The short answer
On One Ticket, sell the live room with a cap and a QR on every ticket. For listeners elsewhere, connect Zoom and a meeting link is generated automatically for the online event, or paste a Google Meet, Teams or YouTube link; the join link is on the ticket and in the reminder the day before, and only people who bought are sent it.
Plans change. Message everyone booked from the event when the guest is confirmed, the doors move to 6.30 or the room changes, and they hear it in their inbox, not on a story they might miss. The reminder the day before sends the ticket again.
When the edit is done, send the recording link to everyone who booked, in person and online, from the event. People who could not come still got what they paid for, and they come back for the next one.

Live Podcast Recording
Live podcast recording, already set up as an event you can open now. Pick a date and a venue, change what you like, and publish. Nothing is saved until you do, and you can start without an account.
- A live audience ticket capped at the room
- Questions for the guest at checkout
- The waitlist when it fills
Which fits your event?
Start from the one requirement that decides it.
| Your main requirement | Start with |
|---|---|
| A free stream for anyone | A link in a post |
| A live room with a cap | In-person tickets, on One Ticket |
| Listeners who cannot be there | An online event, with Zoom or any meeting link, on One Ticket |
| A replay for people who missed it | The recording link, sent to everyone who booked |
The guest list changes, the start time moves. The people who bought have to hear about it.
How it works in practice
You need your own account with Zoom, Google Meet or whichever service you use; nothing here is a claim about their plans.
| When | What reaches them |
|---|---|
| They book | A ticket: a QR, or the Zoom link |
| A detail changes | One message to everyone booked |
| The day before | The reminder, with the ticket again |
| After the edit | The recording link |
| The morning after | Who came and who was new, in your inbox |
One Ticket for a recurring room
Everything below follows from one decision: a series is one object, not a list of dates.
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Who came back | After every session: how many came, how many had been before, who is new and who has stopped coming, by name, with an address to write to |
| Subscriptions | One subscription covers every session in a series. Each night's ticket is minted ahead of time |
| Paid out | Every ticket is charged to your own Stripe account. A new account is paid out to your bank two days after each event, once guests have said how it went; after a first clean event it is paid out as it sells |
| Fees | No platform fee on the ticket price. The buyer pays a booking fee: a platform tier of 35c to $1.45 a ticket, then 1.5% of the price above $100, plus card processing. On a $25 ticket that is $1.45 all in, so the buyer pays $26.45. Free tickets cost nothing |
| Refund if it changes | Move the date, start time or place after people have booked and every one of them can refund in full, booking fee included, until it starts, whatever your refund policy says. You are warned before you save, and everyone booked is emailed the new details |
| Refund requests | On a case-by-case event the buyer asks from their ticket. You have 3 days to refund or decline; a request nobody answers goes to One Ticket support, and your payouts are held until it is settled |
| Guest ratings | After each event, ticket holders rate it: stars and a few words. From 5 ratings the average shows under your name on every event page, good or bad. Notes are for you alone, and never say who wrote them |
| Scam protection | Every page is read before it can send an email, and our emails carry none of an organiser's own links or phone numbers. A new organiser's money is held until after the event, and anyone can report an event from its page |
| Verified tick | Earned by selling here: 3 past events, 25 tickets, no chargebacks, no ignored refund requests, and an average of 4 stars once there are 10 ratings. A chargeback or an ignored request takes it away at once |
| Block a person | Block an address from a ticket type, for this event or every one after it. No public list, no conversation at the door |
| Your page | Your colours, your title font, your cover. Nobody else's event on it |
| Import | Paste an Eventbrite link and the title, description, date, venue and ticket types come across |
| Not included | A marketplace. There is no search page and no audience to sell into; the people are the ones you bring |
