How do you sell tickets online for an event?

You need three things: one or more ticket types with a price and an availability, a payment system connected to your account, and a ticket someone can validate at the door. On YUMEYU you create the ticket types in the event page, payments run through Stripe, and every ticket is issued named and with its own QR code.

Revenue paid out to your Stripe account, not held indefinitely.

The three decisions to make

The technical part is short. What matters are the choices you make before sales open.

How many ticket types

Each type has its own price and availability: full, reduced, early bird, reserved seats.

  • Separate availability per type
  • Types sell out independently
  • Sold out state when nothing is left

Who is actually attending

Tickets are named: an order of four seats produces four distinct attendee names.

  • First name prefilled from your account
  • Gift ticket when buying for someone else
  • One QR per person, not per order

When the money arrives

Revenue is paid out after the event has taken place, not at the moment of sale.

  • Platform fee of 3%
  • Refunds handled before payout
  • Payout held while support tickets are open

What it keeps from going wrong

Online selling tends to fail in the same places: payments that do not reconcile, duplicated tickets and revenue nobody can trace.

Payments tracked by Stripe, not handled by hand

One named ticket per attendee

Refunds and support resolved before payout

Opening sales in three steps

The first is done once, the other two for every event.

Connect your payout account

From the merchant settings you connect your Stripe account. This is the step that unlocks selling: without it, the ticketing section of the event stays locked.

Create the ticket types

In the event page you define ticket types with a price and a number of seats. You can have a single one or several, each with its own availability.

Publish and watch the sales

From that point the public page shows the price and the buy button. Every confirmed order issues the named tickets with their QR codes.

Complex pricing or sales across several channels?

Memberships, agreements, association fees, physical pre-sales: if your model is not the classic single ticket, it is worth setting it up together before you start.

Frequently asked questions

The platform fee is 3% of the amount, on top of the fees Stripe applies for processing the payment. The rest is paid out to your account.

Open sales with the rules clear from the start

Ticket types, names and refunds decided upfront are worth more than any campaign run later.
