What are you planning?

Pick the closest — we’ll open a live example built for it.

Beautiful event pages that look custom — not cookie cutter.

Pick the template closest to what you’re throwing. Your photos, your colors, your language — already in the right places. Tap any card to see the page your guests actually open.

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.

Concert tonight. Wedding next month. Same account.

Paid mode gives you scanners, seat maps, and payouts at the door. Invite mode tracks RSVPs, dietary notes, and plus-ones. sbTix hands you the tools that fit the event and hides the rest.

Questions? We’ve answered the big ones.

Can I run a free event without paying anything?

Yep. Pick Passes when you build the event and it stays free forever — nothing to publish, nothing per RSVP. You still get the templates, guest list, seating chart, wishes wall, and the send-to-everyone email. Nobody’s card ever gets asked for — not yours, not theirs.

Do you really do wedding invitations?

Yes — plus communions, birthdays, showers, memorials, quinceañeras, graduations. Passes is the invitation flow. Guests RSVP with plus-ones, answer whatever question you set ("Meal choice?", "Mass or reception?"), drop a note on the wishes wall, and walk in with a QR pass at 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) onto a full-width canvas, then drag guests from the ribbon onto them. Snap-to-grid, live occupancy, and stage/bar/dance-floor markers included. Every seated guest’s RSVP email picks up their table name automatically.

How long does it actually take to publish an event?

About 3 minutes from a fresh sign-up if your event photo and bank info are handy. The bank piece takes ~10 minutes and you only do it once — it covers every event on the account after that. Free events skip that step entirely.

When do I get paid?

Money lands in your own payout account first, then rolls out to your bank a couple business days after each sale — not held until the event ends. Payout history is in your dashboard whenever you want to look.

What if I need to refund someone?

One click in your dashboard. Full or partial, whichever you need — the platform fee gets refunded proportionally with it, so you're never eating the fee on a ticket you had to give back.

Do my buyers need to install anything?

Nope. Buyers open your event link, pay, and get a QR ticket by email that also opens in any browser. Your door staff pulls up a URL on their phone to scan. Nothing to download on either side.

How is this actually different from the big platforms?

Fees are lower on the prices you actually sell at. Because one account runs paid tickets and free invites, you skip the second "personal invitations" app. Event pages use your photos and colors instead of a stock template. And we'll drive out to set it up in person — English, French, or Kreyòl.

Can I message everyone who's coming?

Yes. Head to Passes or the event detail, hit "Message all Going", and a compose modal pops open. Write subject + body (use {{first_name}} to personalize), send. It ships from your sbTix mailer with a one-click unsubscribe and your postal address on it (CAN-SPAM compliant). Your mail client stays closed.

What about sales tax?

You're the seller of record — sbTix isn't a marketplace facilitator, so remittance is on you and your CPA. Flip Tax settings to Auto and sbTix picks the right rate per event (0% private, 8.875% NYC festivals, 6.625% NJ admissions, NY §1105(f)(1) live-music exemption noted right in the settings). Each quarter, a Tax filing card hands you the exact numbers to type on your state return. We don't file for you; the math just lands ready.

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

Sixteen templates — four each across weddings, birthdays, galas, and festivals, with their own layout, palette, and type. Pick from the visual grid in the editor and preview the full page in a click. Examples: an editorial Kinfolk wedding, a Coachella-scale festival with a scrolling lineup, a museum gala with honorees as wall labels, a Haitian carnival. Full library up in Demos.

Can I print real hard tickets?

Two ways. DIY: grab a pack of Avery 16154 pre-perforated ticket stock, hit "🎫 Avery 16154" on any batch in your dashboard, run the sheets through your office laser printer, tear on the perf. About $0.05/ticket, no cutter or vendor. Print-on-demand: Gelato ships real cardstock tickets from its global network in ~5 days. Both scan with the same QR as digital.

Your next event starts here.

Create it in minutes. Free to publish. First paid ticket, or first RSVP, is live the moment you hit go. Switching from another platform takes an afternoon — we’ll walk it with you.
