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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- South African organizers who want to pay only when tickets sell
- Nonprofits eligible for the reduced commission
- Free events, which carry no commission
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.

Where this guide comes from
The prices, plans, platforms and features were read from Quicket’s own pages on Nov 13, 2026, and the grades were given on Nov 13, 2026. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Quicket's own pages on 13 November 2026. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. Its fees page needed JavaScript and gave no readable text, so the pricing check rests on the listing.
Every tool we list gets five grades, A to F, each with its reason, and a GPA that averages them. How each is decided is at toolgpa.com/grades. This guide is ToolGPA’s own work; it is not made, paid for or approved by Quicket. Prices change, so check quicket.co.za before you buy.
