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.

Season Ticket Software for Fall 2026: Subscriptions, Reserved Seating & Renewals
-

Fall subscription sales are the single biggest revenue moment for most performing arts organizations. Season packages, member renewals, and early access windows all open between July and September. So the season ticket software you pick this summer decides how the fall series actually sells. This guide covers what season ticket software needs to do in 2026, how to configure it for a theater, symphony, or concert series, and what SimpleTix costs for season-driven event programs. What season ticket software actually needs to do Selling season tickets is nothing like selling single-event tickets. First, one subscriber buys 4 to 20 events in a single package. Second, seats need to lock across the entire season. Third, renewals from prior subscribers happen weeks before the general public gets access. And fourth, add-ons like parking, pre-show dinner, and backstage passes attach to the subscription, not the event. So the operational checklist for season ticket software looks like this: Season pass or subscription products that group multiple events into one purchase Reserved seating with locked seats across the whole season, so the subscriber sits in the same seat every night Priority access windows for existing subscribers before general on-sale Payment plans or full-payment options so patrons can split large subscription costs Renewal workflows that let last year's subscribers re-up with one click Comp ticket management for donors, sponsors, and press seats Membership tiers with different pricing, benefits, and priority access Reporting by subscriber, not just by event If your current tool cannot handle these, you are probably running Excel spreadsheets on the side and losing renewals every year. What is season ticket software? Season ticket software is a ticketing platform designed to sell multi-event packages (season subscriptions) alongside individual tickets, with reserved seat continuity, subscriber priority access, and renewal workflows built in. The core difference...
Holiday Event Ticketing Software: Timed Entry, Reserved Seating & Capacity Control for...

If you run a holiday event, you are booking dates now. So the ticketing platform you pick this month determines how November and December actually go. This guide covers what holiday event ticketing software needs to do in 2026, how to configure it for the season crunch, and what SimpleTix costs for holiday events of any size. What holiday event ticketing software needs to do Holiday events compress a whole year of sales into six weeks. First, most tickets sell in a 4 to 8 week window between mid-November and January 1. Second, weather cancels outdoor events without warning. Third, family groups buy 4 to 8 tickets in one order, not 1. And fourth, capacity is measured per time slot, not per venue. So the ticketing checklist for holiday operators looks like this: Timed entry with per-slot capacity for drive-throughs, walk-throughs, and Santa visits Reserved seating for holiday theater, Nutcracker, and holiday concerts Group and family bundles so a family of six is one checkout, not six Fast scanning at the gate, including offline mode for cold outdoor venues Waitlists for when peak-hour slots sell out Add-ons for hot chocolate, photo packages, VIP tiers, and holiday merch Automated email reminders so guests do not forget their timed slot Same-day payouts to fund the season's operational costs If your current tool cannot do all of that, October is too late to switch. Move now. How do timed entry tickets work for holiday events? 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 one 6pm surge. For a Christmas light drive-through with a 45-minute route, that usually means 30 to 60 vehicles per 15-minute window. Over a 5-hour evening, you can process 600 to 1,200...
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...
