Built by people who actually put events on.

Run the whole damn event.

Ticketing, the lineup, the artists, the crew and the marketing — one platform, built for the chaotic people who put events into the world. Costs you nothing to run, and you keep every penny of face value.

Ticketing

Tiers, releases, group tickets, payment plans, comps, and discounts that apply themselves.

Marketing

Instagram and Facebook, email, push and WhatsApp — to your own audience, not a rented one.

Artist booking

Offers, fees, guest-list allocations and remittance invoices, all on the artist's record.

Run-of-show

Stages, event days and set times on one axis. Volunteers, vendors and suppliers alongside.

Live analytics

Sales against a target, sell-through by tier, door counts by gate, year on year.

We were running a 3,000-cap festival on six different tools held together with spreadsheets and prayers. Grofomo replaced all of them in a weekend — and our advance team actually slept this year.

SCAN · GATE A GA · Day 2 ● VALID

Doorman: gate-ready scanning, even when service drops.

Our door app runs a check-in list per gate. Staff join by scanning a share code, every ticket carries an offline QR, and the counts move in near real time. Duplicates, wrong-day and already-transferred tickets are called out on the spot, and anything scanned in error can be undone.

Drag a set time. The whole festival follows.

Move a slot and it updates everywhere at once: your public site, the app schedule, and the fans who saved that set get told. Nobody has to remember to tell anybody.

Pricing

The whole platform, free.

Not a trial, not a limited tier. You never get an invoice from us: no subscription, no listing fee, no per-seat charge, nothing for the marketing tools. Every ticketing platform adds a booking fee at checkout — at 7.5% + 25p ours is lighter than Skiddle or DICE charge, and you keep the full face value of every ticket.

And your fans pay less than they do now.

The booking fee is the only money that changes hands, and it is lighter than the fee your buyers are paying today. Every figure here is that platform's own published rate, checked in August 2026. Big promoters negotiate, so treat these as list prices — ours included.

  • Ours is VAT-inclusive. DICE publishes ex-VAT, so theirs is grossed up to compare like for like
  • Skiddle adds a RapidScan delivery fee to every order that their own help centre says cannot be turned off
  • Resident Advisor publishes no rate card at all

Grofomo7.5% + 25p£2.50

A lighter fee. Your call what to do with it.

On a £30 ticket, Skiddle's booking fee is £3.27 before the delivery fee they add to every order. Ours is £2.50. So either your fans pay at least 77p less than they did last year, or you lift your face value by the difference and keep it — around £770 on every 1,000 tickets. One or the other, and it is entirely your call.

  • Free tickets carry no fee at all
  • Your own Stripe account, released three days after the event
  • Early release on request if you need the money sooner

More than tickets

A ticketing tool alone won't grow the FOMO.

Putting tickets on sale is the easy part. The thing that fills the field is everything around it — the lineup announcements, the early-bird waves, the artist everyone is suddenly talking about. Grofomo is built around that loop.

Sell smarter, not louder.

Price tiers that open and close on a schedule, quantity discounts that apply themselves without a code, hidden tickets that only unlock from an artist or ambassador link, and payment plans for the ones people need to save up for.

  • Buy-one-get-one, bundles and tiered discounts, applied automatically at checkout
  • A deposit plus instalments, collected and retried for you
  • Hidden tiers that only open from an artist or ambassador link

Every artist and every fan can sell for you.

Hand any DJ on the bill, or anyone who bought a ticket last year, their own link. They share it, you see exactly who brought who, and they earn on what they sell — in cash, or in the stuff that costs you less than cash.

  • Commission as a percentage or a flat amount per ticket, tracked on a proper ledger
  • Or pay them in drinks, merch, a refunded ticket, or whatever you dream up
  • Artists get a promo kit and their own earnings page, so you are not chasing them for a post
  • Invite last year's buyers to become ambassadors in a couple of clicks

Land in the one place they actually read: WhatsApp.

