Sell tickets without guessing what you’ll be paid

Most ticketing platforms tell you the fee and leave you to work out the rest. SeatSpark shows you the exact per-ticket outcome before you publish, because the same pricing engine that quotes it is the one that writes the ledger.

Work out your numbers

Change any input. The figures update through the production pricing code — not an approximation of it.

The fee is added on top. You keep the full face value.

Commission is 8.5% + $1.49 per ticket in this illustration. Card processing ($729.87 across this order) is a SeatSpark cost and never appears on a buyer’s receipt. Sales tax is excluded here because it is jurisdiction-specific.

Money you can audit

Append-only by construction

Ledger rows cannot be updated, deleted or truncated. That is enforced by database triggers, so it holds even against a compromised application or an administrator with a SQL console.

Every entry balances

A deferred constraint checks each transaction sums to zero at commit. Money cannot be created or destroyed by a bug in application code.

Refunds bounded by the capture

Total refunds against a payment can never exceed what was captured. Enforced in the same layer, not in a service that could be bypassed.

One seat, one buyer

On-sale contention is where ticketing platforms quietly fail. Seat claims are resolved with row-level locks and SKIP LOCKED inside a single database statement, so simultaneous buyers do not queue behind each other and do not both win.

Tested, not asserted. 60 concurrent carts contending for 100 seats produced 41 concurrent winners and zero double-claims. Two buyers racing for the same single seat produced exactly one ticket.

Face-recognition entry

Fans enroll once at checkout. At the gate they walk up and walk in — no barcode to screenshot, forward or lose. Fewer counterfeits, shorter queues, and attendance data that reflects who actually came in.

Live, and switched off by default. Buyers can enroll at checkout today. Face Pass stays off for a new organization until we approve it — collecting biometrics carries obligations we take on with you, not for you. Until then your door runs on QR tickets, scanned from the phone in your staff’s hand.
