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.
