Everything you need to create shows, sell tickets and extras, get your team checking in guests, and get paid — all from your FlikTix dashboard.
From your dashboard, click Create New Event. Fill in the basics — name, date, venue, description, and a poster image — then set up your ticket types below.
Each ticket type can have its own sale window — for example, an early-bird price that stops selling at a specific date and time, or a door-price tier that only unlocks the day of the show. Leave the sale dates blank if you just want it available the whole time.
Event Capacity is a hard cap. The Capacity number on the Details tab is the most tickets that can be sold for the whole show, across every ticket type combined — online and at the door. When it's reached, the show shows as sold out; a refund frees a spot back up. Each ticket type's own capacity still applies too, so set a type's capacity to the same number (or 0 for no limit) if it should be able to sell the whole room. Leave the event Capacity at 0 for no overall limit.
Sales tax. FlikTix adds sales tax to every card purchase, online or in person, at one platform-wide rate — it isn't something you turn on or off per show. Tax is charged on the ticket price only, is passed to you with your payout so you can remit it, and is returned to the buyer if a ticket is refunded. Cash sales at the door carry no tax and no FlikTix fee.
Want your first tickets to go for less? On any ticket type, tick Use quantity price tiers and say how many tickets sell at each price. The cheapest tickets go first, and the price steps up on its own as they sell.
Buyers always pay the price of the tier their ticket falls in. Someone buying 60 tickets at once pays $15 for the first 50 and $20 for the next 10 — no one has to switch anything on your side. Fans see how many are left at the current price and what it goes up to next, which is a nice nudge to buy early.
Your ticket type's total capacity is simply the tiers added together, and its price follows the first tier — so those two fields lock while tiers are on. Click + Add Tier for more steps, or ✕ to remove one.
Offer optional extras at checkout — parking, a poster, a VIP lanyard, a drink voucher. Open your event's Ticket Types tab, scroll down to Add-ons, and click + Add Add-on.
You can add a photo (upload your own — fans can tap it to see it larger) and a short description. When a limited add-on runs out it disappears from checkout, and while someone is mid-checkout their add-ons are held for them for 30 minutes so nobody gets oversold.
How you're paid: FlikTix keeps a small share of each add-on sale (the Extras tab shows the exact percentage, currently 10%) and the rest goes to your wallet the moment it's bought — Stripe organizers instantly, PayPal organizers on the event date, exactly like ticket money.
Add-ons are only sold with a ticket (a buyer needs at least one ticket in the order), and discount codes never apply to them.
Sell posters, shirts, stickers — anything you make. Open your event's Extras tab, find Merch, and click + Add Merch Item. A Buy Merch button then appears on your event page, and fans order straight from it. You make it and you ship it; FlikTix handles the checkout, the payment and the buyer emails.
Each item can have up to three photos (upload your own), a short description, and options like sizes — buyers pick a size, and can order several sizes in one go. Tick or untick On sale any time to pause an item.
Add a support email under Merch so buyers know where to get help with their orders — it's shown in the Buy Merch window and in their emails. (Leave it blank and questions go to FlikTix.)
How you're paid: FlikTix keeps a small share of the item price (the Extras tab shows the exact percentage, currently 10%). You keep the rest, plus whatever shipping you charge. A $30 tee with $6 shipping, for example, pays you $33. You're paid when the carrier confirms your package was delivered (or sooner, if your buyer confirms they got it) — Stripe organizers right away, PayPal organizers on the event date, same as ticket money.
Shipping an order: every order lands in your event's Merch Orders tab (a number on the tab shows how many are waiting) with the buyer's address and exactly what to send. You'll also get an email the moment one comes in. Ship it, pick the carrier (or leave it on auto-detect), type the tracking number and press Mark shipped. Your buyer is emailed the tracking, and the order card shows where the package is. Your money is credited when delivery is confirmed, and you'll see it in your Wallet as a Merch Sale.
Why you're paid on delivery: it protects your fans — and you. A tracking number is required, and FlikTix checks it with the carrier. When the package is delivered there's a short buffer (currently 2 days) in which the buyer can say something's wrong; after that, or the moment your buyer taps I got it in their email, you're paid. If a buyer reports a problem, or the carrier reports a delivery problem, your payment waits while FlikTix looks into it. A local courier we can't track? Choose Other carrier — you're paid when the buyer confirms, or after a set number of days if no one reports a problem.
Ship on time: you have 14 days (the Extras tab shows the exact number) to ship each order. We remind you halfway. An order that hasn't shipped by the deadline is refunded to the buyer automatically, and you aren't paid for it — so a fan is never left waiting for something that isn't coming.
