Where TicketWave differs
Full White-Label Branding
Custom domain, logo, colours, and branded emails included on every tier. Your ticket pages look like your website, not a third-party platform.
Built-In Affiliate Programme
Give promoters and influencers unique tracking links with tiered commissions and automated payouts. Useful if your events rely on street teams or PR reps.
Offline QR Scanning
The scanner PWA works without internet and syncs when reconnected. Designed for venues where signal is unreliable — harbours, basements, festival fields.
Multi-Language Support
Serve international audiences in 7 languages. Event pages, checkout, and confirmation emails all localised.
Season Passes and Add-Ons
Sell multi-event passes, merchandise, and product add-ons alongside tickets. Build recurring revenue beyond individual events.
Commission-Only Pricing
No monthly fee on any tier. You pay a percentage per ticket sold, and your tier auto-upgrades as volume grows. All features are available from day one.
