Your events, upgraded

Pick a template. Look like you hired a designer.

Whatever you’re throwing — a warehouse party, a wedding, a fundraiser, your kid’s Sweet Sixteen — there’s a template built for it. Real background photos, real stories, real RSVP and Buy flows. Tap any card to see one live.

Four featured demos above. Sixteen templates in total — four per category — you'll see them all in the event editor when you create your first event.

One dashboard, every kind of night

Sell the gala on Saturday. Host your niece’s Sweet Sixteen on Sunday.

Same you, same login. sbTix knows the $500 gala and the free family invite need different tools — and it just shows you the right ones each time.

sbTix Free: 1.5% + $0.50/ticket. Pro: $29/mo + 1% + $0.25/ticket. Studio: $99/mo + 0.5% + $0. Card processing (~2.9% + $0.30) is separate on every tier and every platform.

FAQ

Questions people actually ask.

Can I run a free event without paying anything?

Yes. Pick Passes when you create the event — $0 to publish, $0 per RSVP, forever. You still get the templates, guest list, seating chart, wishes wall, and the send-to-all email tool. No card needed from you or your guests.

Do you really do wedding invitations?

Yes — and communions, birthdays, showers, memorials, quinceañeras, graduations. Passes is our invitation flow. Guests RSVP with plus-ones, answer your question ("Meal choice?", "Coming to Mass or reception?"), leave a note on the wishes wall, and get a QR pass for the door. See a live wedding demo.

How does the seating chart work?

Open the Seating tab, drop tables (round 8, rectangle 12, sweetheart 2, banquet 20) on a full-width canvas, then drag guests from the ribbon below onto tables. Snap-to-grid, occupancy shown live, non-table markers (stage, bar, dance floor) too. Every seated guest gets their table name in their RSVP email automatically.

How long does it actually take to publish an event?

From a fresh sign-up, about 3 minutes if you have your event image and bank info handy. The bank setup is a one-time ~10-minute thing you only do once for all your events. Free events skip that step entirely.

When do I get paid?

Money goes directly to your own payout account and is paid out to your bank on a rolling schedule — typically a couple of business days after each sale, not after each event. You can see your payouts and history any time inside your dashboard.

What if I need to refund someone?

One click in your dashboard. Full or partial refunds — and the platform fee is reversed proportionally, so you're never out-of-pocket on the fee for a refunded ticket.

Do my buyers need to install anything?

No app. They open your event link, pay, and receive a QR ticket — emailed and viewable in any browser. Your door staff also just opens a URL on their phone — no install on either side.

How is this actually different from the big platforms?

Lower fees on the ticket prices you actually sell at. One account for both paid tickets and free RSVP invites — no need for a second "personal invitations" app. Event pages that use your own photos and palette instead of a generic template. And support in English, French, and Kreyòl, with optional in-person setup at your venue.

Can I message everyone who's coming?

Yes. From the Passes tab or event detail, hit "Message all Going" — a compose modal opens. Type subject + body (use {{first_name}} to personalize), hit send. It goes out from your sbTix mailer with a one-click unsubscribe and your postal address on it (CAN-SPAM compliant). No opening the mail client.

What about sales tax?

You're the seller of record — sbTix isn't a marketplace facilitator, so tax collection and remittance are yours to run (with your CPA). What we do: turn Auto mode on in your Tax settings and sbTix applies the right rate per event by state × category — 0% on private events, 8.875% on NYC festivals, 6.625% flat on NJ ticketed admissions, and so on. NY's live-music exemption under §1105(f)(1) is documented right in the settings. You get a per-quarter Tax filing card that hands you the exact numbers to enter on your state's return. We don't file for you; we make the numbers clean enough that filing takes minutes.

Can my public event page look like a real wedding invitation (or gala, or festival)?

Yes — sixteen templates, four per category (wedding, birthday, gala, festival), each with its own layout, palette, and typography. Pick one from the visual grid in the editor and preview the whole page in a click. Real examples: an editorial Kinfolk-style wedding, a Coachella-scale festival with a scrolling lineup, a museum-gala template with honorees as wall labels, a Haitian carnival festival. See the full library up in the Demos section.

Can I print real hard tickets?

Two ways. DIY: buy a pack of Avery 16154 pre-perforated ticket stock, hit "🎫 Avery 16154" on any batch in your dashboard, feed the sheets into your office laser printer, tear along the perforations — no cutter, no vendor. About $0.05/ticket. Print-on-demand: Gelato ships real cardstock tickets from their global network in ~5 days. Every option scans with the same QR system as digital tickets.

Your next event, your way.

Free to publish. Pay only when tickets sell. Switch from any other platform in an afternoon.
