Use case

Run an acoustic concert — ticketing without commission

Performing solo, as a duo, in an acoustic line-up? Here is how to publish the booking page, cap at your venue capacity, and welcome the audience with a QR code — without losing 10% commission to a middleman.

Typical scenario

Léa is a singer-songwriter who plays regularly in café-concerts in Brest. Venue capacity: 60. She used to open bookings on a mainstream ticketing platform with per-ticket commission — about €25-30 she'd rather keep on a 60-seat night. Today, JustOneEvent handles the free reservations (the café takes cash at the door), sends the QR ticket by email, and tracks arrivals in real time. The café-concert can size its charcuterie boards accordingly.

3 tips for a controlled concert ticketing

  • 1
    Cap strictly at venue capacity — Safety and comfort depend on respecting the ERP capacity. The auto-cap blocks signups at your exact threshold; beyond that, the waitlist takes over.
  • 2
    'Pay-what-you-want at the door' = simple collection — Clearly state 'free reservation, pay-what-you-want at the door (€5-15 suggested)' in the description. Avoids ticketing declaration paperwork, and the audience gives what feels right.
  • 3
    Full address + automatic D-1 reminder — Put the full address (street + city + district) in the Location field: the automatic D-1 reminder includes it. For a lesser-known café-concert, also drop a Google Maps link in the event description (reachable from the confirmation page emailed to attendees).
Save time with the writing assistant — Describe your event in one sentence and let the assistant pre-fill the title, description and registration fields suited to this type of event. You stay in control: review and adjust before publishing.
