Keychat.Events

Sell out in the group chat.

Keychat.Events sells the ticket, takes the payment, delivers the QR code, reminds the guest and scans them in at the door. Your guests never download an app, and you never queue at the gate.

01The sale

Tickets sold where the plans get made.

See event ticketing

Guest list & comps

Every buyer on one list you own: name, number, ticket type, arrival status. Comps and sponsor allocations issued from the same place.

02The build-up

Guests who turn up on time, knowing where to park.

Reminders, line-up changes, gate times and last-minute pushes go out on WhatsApp, where 94% get opened. Email can only dream.

Reminders & updates

Timed reminders with what to bring, where to go and what changed. Fewer questions at the gate, fewer refunds.

Sell the last 10%

Last-minute pushes to past guests, and referral offers that turn one ticket into three.

03The door

Scan, wave, in.

Door staff scan the QR on any phone. Duplicates and re-entries are caught on the spot, and you watch the numbers come in live.

Check-in

Any phone becomes a scanner. Multiple gates, live counts for capacity and the bar, and screenshots of somebody else’s ticket get stopped at the door.

After the show

The audience you built is yours. Presales, thank-yous and the next event go straight to the people who came to the last one.

No app. No printouts.
No queue. Just WhatsApp.

Every guest saved to a list you own.

All folded in

Everything from on-sale to encore.

Frequently asked questions

Everything else you might want to know before the doors open.

Ask us on WhatsApp
Do guests need an app or an account?

No. They chat to your WhatsApp number, pay in the chat and get a QR ticket back in the same thread. Passing a ticket to a friend is an ordinary WhatsApp forward.

How does check-in work?

Door staff open the scanner on any phone and scan the QR. Each ticket is valid once per the entry rule you set, so duplicates and screenshots get caught. Counts update live across gates.

Can I sell tables, group bundles and add-ons?

Yes. Tiers, tables, group discounts, early-bird windows and add-ons like parking, drinks vouchers or merch, all in the same flow.

What about refunds and cancellations?

Your policy, applied in the chat. Refunds, transfers and cancellations are handled within the rules you set, and escalated to you when they fall outside them.

Can it run alongside a ticketing site I already use?

Yes. Keychat.Events can be your only box office, or run next to an existing platform with a shared guest list so the door sees everyone.

What does it cost?

Pricing depends on the size of the event and how many you run. Chat to us or book a call and you’ll have a straight answer in one conversation.
