Sell Event Tickets Online for Free, Starting Today

To sell event tickets online for free, you publish an event page that doubles as a checkout, share its link, and let buyers pay directly from that page. On Yesodi the event itself is free to host, so creating and listing the event costs you nothing up front. A cut is taken only when a ticket actually sells, and the organizer keeps 75 percent of each paid ticket. That means you can open sales, share the page, and only ever pay on money you have already earned. There is no upfront listing charge standing between you and your first sale.

What Free Ticketing Actually Means

Across the industry, free ticketing almost always refers to commission, not cost. Most platforms charge in one of three ways: a fixed fee for every ticket sold, a percentage of the ticket price, or a booking fee that your attendee pays at checkout. Free events are commonly free to list, while paid tickets still carry a cut somewhere. Knowing which model a platform uses is the single most important thing before you price a ticket. Yesodi follows the clear version of this: free to host, and the cut lands only on a completed paid sale.

Create Your Event Page in Minutes

Start by publishing the event from the compose screen and choosing the event format. Give it a clear title, a date and time, a location or a link for online events, and a short description of what attendees get. Add a cover image so the page looks finished and trustworthy when people arrive. The published page becomes a real public web page, which means it can be found in search and shared anywhere. A well filled page sells more tickets than a thin one, so treat the description like a short sales pitch.

Turn On Tickets and Set Your Price

Once the event exists, enable ticketing and set the price for each ticket type. You can describe what each ticket includes, whether that is general entry, early access, or a bundle. The page then carries a built in checkout, so buyers never leave to a separate site. Because hosting is free, you can list the event and open sales before you have spent anything. The organizer keeps 75 percent of every paid ticket, and the remaining cut is only ever taken on a sale that actually happens.

Get Paid Through PayPal, Stripe, or Crypto

Buyers pay for tickets through PayPal, Stripe, or crypto, so most common payment methods are covered at checkout. Offering more than one way to pay reduces the number of people who abandon the purchase at the last step. Payment processing itself is a normal part of selling online anywhere, and clear pricing helps attendees trust the page. Because the checkout sits on the same event page, the path from reading about the event to buying a ticket is short. A shorter path generally means more completed sales.

Share Your Event Everywhere

A ticket page only works when people see it, so sharing is the real job once the page is live. Copy the event link and post it to your social accounts, your group chats, your email list, and any community that fits the event. Because the page is a public web page, it can also surface in search when people look for events like yours. Pin it, repost it as the date gets closer, and give a simple reason to buy now rather than later. Steady, repeated sharing almost always beats a single big announcement.

Keep 75 Percent, Pay Only on a Sale

The organizer keeps 75 percent of each paid ticket, and the cut is taken only when a ticket sells. That structure protects you from the classic trap of paying to list an event that may not fill. You carry no upfront ticketing cost, so a quiet event simply costs you nothing. When a ticket does sell, the fee comes out of real revenue you have already received. This is what makes it reasonable to launch small events, test an idea, or run a one time gathering without risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it really free to list an event and sell tickets?

Hosting the event is free, so creating and publishing the page costs nothing up front. A cut is taken only when a ticket actually sells, and the organizer keeps 75 percent of each paid ticket. You never pay simply to have the event listed.

How do buyers pay for tickets?

Tickets are sold through PayPal, Stripe, or crypto directly on the event page. Offering more than one payment method means fewer buyers drop off at checkout. The checkout lives on the same page, so buyers do not get sent to a separate site.

How much of each ticket do I keep?

The organizer keeps 75 percent of every paid ticket. The remaining cut is taken only on a completed sale, not on listing the event. That means you only ever pay on money you have already earned.

What does free ticketing usually mean on other platforms?

On most platforms free refers to commission rather than total cost. They typically charge a fixed fee per ticket, a percentage of the price, or a booking fee the attendee pays at checkout. Free events are often free to list while paid tickets still carry a cut somewhere.

Can people find my event in search?

Yes, because a published event becomes a real public web page. That page can surface when people search for events like yours and can be shared across social accounts, chats, and email. A complete page with a cover and a clear description performs better than a thin one.

How do I start selling tickets today?
