Jorge Perdomo - Creator, The Fluffy Cloud
I used to look at ticketing platforms as a commodity, until I found Ticket Fairy. Finally there was a platform that didn't just get the job done, but helped me get the job done better. By which I mean, helped me sell more tickets.
Their integrated customer referral system is magic, direct backend integration with Meta APIs, and our ability to customize our ticketing pages with rich content like videos, GIFs, background skins, and more helped increase our conversions significantly.
In the past I felt we had great promotion value on our digital ads, but it ended the moment people clicked to our ticketing site. With Ticket Fairy, the vibe we are pushing, the experience we are selling, is maintained throughout.
A sophisticated and powerful ticket and marketing system that remains incredibly intuitive and easy to use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bar Event Ticketing
How can ticketing help my bar make more money?
Ticketing transforms your bar from relying on walk-ins to guaranteed revenue through pre-sales. You can bundle drinks with tickets (increasing average spend from $15 to $35+), ensure minimum attendance for live music nights, reduce no-shows for special events, and build a customer database for repeat marketing. Most bars see 25-45% revenue increases on event nights.
Can I include drinks in the ticket price?
Yes! Our drink bundling feature is perfect for bars. You can create packages like "Entry + 2 Drinks for $25" or "VIP Table + Bottle Service". This increases your average transaction value and gives customers better value. You can also offer drink tickets as add-ons during checkout or create special packages for groups and parties.
How do you handle age verification?
We have built-in age verification features including age gates during ticket purchase, ID verification requirements you can enable, clear age warnings on all event pages, and wristband management integration at check-in. This helps ensure compliance while streamlining entry for your door staff.
What types of bar events work best with ticketing?
The most successful ticketed bar events include live music and band nights, trivia and quiz competitions, themed parties (80s night, Halloween), comedy shows, game day watch parties, tasting events (whiskey, wine, craft beer), paint and sip nights, speed dating events, and holiday celebrations. Any event where you want to guarantee attendance and revenue works great with ticketing.
Is Ticket Fairy available for bars in my country?
Yes! Ticket Fairy operates globally and offers localized bar venue ticketing solutions worldwide:
Revenue & Operations
How does pricing work for happy hour events?
Our time-based pricing feature is perfect for happy hours. You can set early bird pricing (cheaper tickets before 6pm), create time-slot entry (5-7pm happy hour tickets), offer different drink packages for different times, and automatically increase prices as the event approaches. This helps you manage capacity while maximizing revenue during peak times.
Can I track which events make the most money?
Absolutely! Our analytics dashboard shows you detailed revenue by event type, average spend per customer, which promotions work best, customer demographics and repeat rates, and drink bundle performance. You'll know exactly which events to repeat and which to skip, helping you build a profitable events calendar.
How quickly do I get paid for ticket sales?
With our Stripe integration, you receive daily payouts directly to your bank account. This means better cash flow compared to waiting until after the event. You can use pre-sale revenue to stock up on inventory, pay bands in advance, or cover other event costs. Most bars love getting paid before the event even happens!
What if I need to cancel an event?
We make cancellations easy with one-click refund processing for all attendees, automatic email notifications to ticket holders, options to offer credit for future events instead of refunds, and the ability to reschedule with automatic ticket transfers. You stay in control of your refund policy and can handle any situation professionally.
Getting Started
How long does it take to set up ticketing for my bar?
You can start selling tickets in under 30 minutes! Just create your account, add your bar details and bank info, create your first event with ticket types, and share the link on social media. Our support team can help you set up drink bundles, design your event page, and optimize for maximum sales. Most bars sell their first ticket within hours of setup.
Do I need any special equipment?
No special equipment needed! Our Entry Fairy app turns any smartphone into a ticket scanner. Your door staff can use their own phones or a basic tablet. The app works offline too, so you don't need to worry about WiFi issues. For high-volume events, we can recommend professional scanners, but most bars find smartphones work perfectly.
What support do you provide?
We offer 24/7 support to ensure your events run smoothly, including onboarding assistance to set up your first events, marketing best practices to maximize sales, technical support during events, and strategic advice on pricing and packaging. Our team has helped hundreds of bars increase their event revenue, and we're here to help you succeed too.
Are there any setup fees or monthly costs?
No setup fees, no monthly fees, no hidden costs! You only pay a small fee when you sell tickets. The fee can be absorbed by you or passed to customers (most bars add it to the ticket price). This means zero risk - if you don't sell tickets, you don't pay anything. It's perfect for bars testing out events or running occasional special nights.
