Who it’s for
Event organisers who’d rather keep the 5% Eventbrite would have taken.
- Pop-ups and gigs that sell out in days. Stop paying 5–8% to platforms that bury your brand under their own.
- Charity fundraisers where every percentage point matters more than feature parity with Ticketmaster.
- Comedy nights and supper clubs running 50 to 500 seats, who want a clean ticket page that looks like theirs.
- Independent festivals, retreats, and conferences with multi-tier pricing and capacity limits.
- Multi-day passes: 3-day festivals, weekend museum exhibits, in/out re-entry — one ticket, scan each entry.
- Free community events, open-mic nights, meetups — we charge nothing on a $0 ticket, so the whole RSVP flow stays free.
How it works
From a sentence to a sale, in three short steps.
- 1
Describe the event.
Date, time, venue, tier pricing, capacity. One paragraph is enough. Zillo builds the page, the checkout, the receipts.
- 2
Sell.
Share the link in your bio, your newsletter, the venue’s window. Tickets land in customers’ phones, ready to scan.
- 3
Scan at the door.
Staff use the Zillo app or any phone camera. Single-entry tickets are one-shot; multi-day passes scan for each entry within the event window. Capacity is enforced, the queue moves.
