Sketchplay Ticketing replaces all of it with one simple flow. Share a clean ticket purchase page. Buyers tap to pay via Credit Card or Apple Pay. You scan their QR codes at the door. The money automatically deposits in your bank daily!

Six things that make Sketchplay Ticketing different from generic event platforms.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions tournament directors actually ask us.

There are no setup fees and no monthly subscription. Sketchplay Ticketing charges a small per-ticket service fee plus standard Stripe processing only when you sell a ticket. You can pass these fees through to ticket buyers or absorb them into the ticket price — your choice per event.

Most organizations are live within one hour! Tell us about your org via the contact form, we get you onboarded, you complete a quick Stripe Connect verification, then create your first event and share the public ticket link. Funds deposit to your bank on Stripe’s standard payout schedule.

Yes. Apple Pay and Google Pay render automatically at checkout on supported devices — iPhone, Mac, and Android Chrome. Every paid ticket also includes an Add to Apple Wallet button so the QR code lives on the buyer’s device — no email digging and no internet needed at the gate.

Gate staff sign in with a per-event PIN on any phone or tablet browser, point the camera at the buyer’s QR code, and the system instantly validates, marks the ticket checked in, and shows the ticket type. Day-aware logic prevents accidental duplicate scans on multi-day events. Optional check-out and re-entry flows are available.

Preventing ticket sharing was top of mind from day one. Each ticket has a unique QR code that’s tracked the moment it’s scanned — staff see green ADMITTED on the first scan, yellow RE-ENTRY on a return, and red DENIED if the ticket is voided or doesn’t belong to this event. You control whether re-entry is allowed per event, every scan is attributed to the staff PIN that performed it, and real-time analytics plus a full audit log let you spot anything suspicious immediately.

Your organization is. Sketchplay Ticketing uses Stripe Connect Standard with Direct Charges, which means the charge lives on your Stripe account, your name appears on the buyer’s credit card statement, and funds pay out directly to your bank. No middleman holding your money.

Yes. Full and partial refunds are one click from the order detail screen, with an optional checkbox to void the ticket so it cannot be scanned at the gate. Refunds process through Stripe directly and appear on the buyer’s statement in 5 to 10 business days.

Tournaments, camps, clinics, showcases, leagues, all-star games, fundraisers, parent banquets, championship games, parking, raffles, and any event where you want to control entry with a ticket. You can configure Adult, Child, VIP, Family, or fully custom ticket types per event, with discount codes, capacity limits, and ticket sale windows.

Yes. If your organization already runs registration, scheduling, or evaluations on Sketchplay, your events, organization profile, and admin accounts sync automatically. Existing Sketchplay clients can enable ticketing without re-entering any data.

No. Every event gets a clean public ticket page that you can share via text, email, social media, or QR code on flyers. You can also embed the ticket widget on your own website if you prefer.

Yes! Sketchplay Ticketing offers a one-click-to-copy embed widget that you can drop directly into your existing website. Fans can purchase tickets in advance of the event, which relieves stress on your gate during the event itself.

No. There are no contracts, no setup fees, and no monthly minimums. You pay only when you sell tickets. Stop using Sketchplay Ticketing any time without penalty.

Your next tournament is your first paid-on-time tournament.

Stop chasing money. Start running events. Sketchplay Ticketing is live and ready when you are.
