Tickets and external ticket links
There are three ways to get into an event. Free events hosted on TiketCaribbean give you a free ticket with a QR code in My Tickets, which works offline. Paid events hosted on TiketCaribbean let you buy tickets by card on Stripe's secure page, with the booking fee shown before you pay. Events sold elsewhere show a Get tickets button that opens the seller's site in your browser.

How do I get a free ticket?
- 1
Open the event and tap Get free ticket
You need to be signed in. The app shows the ticket types and how many are left.
- 2
Choose your quantity
There is a per-order limit set by the organiser and a cap on the total across ticket types. The follow-organiser checkbox is on by default; untick it if you prefer.
- 3
Confirm
Your tickets appear in My Tickets straight away and a confirmation email is sent. Each ticket has its own QR code.
QR codes work offline
Once a ticket has loaded in My Tickets, its QR code stays available with no signal. Open it before you reach the venue and turn your brightness up.
How do external ticket links work?
An External Listing is an event the organiser promotes on TiketCaribbean while selling tickets on another platform. Tapping Get tickets (or Visit Event Website) opens that site in your browser; some listings offer a second link as an alternative. TiketCaribbean does not process the payment, issue the ticket or hold your data for that purchase. If the link is broken, see My ticket link isn't working.
Can I buy paid tickets on TiketCaribbean?
Yes, for events whose organisers we have approved
Paid events hosted on TiketCaribbean can be bought in the app or on the website. You pay by card on Stripe's secure page, our 6.5% booking fee (minimum 50p per ticket) is shown as its own line before you pay, and your tickets land in My Tickets just like free ones. See Buying paid tickets.
What is the waitlist?
When an event on TiketCaribbean sells out and the organiser has enabled a waitlist, the button changes to Join waitlist. If tickets become available you get a notification and a hold of about 30 minutes to Claim your spot. You can leave the waitlist at any time from the event page.
Can I add my ticket to my phone wallet?
Google Wallet is available on Android from the ticket screen. Apple Wallet passes are coming soon; iPhone users use the QR code in My Tickets, which works offline.
