If you’re still collecting tournament money through CashApp or Venmo…
You already know the cost. Missed payments. No paper trail. Awkward refunds. No way to stop fake screenshots at the gate. Hours of manual reconciliation after every event. You’re losing money!
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!
Start Selling Tickets FreeWhat you stop doing on Day 1
- Chasing fake Venmo and Zelle ticket screenshots
- Manually checking a printed list at the gate
- Using physical equipment to process payments
- Refunding cash out of your own wallet
- Wondering if you actually got paid
- Building a new spreadsheet for every event
Everything you need to sell, scan, and get paid.
Six things that make Sketchplay Ticketing different from generic event platforms.
Apple Pay, Google Pay + Apple Wallet for every ticket.
Buyers tap once with Face ID or fingerprint and they’re in. Every paid ticket gets an Add to Apple Wallet button so the QR code lives on the buyer’s device. No email digging, no internet needed at the gate.
- Apple Pay, Google Pay, and credit card at checkout
- One-tap Add to Apple Wallet on event ticket confirmation
- Works offline at the gate. QR cached in your device Wallet
Turn any phone or tablet into a gate scanner.
Staff sign in with their personal PIN, open the camera, and scan. Sketchplay Tickets validate instantly with green ADMITTED, yellow RE-ENTRY, or red DENIED ticketing states. Sketchplay’s Day-Aware logic prevents accidental double-scans on multi-day tournaments.
- Per-staff PINs attribute every scan to a single person
- Manual ticket-code entry as a fallback
- Optional check-out + re-entry flows for all events
