Events Kona charges 5.5% per ticket sold. There are no monthly fees, no listing fees, and no setup costs. You only pay when you earn.

After your event closes, your payout is processed to your registered Nigerian bank account. You can track your payout status directly from your organiser dashboard.

Checking in attendees on event day

Every ticket purchased on Events Kona comes with a unique QR code, sent to the attendee's email and available in their account. On event day, open the Scan page in your organiser account on any smartphone and scan each QR code as attendees arrive.

The scanner validates each ticket in under a second and flags duplicates automatically. No special hardware needed — just your phone.
