How it works
Discovery to door
Whether you're buying a ticket or running the show, here's the whole flow — discovery, payment, delivery, and the security that makes every ticket real. Here's how each piece works, and why.
For attendees
Find an event, choose your tickets, and pay in the currency and method that suit you. Your ticket arrives the moment payment clears — on the channel you choose — and the organiser scans it at the door. That's the whole journey; here's what makes each step work.
Real availability
You always see true, live availability — and your spot is held while you check out, so there's no sold-out surprise at the last step.
Pay your way
Pay in USD or a local currency, with mobile money today and cards and global rails on the way. No app to install, no bank account required.
Instant delivery
Your ticket lands the moment payment clears — by WhatsApp, email, SMS, or in-app — with a printable PDF and calendar invite so you're covered on any phone.
Always recoverable
Lose your phone and your ticket is safe — it lives in your account and your mobile wallet, too.

Discover & engage
Great nights start with finding the right room — and knowing the moment tickets go live. 263tickets is built to help you find events you'll love and stay close to the ones you can't miss.
Made for discovery
Search by artist, venue, city, or date — or let a personalised feed surface what's worth your night out.
Alerts you control
Follow an organiser or a category and get a WhatsApp ping when tickets drop. One word — STOP — turns it off instantly.
Go together
Find friends heading to the same show and sort your whole group's tickets in one place.
Rewards for turning up
Earn points and unlock perks at the venue — drinks, merch, and meet-and-greets — just for being there.
For organisers
Create an event in minutes, set your tiers and currencies, and publish. Everything after that — selling, getting paid, checking people in, and keeping them in the loop — runs from a single dashboard built for on-sale spikes, not just a steady trickle.
Rich event pages
Agenda, speakers, sponsors, FAQs, galleries, and seat maps — build a page that sells, in every language you serve.
Flexible ticketing
General admission, reserved seats, VIP, group, and hidden password-protected tiers — priced in the currencies you sell in.
One dashboard
Sales, payouts, check-in, and attendee messaging in one place, with broadcasts over WhatsApp and email.
Ready for the rush
A virtual waiting room and pre-warmed inventory keep big on-sales fair and standing when thousands arrive at once.
Pricing & copy assist
Demand-aware price suggestions and AI drafting for your event copy — always suggestions, never applied without your say-so.
Settled to the cent
Multi-currency payouts reconciled across every rail, so the numbers always tie out.

Payments
Money should be the boring part. We route every charge through the right rail for the buyer and settle in the currency they actually paid — no guesswork, no surprise conversions.
Flexible by design
Multiple currencies and payment methods, including local mobile money — with cards and global rails such as Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, and Stripe on the roadmap.
No FX surprises
We settle in the currency you actually paid — including USD — with no hidden conversion at checkout.
Never double-charged
Every payment is processed exactly once, even if the network drops mid-checkout.
Confirmed, then issued
We verify each payment directly with the provider before releasing your ticket — so what you hold is always real.
Ticket security
A ticket is only worth something if it can't be faked. Every 263tickets ticket is a single, verifiable thing — easy to authenticate at the door, impossible to clone or reuse.
One ticket, one identity
Every ticket carries a secure, encrypted code that matches only itself — screenshots and copies don't pass.
Verified at the gate
Organisers scan with a phone camera, and a valid ticket clears in well under a second.
Impossible to reuse
First scan wins. Any duplicate is rejected on the spot and flagged in the dashboard.
Works with no signal
The scanner runs fully offline, so the queue keeps moving even when the venue's network doesn't.
Trust & safety
Security isn't a setting you switch on — it's the floor the whole platform stands on, from the on-sale queue to the data you trust us with.
Bots get no head start
Queue controls, human checks, and signed entry keep scalper bots out of big on-sales, so real fans get the tickets.
Your data, protected
Personal details are encrypted in transit and at rest, and you can export or delete your data whenever you ask.
We never see your card
Card payments run through certified providers — full card numbers never touch our systems.
Accountable by design
Access is tightly scoped and sensitive actions are logged, so nothing meaningful happens without a trace.
