Selling tickets on Tickethub.ng is easy to set up and easy to understand. You only pay when you sell, and free events cost nothing. Our pricing page page always has the latest rates.
Free events are completely free
Hosting a free event? There is no platform fee. You still get your own event page, a guest list, an attendance limit and QR code check-in at the door.
Paid events: pay only when you sell
On paid tickets, you pay a small fee on each ticket sold.
How the fee works
Tickethub.ng charges a platform fee on each paid ticket sold. Free events do not pay a platform fee at all, so a free RSVP night still gets you a public page, a guest list, a capacity cap, and QR check-in at no cost.
On paid tickets, the fee has two parts: a percentage and a fixed amount.
Plan
Ticket fee
Who it suits
Launch
6% + ₦100
Default for every organiser. Occasional nights.
Grow
5% + ₦100
Monthly organisers who need marketing and CRM tools.
Scale
4.5% + ₦100
Everyone starts on Launch, with nothing to pay upfront. As you sell more tickets, you can move to Grow or Scale for a lower fee per ticket. Both have a monthly subscription. Compare organiser plans to see what each includes.
You choose how the fee works
Tickethub.ng lets you decide who covers the fee.
Absorb
You include the fee in the price the buyer sees. Flyer price equals checkout price.
Best on mid and high prices, VIP, tables
Keeps marketing creative simple
Reduces checkout abandonment
Pass
Buyers see a small fee on top of your ticket price, and your ticket price stays exactly as you advertised.
Protects margin on low prices
Works when a partner fixes face value
Most concert and conference organisers absorb, because a single clean number sells better. Campus and community organisers more often pass, because a fixed component is heavy against a ₦1,000 ticket. Both are legitimate. What is not legitimate is switching quietly after sales open. Choose whichever suits your event, and set it before you start selling.
Everything you need to sell
Whatever plan you choose, you can:
Create your event page in minutes
Share one link on WhatsApp, Instagram and anywhere else.
Check guests in quickly with QR codes
Track your sales as they happen
Tips for Selling Lower-Priced Tickets
Running a campus party, a community meetup or a small show? Here are three easy ways to get the most from your ticket sales.
Offer free entry with a paid extra.
Let guests register for free, then sell something special on top, like a meet-and-greet, a VIP seat or a drinks bundle. Free registration carries no fee, so you fill the room and earn from the extras.
Keep your price simple.
A single price that covers everything, like ₦1,500, often sells better than a ₦1,000 ticket with extra charges at checkout. Buyers like knowing exactly what they'll pay.
Sell group tickets.
Offer a ticket for four people at ₦4,000. Friends love the deal, and one group ticket costs you less in fees than four separate ones, so it's good for you and your guests.
Processing and payouts are separate from the platform fee
Buyers pay by card or bank transfer through trusted Nigerian payment partners such as Paystack, so every payment is secure. Your ticket money is safe, and once your KYC verification is complete, you can withdraw it to your bank account.
Complete your KYC early so you're ready to withdraw as soon as your tickets start selling.

Questions organisers ask
Do free tickets pay fees?
No. Free events carry no platform fee, and you still get the guest list and QR check-in.
Is the fee per order or per ticket?
Yes, on each paid ticket sold.
Can I change absorb or pass after sales start?
It's best to set this before you start selling, so every buyer sees the same thing.
Do complimentary tickets pay fees?
No. Set gift tickets up as free tickets and no fee is charged.
What happens on refunds?
Refunds follow your event's refund policy and our refund process.
What if I change plans mid-season?
Confirm your account state and the current rate on the pricing page before you announce new net figures to partners.
Model your ticket ladder before you print anything
Take your cheapest paid tier, run absorb and pass, and see which one you can actually defend to a buyer.
