Build a Ticketing Platform in 21 Days
Event creation, ticket sales, QR check-in, and organizer payouts — your Eventbrite, your fees.
Why Event & Ticketing Platform development is hard to get right
Eventbrite charges 3.5% + $1.79 per ticket — on a $100 ticket, that's $5.29 every sale you lose
QR code ticket generation and mobile check-in app require specific architecture — usually underscoped
Multi-ticket-type events (early bird, GA, VIP, group) need flexible pricing configuration
Organizer payout timing (before vs. after event) is both a business and technical decision

Frequently asked questions
How do you generate and validate QR code tickets?
Each ticket gets a unique UUID stored in Supabase. We generate a QR code from this UUID at purchase and email it as an image + PDF. The check-in app scans it, calls an API with the UUID, and marks it as checked-in. Duplicate scans return 'already used'.
