Now that we are headed into the festive season there are bound to be a bunch of events around the country. Over the past years, there has been an outcrop of event management companies that event organizers have been partnering with to sell tickets online. This means as an event organizer you now have one less thing to worry about and plan for. This also serves as a convenience to the attending revelers as well. Thus in this post, we will list some of the more popular online platforms you can use to buy and sell tickets in Kenya.
As you may already know tickets are essentially the paycheck for events either showbiz or corporate. Besides merchandise, royalties, and endorsements this is how many artists make their money. E-ticket sites came to beat the challenges many event organizers faced with traditional cash payment of tickets. The main problems were salesmen who disappeared with ticket fees as well as the sale of fake tickets. Next time you have an event in Kenya that needs ticketing, consider using an E-Ticketing service.

6. EventBrite
Eventbrite is an American event management company that prides itself to be an all-in-one ticketing and marketing platform. They claim to have everything you need to sell event tickets online to the right audience. I have seen quite a significant amount of high-profile Kenyan event promoters use the Eventbrite platform.
Their seller pricing is out of the ordinary as they do not charge a commission as such . They add their commission on top of your event’s asking price. For instance, if you are charging Ksh1,000 a ticket, they will sell the ticket for Ksh1,050 hence you get your original Ksh1,000. Their website has all the events categorized hence easy for buyers to navigate.