Putting on a show with several acts? Invite each band or artist to sell their own merch at that show. On your event's Extras tab, under Bands & Artists, type their name and email and press Send invite. They get an email with a link; they log in (or create a free FlikTix account — their merch money is paid into that account's wallet) and accept.
What the band does: on its own Band Merch page it adds its items (photos, prices, sizes), a flat shipping charge, and a support email for buyers' questions. The support email is required — a band's merch isn't shown on your event page until it has one. The band makes and ships its own orders, adds the carrier and tracking number, and is paid into its own FlikTix wallet once delivery is confirmed. FlikTix keeps 10% of the item price (the percentage shown on your Extras tab), exactly as with your own merch.
What fans see: one Buy Merch button, with the merch grouped by seller — yours and each band's. A fan can buy from several acts in one checkout; each seller ships its own part, and each seller's support email is shown so fans know who to ask.
You can Resend an invitation that hasn't been answered, or Remove a band at any time: its merch comes off sale straight away, and any order that's already paid for stays the band's to ship. A status next to each band tells you where it's at — Invited, Accepted, or Accepted — needs a support email.
Plans change. Instead of a ticket going to waste, a fan can list it for resale from their My Tickets page (Can't go? Sell it) at or below that ticket type's current price. You don't have to do anything — it works on its own, and it's good for you: a seat that would have gone empty gets filled, and a sold-out show isn't a dead end.
How buyers get them: when anyone buys a ticket to your show, resale tickets of that type are sold first (cheapest first), then new ones — automatically, in the same checkout. Fans can also browse the public Resale Tickets page. A show whose own tickets have sold out stays buyable for as long as a resale ticket is listed.
Money: you were already paid when the ticket first sold, so nothing is paid to you a second time. The fan who resold it receives their price as FlikTix Credit once the show is over.
At the door: it's the very same ticket, just with a new holder and a brand-new QR code — the moment it's resold, the old QR stops working, so it can never be used twice. Your Attendees list always shows the person who holds it now.
Prefer no resale for a particular show? Untick Allow fans to resell tickets to this show on its Extras tab. No resale tickets are offered and no new listings can be made (anything already listed is hidden, and comes back if you switch it on again).
Running a theater show, a seated dinner, or anything with reserved spots instead of open-floor GA? Turn on Assigned Seating Event at the top of the Ticket Types tab, and any section below can have specific seat numbers instead of just a quantity.
Every section can look different. Pick from three seat-label formats depending on your venue:
A12. The most common format for theater-style seating.VIP-B-14. Useful when you have multiple named sections and want the section spelled out on every ticket.Seat 42. For a single block of numbered seats with no meaningful row structure.Capacity for a seating-enabled section is calculated automatically from your row/seat grid — you don't set it by hand. If a few seats are obstructed-view, comped for the band, or otherwise not for sale, list them under Block/Comp Seats and they'll never appear as available to buyers.
Instead of a quantity stepper, buyers get a live seat map for that section — available seats are open, taken seats are grayed out, and clicking a seat holds it for them for a few minutes while they finish checking out, so two people can't accidentally buy the same seat.
Once purchased, the seat shows up prominently on the buyer's PDF ticket, in your Attendees list, and at check-in — so your door staff can direct people straight to their seat without extra guesswork.
Every event has an Attendees tab in your dashboard showing everyone who's bought a ticket — searchable by name or email, filterable by ticket type or status.
Need to give someone a free ticket — a band member, press, a giveaway winner? Click + Comp Ticket, enter their name and email, and it's issued instantly with a real PDF ticket and QR code, same as a paid purchase.
You can also export the list as a CSV, print a physical door list, or email your whole attendee list at once. The attendee count always reflects genuinely valid tickets — void and refunded tickets are never counted, no matter which filter you have selected.
The Door / Check-In tab is where you handle check-in on the night of the show — both for yourself and anyone helping you at the door.
Select a show, then click "📷 Open Scanner" to launch the actual door app — it opens straight to a full alphabetical guest list with a Check In button next to each name, and a Scan tab at the top if you'd rather scan QR codes from tickets directly.
Bringing on door staff? Two options: add a staff account (they need an existing FlikTix login) for standing access any time, or generate a one-off door access code/link for a volunteer who doesn't want an account. Check the "all my current and future shows" box if they'll be helping at every event, not just this one.
