honest ticketing · both sides of the ticket
why cakepop?
Tickets should be simple, honest, and fair — whether you’re buying one or selling out the room. No junk fees for fans. No middleman tax for organizers. Just the event, the people who show up, and a price that doesn’t change at checkout.
- $1–$4 flat buyer fees, capped
- no long-term contracts
- fans + organizers, one platform
the cakepop difference
ticketing got greedy. we didn’t.
The big platforms pad every checkout, lock venues into multi-year deals, and let bots and scalpers run wild. We built cakepop for the people actually in the room — fans and organizers — not the middlemen between them.
Honest, flat pricing
A small flat buyer fee ($1–$4, capped), shown before checkout — never a percentage that balloons, never a surprise on the last screen.
No lock-in
No multi-year exclusives, no setup or monthly fees. Organizers stay because cakepop works, not because they're trapped in a contract.
Anti-scalper by design
Time-rotating QR codes and bot-pattern detection (in development) keep tickets in real fans' hands instead of on resale sites.
Tickets that just work
Every ticket is a scannable QR plus an Apple & Google Wallet pass, and transfers take a tap — no PDFs, no reprints at the door.
Paid fast, paid fairly
Organizers get free standard payouts or cash in as little as 30 minutes — and keep more of every ticket they sell.
A real marketplace
Fans discover events they'll actually love; organizers get found by the people already looking for something to do.
