The short answer
You do not need a website to sell tickets. On One Ticket you describe the event, publish, and get a page at a short address like oneticket.com.au/e/your-event. It shows the date, the venue on a map, the ticket types and what each costs, takes the card, and emails each buyer a ticket with a QR code.
That link is the thing you share: in an Instagram bio, as the button on a Facebook event, in a WhatsApp group, in a newsletter. It is built to be shared, so the cover and the title show when the link is pasted into a chat. For posters and flyers there is a printable QR that opens the same page.
If you run more than one event, your organiser page lists every upcoming one on a single address, with your logo, a banner and links to your socials. It is free to set up and there is no platform fee on the ticket price: the buyer pays a booking fee at checkout, and free tickets cost nobody anything.

House Concert in the Lounge Room
House concert, 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.
- An entry ticket capped at thirty
- A chair question at checkout
- The waitlist for a full room
Which fits your event?
Start from the one requirement that decides it.
| Your main requirement | Start with |
|---|---|
| A dozen people you know, paying cash on the night | No page at all; a message is enough |
| A one-off event with paid tickets and a cap | An event page with its own link, on One Ticket |
| Something that runs every week or every month | A series page with every date on it, on One Ticket |
| A business that already has a busy website | Your site, with a button that links to the event page |
A website is still worth having for a business. For an event, the event page is the website.
How it works in practice
The event page carries your colours and logo. Our brand stays out of the way.
| What a website would do | What does it instead |
|---|---|
| Say what the event is | The event page: cover, description, date, a map of the venue |
| Take the money | Card checkout, paid into your own Stripe account |
| Send the ticket | An email with a QR code and a calendar file |
| List everything you run | Your organiser page, one address for all of it |
| Be found | A short link, a share card that renders, and a QR for flyers |
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 |
Common questions
- Do I need a domain name to sell tickets?
- No. Every event gets an address on oneticket.com.au, and old addresses keep working if you rename the event.
- Can I put the ticket page on my own website later?
- Yes. Link a button on your site to the event page or to your organiser page. Nothing about the tickets changes.
- How do people find the page without a website?
- Through the link you share. Paste it into Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp or an email, or print the QR on a flyer.
- Is there a monthly cost?
- No. There is no subscription and no setup fee. Paid tickets carry a booking fee the buyer pays, and free tickets are free.
