Why gathering matters

AI can make the invite.
It cannot make the night.

As more of life becomes generated, automated, and experienced through screens, being together becomes more valuable.

Real rooms create trust, friendships, culture, memories, and communities that cannot be prompted into existence.

TKKT uses AI to remove event administration, so organisers can spend more time creating the human experience.

YOUR EVENT. YOUR MONEY.

R0 platform fee. No payout queue.

You only pay your chosen gateway's standard card-processing rate. Payments go directly through your own Yoco, PayFast, or Paystack account, so TKKT never holds your event money.

Straight answers

Before you trust us with your event.

No hidden fee, payout, or connectivity surprises.

How much does TKKT charge per ticket?

TKKT charges zero platform fees on every ticket. You only pay your chosen payment gateway's standard card-processing fee.

How does TKKT make money if ticketing is free?

TKKT is currently bootstrapped during its founding-organiser period. Future revenue is planned through optional paid tools for organisers, never a fee on each ticket.

Do I need Yoco, PayFast, or Paystack?

Not for a free event. For paid tickets, you connect an account with one of those gateways so the money is processed through your own account. TKKT never holds your ticket revenue.

Does door scanning work without WiFi?

Yes. The offline-first scanner downloads your ticket list to the phone. Check-ins keep working without connectivity and sync when the phone reconnects.

What results has TKKT actually processed?

Beyond the Dust issued 110 paid tickets and processed R27,500 through the organiser's Yoco account, plus R5,100 in optional top-ups, with R0 TKKT platform fees. The verified case study separates online ticket records from door sales and attendance.
