticket price. So Partiful shows hosts the exact fee during setup, and hosts can pass it on or absorb it. CEO Shreya Murthy framed the launch this way: "Ticketing has always lived outside the social experience of an event — you buy a ticket somewhere else, then figure out who's going. We think that's backwards." So if your event lives or dies on word of mouth and the "who else is going" dynamic, Partiful's pitch is real. The platform is built around social discovery, dynamic invites,...
