For residence house comms

Your res already has the audience. Give them one link.

House committees already sell nights through WhatsApp. TKKT turns that into a listing, ticket email, and door list that scans when campus WiFi does not.

TKKT does not fill residences. Carinus Ignite has 124 paid pre-sales as of 22 August 2026 for Friday 4 September at Clarendon Village. Capacity is 1,540. The event is not sold out.

01

What house comms actually need

One URL for the res group

Pin it. Stop collecting eFT payments and names in the chat.

Early bird, then door

Cap the cheap tier so the people who book early get the price you promised.

A test ticket the week before

Someone who did not build the page should complete a booking on their phone.

A scanner briefing the afternoon before

Load the list, charge the phone, decide who handles a ticket that will not scan.

02

A residence workflow

  1. 01

    Get the venue name right

    Clarendon Village and "the res grounds" are not interchangeable on a ticket email.

  2. 02

    Set capacity you can actually door

    A large published cap is fine. Do not treat it as a sales target.

  3. 03

    Connect a live gateway before you post the paid link

    Free guest lists can skip this. Paid tickets cannot.

  4. 04

    Announce once, then with proof

    First post is the link. Later posts can say tickets issued, not hype.

03

Do not promise these

  • That TKKT will market the night to campus
  • That pre-sales equal attendance
  • That a test key can take real cards
  • That the scanner needs venue WiFi

FAQ

Questions organisers ask

Can a house comms chair set this up without a designer?

Yes. Describe the event at /create. The listing, cover, and ticket details come from that conversation.

Do we need Yoco for a free res event?

No. Free RSVPs publish without a gateway. Paid tickets need a live Yoco, PayFast, or Paystack key.

Will TKKT fill the res?

No. Your comms already have the audience. TKKT is the listing, payment path, tickets, and door.

Where is the Carinus proof?

The live pre-sale case study is at /case-studies/carinus-ignite. The event page is /e/carinus-ignite.

List the res night.

Date, venue, tiers, capacity. Then pin the link in the house group.
