What the organiser used
-
01
A free listing with no Yoco, PayFast, or Paystack
Paid checkout stays off. Guests still get an individual QR ticket by email.
-
02
Hard capacity
The listing stops at 300. The guest list is a booking record, not a WhatsApp pile of names.
-
03
One shareable link
The same URL works in community groups, stories, and WhatsApp.
-
04
The same door scanner as paid events
Staff can load the 300 tickets onto a phone before Friday and check people in offline.
02
Why this result matters
A Soweto community night is filling guest-list spots on TKKT without connecting a payment account. That is the free-event path Beyond the Dust cannot demonstrate.
An RSVP at capacity is not the same as that many people at the door. Ticket totals on this page update from the booking table. After the night, door scans (0 so far) sit next to the RSVP count.
03
What the numbers exclude
- Door attendance or walk-ups unless scanned
- Bar or venue revenue
- Cash collections
- Any claim that TKKT filled Taka Soweto
- Paid-ticket behaviour (this event is free)
