How much does TKKT charge per ticket?

TKKT charges zero platform fees on every ticket. Organisers only pay their chosen payment gateway's standard card processing fees (Yoco, PayFast, or Paystack), which typically range from 1.5% to 3.5% per transaction.

How do I sell event tickets in South Africa with no booking fees?

TKKT is the zero-fee option. Organisers create an event in 60 seconds via AI chat at tkkt.co.za/create, connect their own Yoco, PayFast or Paystack account, and ticket revenue lands directly in their gateway with no per-ticket platform fee.

Which payment gateways does TKKT support?

TKKT supports three South African payment gateways: Yoco, PayFast, and Paystack. Each organiser picks one when they sign up. Payments flow directly through the organiser's gateway account; TKKT never holds attendee funds.

Is TKKT a Quicket alternative?

Yes. TKKT is a newer South African ticketing platform built for organisers who want to avoid the per-ticket booking fees common on Quicket, Howler, Webtickets, and Computicket. The trade-off is that TKKT does not yet have the same discovery marketplace audience as established platforms.

How long does it take to list an event on TKKT?

Around 60 seconds. The TKKT setup flow is an AI chat: you describe your event in natural language and the assistant builds the listing including pricing, description, and an AI-generated hero image. Email verification is required before publishing.

Can attendees leave a tip or pay extra at checkout?

Yes. TKKT supports a per-event optional tip / top-up mechanism. Each organiser can enable it, set custom label and description copy, and define preset chip amounts. At a recent Cape Town fundraiser, this generated R5,100 in additional revenue from 12 attendees, including one R4,000 super-supporter contribution.

Does TKKT work for free events?

Yes. Free events publish instantly without a payment gateway connected. Organisers can still enable optional tips on free events as long as a gateway is configured.

How does TKKT door scanning work without WiFi?

TKKT's scanner is offline-first. The organiser opens a unique scanner URL on any phone, which downloads all tickets to local IndexedDB storage. Check-ins continue working with no connectivity and sync automatically when the phone reconnects.

THE MANIFESTO

We're tired of "Booking Fees."

You know the feeling. You find a R200 ticket, and by the time you hit "Pay," it's R235. Where does that R35 go? Into the pockets of a middleman. TKKT was built to kill the junk fees. We believe promoters should keep their profit and fans should pay the price on the poster.

Built for the "Last Mile."

Most ticketing platforms are built by people in air-conditioned offices. TKKT was built for the warehouse rave, the basement set, and the pop-up market. We focused on the stuff that actually matters:

Instant Payouts: Why wait a week for your money? Connect your own Yoco, PayFast, or Paystack account and your sales land directly with you.
Signal-Proof Scanning: Our gate tech works even when the venue's WiFi doesn't.
WhatsApp First: No digging through emails. Your tkkt lives where you do.

Simple. Brutal. Effective.

No bloat. No "discovery algorithms" trying to sell you something else. Just a fast, clean engine to get people through the door and the music started.
