Eventbrite is fine for 95% of events. We exist for the 5% where it isn't.
Custom event ticketing platforms for multi-day festivals, white-label venue groups and marketplaces. Tier logic Eventbrite can't model, and door-staff apps that keep working when the venue Wi-Fi dies.

What you get
Six engagements.
From a single festival with awkward tier logic to a multi-tenant white-label network, the ticketing surface and the door-staff app ship on one design system.
Custom ticketing platforms
Multi-event, multi-day, tiered, mixed adult / child / group pricing. The shapes Eventbrite makes you live with, we handle natively.
White-label ticketing
For venue groups or promoter networks. Multi-tenant data model, brand-aware checkout flows, isolated payout paths per tenant.
Door-staff & scanner apps
Offline-capable React Native or PWA. Local-only session logs, four-stat summary, scan-result colour-coding (admit / used / invalid).
Payments + payouts
Stripe Connect-style flows with hold periods and dispute reserves. The deeper billing engineering covered on the Stripe page.
Migrations off Eventbrite / Ticket Tailor
Past order history, customer accounts, search rankings, preserved through cutover. Same redirect engineering we do for Shopify migrations.
Event marketplaces
Where the platform owns multiple venues, organisers, and check-in reward systems (Bloc-style).
The ticket lifecycle engineering map
Every stage where a ticketing platform can quietly break.
Eight stages from tier publish to event reconciliation. Each one with the typical failure mode and the pattern we use to handle it.
Evidence, Ontick
Customer-facing platform plus a door-staff app on the same design system.
Stack
Laravel · Vue.js · MySQL · Vite + React 18 check-in app
Customer platform. Laravel + Vue.js + MySQL. £90K+ in sales, 230K+ tickets booked. Real events include the Bromsgrove Tribute Festival 2026 (23 to 24 May at Bromsgrove Rugby Football Club) with multiple tiers: Adult Weekend Pass, Adult Saturday Day, Adult Sunday Day, Child Saturday.
Staff check-in app.Vite + React 18, deployed under goappycodes/ontick-checkin-mockup. Established Ontick design system (accent #037dd4, DM Sans, iOS-style 280 to 560 phone frames). Nine screens: Login, Events, Dashboard, Scanner, Admit (green), Already Used (amber), Invalid (red), Manual Entry, plus "My Session", a local-only session log per staff member.
Two-tab bottom nav (Dashboard / My History). Multi-day events show day pills on the dashboard. Four-stat summary strip (Total / Admit / Used / Issue) explicitly marked "Saved on this device · Your scans only." The point: door-staff apps are not afterthoughts, they're the moment the platform either works or doesn't.
Read the full Ontick case study. Adjacent work: Bloc (events + venue ads + check-in rewards), React Native for the staff app side, Laravel for the backend, Stripe billing for Connect-style payouts, API & integration for promoter / venue feeds.
Good fit if
When ticketing is real engineering
- Festivals and multi-day events with complex tier logic Eventbrite can't model
- Venue groups or promoter networks needing white-label ticketing across multiple sites
- Operators who need to own the customer relationship instead of renting it
- Door-staff workflows that have to work offline at the gate
Probably not a fit
We'll tell you to rent instead
- Single-event organisers, Eventbrite or Ticket Tailor will be cheaper and faster
- Generic 'we sell tickets' use cases where the off-the-shelf platforms genuinely fit
- Teams without a clear answer to 'who runs door staff training'

If Eventbrite no longer fits
Bring the tier logic and the door-staff workflow. We'll size the platform.