Drop the lineup at 9am and watch the sales move. Message your ticket holders on WhatsApp from your own number, schedule Instagram and Facebook from a single draft, and email the list from your own domain rather than ours.

  • WhatsApp campaigns on your own number, consent-gated, with a shared team inbox your crew can all reply from
  • Instagram feed posts, carousels, video and reels; Facebook posts, video, reels and stories, with TikTok, X, LinkedIn and YouTube on the way
  • Email to ticket buyers, past customers, your mailing list or a saved segment
  • A phone alert to everyone who saved your event, for set changes, stage swaps and late releases
  • Arm a tier to announce itself the moment it goes on sale

Your crowd gets an app, not a PDF.

Tickets live in the Grofomo app, in Apple and Google Wallet, and in an email with a QR that still scans when the signal does not. Your fans build a personal schedule from your set times, see which of their mates are going, and get a nudge before the act they saved walks on.

  • Tickets in Apple and Google Wallet, and a QR that scans with no signal
  • Pass a spare ticket to a friend, who gets their own QR
  • Lost the email? They find their own order without troubling you

Send an offer with a fee, an allocation of tickets, or both — so the headliner gets paid and the opener can take twenty tickets for their mates instead. Acceptance, remittance invoices and the artist's own VAT details all live on the same record that feeds your set times.

  • Pay in cash, in tickets, or a bit of each
  • Guest lists that seed themselves from your lineup, vendors and suppliers
  • Remittance invoices and receipts, downloadable by both sides

Frequently asked

Answers to the things everyone asks first.

It is free? Really? Where is the catch?

Really. You never get an invoice from us. There is no subscription, no listing fee, no per-seat charge and nothing to pay for the marketing tools. We earn from the booking fee added at checkout, the same fee every ticketing platform charges — ours is 7.5% + 25p, lighter than Skiddle or DICE, and you receive the full face value of every ticket. Card processing comes out of our side, not yours.

The catch, if you want to call it one, is that you sell your tickets through Grofomo. That is what makes the rest of it work: once your sales run through the platform it knows who bought, what they bought, who came last year and who never opened your last email — and that is what turns a mailing list into an audience you can actually sell to. Bolt the marketing onto someone else's checkout and you are back to exporting spreadsheets.

When do I get paid?

Money from ticket sales is held on your own Stripe account and released automatically three days after your event ends. Paying out after the event is what protects your buyers if a date moves or cancels, which is why the industry works this way. If you need the funds sooner, you can request an early release.

Can I move over from Skiddle, Eventbrite or whoever I am on now?

Yes. We read Skiddle order exports directly, so last year's sales come across as history you can actually report against rather than a folder of spreadsheets. Your whole ticket catalogue imports and exports as a CSV, and your contacts import with duplicate detection, so you are not merging lists by hand. On other platforms, send us an export and we will tell you straight away whether we can read it.

Which social channels can I publish to?

Instagram and Facebook, from a single draft: feed images, carousels, video and reels on Instagram, plus posts, video, reels and stories on Facebook. TikTok, X, LinkedIn and YouTube are coming.

The bigger win is usually the channels nobody else gives you: WhatsApp campaigns from your own number, email to your own buyer list, and a phone alert to everyone who saved your event.

Does the gate scanning work without service?

Every ticket carries a QR that scans offline, so a field with no signal does not stop the door. You set up a check-in list per gate, add your staff with a rotating share code, and see checked-in against total in near real time. Duplicate scans, wrong-day tickets and ones already transferred are flagged as they happen, and anything scanned in error can be undone.

What do I get before I sell a single ticket?

Your event page and directory listing, the website builder, the lineup builder, your artist roster and bookings, news and articles, the media and creative tools, and the whole ticket setup. Build the entire event, show it to your team, and decide about ticketing afterwards. Nobody asks you for a card.

Sell your tickets through Grofomo and the marketing suite — WhatsApp, email, social publishing and phone alerts — switches on too, still at no cost to you.
