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.

How Vala’s Pumpkin Patch Scaled to 100K+ Visitors with SimpleTix If you run a busy fall attraction, you already know the pressure: ticketing has to keep up when demand spikes, guests arrive in waves, and lines move fast. That is exactly what Vala’s Pumpkin Patch faced as it grew into Nebraska’s premier fall destination with more than 100,000 visitors each season. Founded in 1984, Vala’s Pumpkin Patch now draws huge crowds across 50+ attractions and multiple food stands. However, growth exposed weak spots in its old setup. Peak-morning surges strained the system, one technical admin became a bottleneck, and layered tools made operations harder than they needed to be. For Vala’s, the move to SimpleTix was about getting one reliable system for admissions, season passes, bookings, and on-site sales. Why Vala’s needed better farm ticketing software Dan McDonald, MS, PMP, IT Manager at Vala’s Pumpkin Patch, put it plainly: “We originally used a ticketing platform that served us well in our early years, but as our guest volume grew, it could no longer scale to meet demand.” That issue showed up in a few clear ways. First, the system struggled during peak-morning ticket surges. In other words, the exact time the platform mattered most was the time it became risky. Second, operations depended too heavily on one technical administrator. As a result, routine changes and troubleshooting could pile up around one person. Third, the team had to work across multiple layered applications. That created extra steps, more training, and more chances for something to break during the busiest weeks of the season. Finally, outdoor hardware added another challenge. Farm attractions do not run in perfect indoor conditions, so tools need to work in real weather and real crowds. The bottlenecks were operational, not just technical Vala’s wasn’t just trying to...

Eventbrite Alternatives for 2026: Comparing SimpleTix, TicketSpice, Ticket Tailor, and TicketLeap If you’re looking for Eventbrite alternatives, you probably have a pretty specific problem: the fees feel too high, or the platform just doesn’t fit the way you actually run events. You don’t need more software for the sake of it. You need a ticketing platform that fits your event setup, works for your staff, and makes sense for your budget. This guide compares a few commonly compared options for 2026: SimpleTix, TicketSpice, Ticket Tailor, and TicketLeap. Instead of doing a feature dump, we’ll look at which type of organizer each one may fit best. What to look for in an Eventbrite alternative Before comparing platforms, get clear on what matters most for your event operation. For most organizers, it comes down to five things. 1. Fees that don’t eat your margin If you run low-cost tickets, fundraisers, seasonal events, or family attractions, fees add up fast. A platform can look fine on paper and still become expensive once volume picks up. SimpleTix keeps pricing straightforward: $0.79 + 2% per ticket, with no contracts, no subscriptions, and no fees on free events. You can also pass fees to attendees or absorb them yourself. 2. Ticketing that fits how you run events You may need more than basic GA tickets: timed entry, reserved seating, memberships, season passes, promo bundles, or waivers. That’s where differences between platforms start to show. Some are built around simpler setups. Others are better suited for venues, attractions, or recurring programs. 3. Easy check-in for staff On event day, check-in needs to be simple. Fast scanning, offline mode, and clear staff permissions can make operations smoother. 4. Tools for in-person sales If you sell at the gate, box office, or front desk, you’ll want to know whether...
