Best for South African events that want to list for free
Quicket is a South African ticketing platform where listing an event costs nothing and free-only events pay no commission. On paid tickets it takes 2.4% commission, 2.5% processing and R7.50 a ticket, before VAT.
Who Quicket is for
- Fits if you run events in South Africa and want no listing cost
- Works for nonprofits, which get a reduced rate
Who Quicket is not for
- Not for you if you sell outside South Africa, as the published rates are South African standard rates
- Watch out: commission and processing are both charged excluding VAT, so VAT is added
- Watch out: refunds, SMS, printed tickets and equipment hire can add charges
- Skip it if you want full feature detail, since its main pages need JavaScript and could not be read

Keep Quicket, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Quicket you would be making texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
What you could not
- Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- Selling tickets and checking them at the door.
What this rests on. Quicket’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Quicket?
Quicket is a ticketing platform and event marketplace that began in South Africa and has sites for several other countries. Creating an account and listing an event is free; fees apply when Quicket processes paid ticket sales. Organizers can also use optional services such as field staff, equipment hire, printed tickets and SMS.
Worth knowing
- The published rates are South African standard rates in rand, and the vendor says rates vary by agreement, product, currency and country.
- Commission and payment processing are both charged ex VAT, so VAT is added on top.
- Refund processing, SMS, printed tickets and equipment hire can add further charges.
- The main site pages are script-rendered, so features beyond fees were not readable here.
Key features
- Free event listing
- An account and event listing cost nothing, and events with only free tickets incur no Quicket commission.
- Flexible fee payer
- The fixed per-ticket booking fee can be paid by the ticket buyer or absorbed by the organizer.

- Optional on-site services
- Field Services staff, equipment hire, printed tickets and SMS messaging are offered as extra paid services.
- Reduced rate for nonprofits
- Qualifying NPOs and PBOs are listed at a lower 2% commission, ex VAT.
