With Sticky Tickets, you only pay for what you need. There is just one small booking fee per ticket sold- no percentage payments or hidden costs.
The booking fee is calculated on the price of your tickets, and you choose whether to add this to the customer’s ticket price, or to simply deduct it from your ticket sales. If you hold an event which is free to attend, then no booking fees apply at all.
Please refer to our Pricing Schedule for further details.

To save on unnecessary expenses, many of our customers use our event registration software and merchant account to sell tickets for their events. When you buy one of these tickets, your credit card statement will show Sticky Tickets as the merchant (rather than the name of the event).
If you would like to know which event the purchase was for, please send through the following information using our contact us page
· First six and last three digits of your credit card number
· Date of transaction
· Amount of transaction
Once we receive this information we’ll contact you via email within 48 hours.

GST obligations must be handled by the event organiser. If you select Registered for GST, then remember to include a charge for GST when setting your ticket prices. All funds will be transferred to you (less booking fees).
When a ticket is purchased, a tax invoice will be sent to the purchaser itemising the GST component of the ticket price. If you don’t select Registered for GST then a receipt will be sent to the purchaser which will state that there is no GST in the ticket price.
Please note: Sticky Tickets includes GST in the booking fee. Once you have successfully completed your event, you will be sent a receipt for the total booking fees paid including GST. You can claim this GST in your next BAS.

All revenue from your ticket sales is deposited directly into your nominated bank account (minus booking fees) at the conclusion of your event.*
We do however understand that funds are sometimes needed before an event is held to pay suppliers, therefore you can apply for the Payment Request Feature and request a portion of your ticket sales in advance. There is an application fee of $49 incl. GST payable per organiser. If approved, all of your events will have this feature.

If you have any questions about this or any other topic, please contact us at support any time and we'd be more than happy to assist.
Yes! There are several ways you can do this:
* There is no need to print tickets. Add a note to your event letting ticket purchasers know that they do not need to print out their e-Tickets. They can either have them scanned on their mobile device at the entrance, or show the ticket on their mobile device to have their name checked off.
* There is no need to print reports. Keep all of your reports online - they are updated automatically with each purchase.
* Send invitations electronically
* Set up recycling stations at your event
* If your event is held annually do not print the date on the promotional material, so you can use extras again next year.
Once you have finished entering/updating the details of your event, you are now ready to schedule on when your event go live or make it 'live' right away to begin advertising/selling tickets online. Until your event is Live, this will display a 'Pending' or 'Scheduled' status, which means it will not appear online and people will not be able to buy tickets. You will still be able to make changes to the event details.
To find out how to make your event live, please watch this short video or follow the steps below:
If you are not ready to make your event live, you can use the Save For Later button to save your current changes and return to the event list page.
1. Use the Preview link to view your event page as ticket purchasers will see it
2. Click Make Event Live button and choose whether you make the event live now or schedule it for later

Organisers often like to offer promotional group/bundled tickets such as:
- Buy one, get one free
- Group of 10 Tickets
- Buy one, get one 50% off
Bundling tickets and offering deals at reduced rates encourages ticket sales. To create these tickets, you will need to use the Group Ticket type.
A. Ticket Type: Select 'Group Ticket' or 'Group Reserved Seating Ticket' (if you have a seating plan)
B. Ticket Name: What you would like to name the ticket
C. Group Size: This indicates how many tickets you want to generate for each purchase of this ticket type. For example, if you are selling "Buy 1, Get 1 Free", then you're selling 2 tickets for this, therefore your group size is 2.
D. Price: Set the price you want to sell this ticket as a group.
E. Ticket Capacity: This indicates how many tickets you would like to sell for this ticket type. Make sure to use a number that is divisible by this number you set for group size field. (ie if the ticket group size is 2, make sure the ticket capacity is an even number).
F. Max Per Order: Set how many sets of this ticket type you want to sell.
G. Start Selling: Sets when you would like to start selling this ticket type
H. Stop Selling: Sets when you would like to stop selling this ticket type
I. Show Tickets Remaining: If you would like the number of tickets remaining to show on your event page. If you do not want to display the remaining tickets left for this ticket type, you can leave it blank
J. Show Tickets Remaining (Event Level) - You can specify the number you want to use as the threshold for your ticket capacity. This will display on your event page indicating the number of tickets remaining once the unsold tickets reaches this number or less. Note: If you don't want to show the number of tickets remaining, you can leave this blank.
K. Allow App Sales: When checked, this will allow any event operators to sell this ticket type through the scanning app
L. Code Required: When checked, this will hide this ticket type once the promotion code link to it is entered.
