Built in Wales
Ticketmaster, Eventbrite, and See Tickets pocket billions in fees, pay virtually zero tax, and funnel profits to shareholders. There is a better way.
You set the booking fee. We take just 10% of it. 20% of our cut goes to charity.
The biggest ticketing platforms have spent decades building monopolies — charging extortionate fees, locking venues into long-term contracts, and routing billions of pounds in profit through tax structures that would make your accountant weep.
"Service fees" that dwarf the actual cost of processing a payment. Exclusive venue contracts that lock you in for years with no alternative. Dynamic pricing that surges at the moment of peak demand.
On a £20 ticket, that's £1.19 per ticket — plus their platform percentage. Run 500 tickets and you've handed them £595 for nothing more than hosting a form. Their CEO earned $3.8M in 2022.
Commission-based models that punish you for success. 1–3 year exclusive contracts. Booking fees passed to your customers that erode trust in your brand, not theirs.
No technical skills required. No contract to sign. No card needed to start. From zero to selling in under two minutes.
Log in, click "New Event", add your name, date, venue, and description. Set your ticket types — general admission, VIP, early bird, group bookings. Choose your charity. Done. The whole thing takes about two minutes.
Every event gets a clean, branded ticket page you can share directly — on social media, in newsletters, wherever your audience is. Or use the embeddable widget to drop a full ticketing flow right onto your own website. Your brand, not ours.
Need a website? Our sister company SE Digital builds premium websites from just £395 — designed to work seamlessly with TocynTicket.
Buyers complete their purchase using card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay — powered by Stripe, the world's most trusted payment infrastructure. Funds are processed securely and payouts made on a regular schedule.
The moment a ticket is purchased, your customer receives a beautifully formatted e-ticket by email — featuring your event name, venue, date, and artwork alongside TocynTicket branding. Each ticket carries a unique QR code for door scanning. No manual work required on your part whatsoever.
No dedicated scanning hardware. No paid app to download. Any smartphone camera can scan QR codes at the door via your event dashboard. Invalid or duplicate tickets are flagged instantly. See real-time check-in analytics as your event fills up.
No hidden fees. No monthly subscriptions. You set your own booking fee — we simply take 10% of it. And 20% of our cut goes straight to charity.

All figures are estimates based on publicly available information. Competitor pricing may vary by event type, volume, and negotiated contract terms. TocynTicket's fee is fixed regardless of ticket price. Stripe payment processing fees (typically 1.4% + 20p for European cards) are separate and charged by Stripe directly — we take nothing on top.

Every platform is making money. The question is: where does it go? Ticketmaster sends it to Liberty Media executives. Eventbrite sends it to San Francisco venture capitalists. We send 20% of every single booking fee to charitable causes we believe in.
That's not a rounding error or a PR exercise. It's structural. Built into the pricing from day one. 20% of our platform fee goes directly to a registered charity — your local foodbank, your community sports club, your music education charity.
20% of our platform fee goes to charity — not ours. We choose causes that make a real difference locally.
We select charities that matter to our communities — local causes, grassroots organisations, and charities doing real work in Wales and beyond.
Transparent quarterly donation reports published publicly. Every penny accounted for. No vague "we donated to good causes" language.
Your event page displays the supported charity so buyers know their booking fee is doing something meaningful.
Eligible charities must be registered with the Charity Commission for England & Wales, or equivalent. We validate each charity before your event goes live. We donate quarterly and publish full breakdowns on our website.
Single-venue ticketing is the easy part. TocynTicket is being designed from the ground up to handle the layered complexity of festivals — multiple stages, multiple days, add-ons, access tiers, and large volumes of simultaneous scanning at multiple gates.
No credit card. No contract. No technical setup. Just your event details and a Stripe account (free to create). That's all you need.