Selling tickets at the door. The door app has a Sell tab (also reachable from the 💵 Door Sales button on your Door / Check-In tab). Staff tap + on each ticket type, see the total, then take payment:
Set a Door price per ticket type in the Ticket Types tab (for example $15 advance, $20 at the door); leave it blank to charge the advance price. Anyone who can check people in can sell, and checks the new guests in on the spot if they choose. Open Door totals at the bottom of the Sell tab to see presale, cash and card sales for the night. Assigned-seating sections are sold online only. The event's Capacity is enforced at the door too.
Anyone with staff access logs in and goes to My Check-Ins to see every show they can check people into.
Bringing on a partner, manager, or booking agent? The Co-Hosts tab lets you give someone full view access to your events, attendees, and analytics — without letting them make any changes. They can't comp or void tickets, email attendees, manage check-in staff, or touch your wallet.
Choose the scope when you add someone: All Shows gives them access to every event you run, now and in the future. Or pick one specific event from the dropdown to limit them to just that show — handy for a one-off collaborator who doesn't need to see your whole catalog.
Once added, they'll see a "Viewing As" selector appear in their own sidebar — letting them switch between your dashboard and any others they co-host for, or their own if they're an organizer too.
Know another promoter who'd do well on FlikTix? The Referrals tab gives you a unique link to share — when someone signs up through it and their first show actually happens with a real ticket sold, you get a $10 cash bonus, sent straight to your wallet.
Share your link anywhere — text, social, email. Anyone who signs up through it shows up in your Referrals tab with a status: Pending first sale while they're getting set up, then Qualified and Rewarded once their first show actually happens with a valid ticket sold.
Running a show at a venue that takes a cut of the door? Co-promoting with someone else? The Payout Routing tab lets you send some or all of a show's money to another FlikTix account automatically — no manual Venmo after the night's over.
Nothing routes anywhere until the account you're linking to approves the request from their own dashboard — so a link can't move money without both sides agreeing to it first.
Once linked, route Ticket Sales and your $1/ticket incentive independently — either as your account-wide default, or overridden for just one show from that event's Extras tab. Two ways to split either stream:
Paying several artists or bands. In the show's editor, under Payout Routing → Artist / Band Payouts, add a row for each linked person and choose how they're paid:
You keep whatever is left, plus all sales tax. Percentages can't total more than 100%, each person can be listed once, and everyone must be an approved linked account. While any artists are listed, they replace the single "Ticket Sales →" routing for that show. Every artist gets their own payout, and if a ticket is refunded each one is charged back exactly what that ticket paid them.
Every ticket sale credits your Wallet tab automatically — the full ticket price plus a $1 incentive per ticket sold. FlikTix's service fee is charged to the buyer, never deducted from you.
Pick how that money actually reaches you from the Wallet tab — two options, with different timing:
Stripe requires connecting a bank account or debit card — click Continue Setup on your Wallet tab and follow Stripe's prompts to verify your identity. Once connected, every sale pays out immediately, instantly to a supported debit card or in 1–2 business days as a standard bank transfer.
PayPal just needs your PayPal email — no connection flow required. Money doesn't move per sale, though: it builds up and pays out once, on the date of each show. That's deliberate — PayPal has no way to automatically pull a payout back the way Stripe can, so waiting until the event date means a refund requested beforehand can simply be cancelled before any money moves, rather than needing to be clawed back afterward. The tradeoff is no early cashflow from advance sales if you're on PayPal.
Anyone with a FlikTix account — not just organizers — can earn money sharing your events. It's automatic: there's nothing you need to turn on, and it never costs you anything.
Anyone can grab their own code from their Wallet tab and append it to any event's URL as ?aff=CODE. When someone buys a ticket through that link, the affiliate earns a percentage of the ticket price, credited automatically to their wallet.
Upload a mailing list and invite people in a specific city to a show, directly from the Invite Fans tab — no separate email tool needed.
Your CSV needs email, name, and city columns — uploading again later updates existing contacts instead of creating duplicates, so your list only grows. Pick a show and a city, and an invite (your event's image, date, and ticket link) is generated automatically — edit the subject and message before sending if you want to add your own voice.
Emails go out gradually rather than all at once — roughly 25 every 15 minutes, shared across the whole platform — to keep deliverability healthy. A large list can take several hours to fully send; check back on the Invite Fans tab to see progress, and every email includes a working unsubscribe link.
Your public profile page is where fans discover you — it lists your upcoming shows automatically and can include a bio, photos, and links to your social media.
Edit yours anytime from your dashboard under Edit Profile — upload a cover photo and avatar, write your bio, add social links, and upload photos to your gallery.
Every event page also has a Share button so fans can post directly to Facebook or X, or copy a link — the more your shows get shared, the more tickets you sell.
