Event Management Without Platform Commission on Every Ticket

Generic event ticketing platforms — Eventbrite, Ticket Tailor — charge per-ticket fees or monthly subscriptions plus a percentage of ticket revenue. For a Cumbrian community organisation or training business running regular events, these costs compound significantly over a year.

Our Event Management plugin runs entirely on your WordPress site. You sell tickets directly. Payment via WooCommerce — Stripe and PayPal. Every penny of ticket revenue goes to your organisation, not to an event platform.

How the Event Management Plugin Works

Six features covering the full event creation, ticketing, and attendee management workflow.

Event Creation Tools

Create events with full details — title, description, location (physical or online), start and end dates and times, featured imagery, and event categories. Recurring event support for regular courses, workshops, and community meetings. Events displayed in calendar view and list view on your site.

Multiple Ticket Types

Adult, child, concession, member, early-bird, group — as many ticket types as your event requires, each with its own price, capacity allocation, and availability window. Early-bird tickets automatically close when the window ends or the allocation sells out. Member tickets visible only to logged-in members.

Capacity Management

Total event capacity and per-ticket-type capacity managed simultaneously. Selling 50 adult and 20 child tickets to a 60-person venue — the system prevents combined sales exceeding venue capacity while enforcing per-type limits. The capacity logic that event organisers actually need.

Attendee Data Capture

Collect the attendee information your event requires at the point of booking — dietary requirements, emergency contacts, accessibility needs, t-shirt sizes, skill levels. Custom fields per event type. Full attendee list export for event day management as a spreadsheet or PDF.

Waitlist System

When events sell out, attendees join a waitlist automatically. When a cancellation creates a space, the next person on the waitlist receives an automatic notification with a time-limited booking link. Maximises attendance at sold-out events without manual waitlist management.

WooCommerce Payments

Ticket sales processed via WooCommerce — Stripe and PayPal. Full payment at booking or deposit-and-balance for higher-priced events. Automated booking confirmation with ticket details. Pre-event reminder emails. The payment and communication infrastructure built into the event workflow.

Every Ticket Sale Revenue Stays With Your Organisation

Eventbrite charges a service fee on every ticket — typically 3.5-6.5% plus a fixed amount per ticket. On a £25 ticket, that is £1.50-£2.00 per sale going to Eventbrite. For a Cumbrian community organisation selling 500 tickets a year at £25 each, that is £750-£1,000 in platform fees annually — every year, indefinitely.

Our Event Management plugin is a one-off build cost. Once built, it is yours. Every ticket sold through your own website generates full revenue for your organisation. No per-ticket fee. No percentage of revenue. No monthly platform subscription. The one-off build cost pays for itself within the first year for organisations with any meaningful event volume.

WooCommerce payment processing costs apply — Stripe charges approximately 1.4% + 20p per transaction for UK cards, which is significantly lower than event platform fees and represents the actual cost of processing the payment rather than a platform margin.

Fixed Price. Written Specification. You Own the Code.

Every plugin we build starts with a written specification. Every feature, every data flow, every integration documented before we write a line of code. The price is fixed against that specification — not an estimate that grows as the project develops.

Your custom-built work is yours on delivery. The code, the database, the documentation. No platform dependency. If you want another developer to extend it in the future, you have everything they need. We write to professional WordPress coding standards and document as we go — not as an afterthought at project end.

We stay involved after launch. Bug fixes for issues arising from our code are covered for an initial period after delivery. For ongoing feature development, WordPress version compatibility updates, and extended support, we offer retainers or ad-hoc arrangements — whatever suits your business. Most software evolves after initial delivery, and we build long-term relationships with clients.

Based in Millom, South Cumbria. When you contact us, you get a response from someone who knows your project. Available outside normal hours for clients whose plugins are business-critical.

Event Ticketing Without Platform Commission — Built for Cumbrian Organisations

Eventbrite, Ticket Tailor, and similar ticketing platforms charge per-ticket fees — typically between 3% and 6.5% plus a fixed fee per ticket. For a Cumbrian organisation running events at £20 per ticket, that can mean losing £1.50 or more on every ticket sold. Over a year of events, the cumulative cost is significant. Our Event Management plugin processes ticket sales through WooCommerce — you pay Stripe's standard processing fee (1.4% + 20p per transaction for UK cards) and nothing else. Every other pound of ticket revenue goes directly to your organisation.

Beyond the financial case, our plugin keeps all your event data on your own server. Attendee names, email addresses, and payment information never leave your WordPress installation unless you choose to export them. For organisations with GDPR obligations or data minimisation requirements, this is a significant advantage over third-party ticketing platforms that retain attendee data indefinitely for their own marketing purposes.

The plugin handles multiple ticket types per event, capacity management with waitlist, attendee tracking for check-in on the day, automated confirmation and reminder emails, and a full financial report per event showing gross revenue, refunds, and net income. Contact us to discuss your event ticketing requirements and see how the plugin would work for your specific event programme.
