Sell tickets to people who actually turn up
Create an event in minutes, sell tickets, run a waitlist when it fills, and scan people in at the door. Everyone buying is a verified person, not an account.
Free plan: two events a month. Attending is always free.
Late Summer Supper Club
Saturday 12 September · 7:00pm · Hackney, London
For people who run real gatherings
Community organisers, independent venues, supper clubs, workshops and meet-ups. Everything you need at the door, nothing you don't.
QR check-in
Scan tickets at the door from your phone. Duplicates are blocked automatically, so nobody gets in on a screenshot.
Waitlists that work
When you sell out, the waitlist opens itself. People join, and you can see demand rather than guessing at it.
Free events and RSVPs
Not everything needs a ticket price. Run free events with RSVPs and see numbers before you buy the food.
Straight into your hubs
Your event appears automatically in the hubs it belongs to. No ad spend, no reach auction, no boosting.
Verified attendees
Every buyer is one verified person with a real phone number. You know who is walking through the door.
Paid into your Arc Wallet
Ticket money lands in the same balance as your shop sales and bookings. One place to withdraw from.
The bit most ticketing platforms get wrong
Selling the ticket is the easy half. The hard half is a queue outside in the rain while someone scrolls their email for a booking reference. Arc gives every ticket a QR code and gives you a scanner in the app.
- Scan from your phone, no extra hardware
- Duplicate tickets rejected automatically
- Live count of who is in and who is still to arrive
- Works for free RSVP events as well as paid tickets
3%, and nothing added to your attendee's price
Arc takes 3% of paid ticket sales. That is it. There is no per-ticket charge and no booking fee bolted onto what your attendee pays at checkout, which is where most ticketing platforms quietly make their margin.
- 3% on paid tickets, on every plan including free
- 0% on free events and RSVPs
- No booking fee added to your attendee's price
- Card processing charged by Stripe at cost, never marked up
Illustrative only. Card processing is charged by Stripe and varies by card type and country. Nothing is added to your attendee’s price at checkout.

How does check-in work?
