What is Ticketing.cat?
Ticketing.cat is a free platform designed to help event organisers sell tickets for their events. It provides the core functionality needed to set up ticket sales without requiring payment from users. The platform handles ticket creation, sales processing, and attendee management in one place. It's particularly useful for small to medium-sized event organisers, community groups, and independent promoters who want to avoid subscription costs whilst still having a dedicated ticketing solution. The service appears focused on making ticket sales accessible to anyone running an event, whether that's a concert, conference, workshop, or local gathering.
