Event ticketing for fun runs and races, from early-bird entries to race day

7 reasons race directors choose One Ticket

1. Early-bird entries. Set entries to rise in price on a date, a number of days before, or once so many have entered.
2. Every distance its own entry. Sell 5 km, 10 km and kids’ entries as ticket types, each with its own price and cap.
3. What you need at entry. Ask for an emergency contact, a shirt size, or a required tick box accepting your terms.
4. Families in one order. A family enters together in one order, up to the cap per order you set.
5. Pack pick-up and race-day check-in. Scan entrants’ QR codes from any phone, and let volunteers help with the event’s door link.
6. On-the-day entries. Take late entries in cash or by bank transfer at the box office.
7. The whole entry fee for the event. You receive the whole entry price. The entrant pays the booking fee on top.

How it works for race directors

1. Create the race with a ticket type for each distance, each capped.
2. Add early-bird price changes and the questions you need at entry.
3. Connect Stripe and open entries.
4. On the day, volunteers scan entries with the door link and the box office takes late entries.

What a ticket costs, worked through

Sell 200 tickets at $35 and you receive $7,000. The booking fee is the buyer’s, added on top of your price at checkout, and it’s the same on every plan.

Example prices: set your own. Fees are checkout’s own, on a one-ticket order (One Ticket pricing). Free tickets carry no fee.

Common questions

Can entry prices rise after the early bird?

Yes. Add a price change to each entry type: on a date, a number of days before the race, or once so many have entered.

Can I ask for an emergency contact?

Yes. Add a required question at checkout. The answers come out with your orders and in the attendee export.

Does One Ticket do race timing or bib numbers?

No. One Ticket handles entries, payments and check-in. Timing is a separate service.

What does a buyer pay on a $35 ticket?

$36.88: the $35 ticket price and a $1.88 booking fee. You receive the whole $35, and the fee is the same on every plan.
