PosterMyWall makes it simple to create tickets for an event online; no plugins, no separate ticketing account, just one page that takes payments, tracks guests, and gets you paid out. It matters more than it used to: 55% of ticket buyers now say they prefer contactless or QR-code entry over paper tickets (Global Growth Insights), which means how you sell and hand out tickets has become as much a part of the event experience as the event itself.
Summary
- PosterMyWall lets you create tickets for an event online in minutes, no separate ticketing software, no plugins.
- Build a free event page, add your ticket types and prices, then connect Stripe to start collecting payments.
- Every event page comes with a built-in registration form, so guest info and guest lists build themselves.
- Promote your event across social, email, and your website, then track sales and check guests in with a QR scan.
Whether you’re running a ticketed workshop, a fundraiser gala, or a full-blown festival, a ticketed event page from PosterMyWall handles ticket sales, guest registration, and check-ins without you needing to stitch together five different tools.
Why should you sell tickets online
Before getting into setup, it’s worth looking at ticketing the way your attendees do. From their side, buying a ticket should take a few taps: they land on your event page, pick a ticket type, pay, and get a QR ticket in their inbox seconds later. No printing, no waiting in a line, no fumbling for a paper stub at the door.
From your side as the organizer, that same page is doing a lot of quiet work like collecting payment, building your guest list, and logging every sale, so you’re not maintaining a spreadsheet by hand or chasing e-transfers in your DMs. That’s the real value of online ticketing: it removes friction for the people buying, and busywork for the people selling.
Where event ticketing comes in handy
Ticketing isn’t just for arena concerts. Some of the most common places people use it:
- Classes and workshops: pottery studios, fitness instructors, and tutors charging per session or per seat.
- Nonprofit fundraisers and galas: where you need to track both ticket sales and donor information.
- Community and cultural events: festivals, markets, and fairs with an entry fee or suggested donation.
- Conferences and networking events: where attendees have to buy tickets to register
- School, church, and private functions: for recitals, banquets, and reunions that need a simple headcount and payment method.
Whatever the occasion, you can create an event online and start selling tickets the same day. There’s no approval process or separate ticketing account to set up first.
How to create your event page
- Head to your Events pages tab in PosterMyWall and Create an event.
- Add your event details: date, time, location, description, and a cover image.
- Customize the page to match your brand or event theme using your Brand Kit.
- Add ticket details if you plan to sell tickets for your event.
- Publish the page to get a shareable link you can send anywhere.
If you’ve already got tickets set up on an older platform or a paper process, this is also where you’d rebuild it. Find full instructions here on how to sell tickets on PosterMyWall.
How to connect Stripe to get paid
You’ll only be prompted to connect Stripe once you set a ticket price above $0 as free tickets and RSVPs skip this step entirely. Stripe processes your payments securely (PosterMyWall never sees or stores card numbers), and you only need to set it up once; after that, it’s connected for every future ticketed event.

Keep in mind payouts aren’t instant as they land in your linked account twice a month, on the 1st and 15th.
How to build your guest registration form
If you’ve ever wondered how to create an online event registration form from scratch, the good news is you don’t have to — every event page lets you manage RSVPs with ease. Choose whichever fields matter for your event: names, emails, phone numbers, meal choices, or anything else you need to know before doors open.
That means you can create an online event registration in the same place you already set up your tickets, instead of juggling a separate form tool. Every submission — ticketed or free RSVP — lands automatically in your Manage RSVPs dashboard, so your guest list builds itself as sales come in.
How to promote your event
Once your page and tickets are live, getting people to it is the next job. PosterMyWall’s event marketing tool gives you a few different ways to spread the word without hiring a marketing team:
- Post it to social media: share your event page directly to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and more in one click.
- Email your list: send announcement and reminder emails to build buzz before the big day.
- Embed it on your website: visitors can register or buy tickets without leaving your site.
- Print QR codes on flyers or posters: useful for in-person, local audiences who’ll scan straight to your event page.
Here’s how those options stack up, depending on your audience and how much time you want to spend:
| Marketing tool | Best for | Setup effort | Typical reach |
| Social media posting | Building quick buzz with an existing following | Low — one-click share | Broad, but algorithm-dependent |
| Email campaigns | Reaching people who already know you | Low to medium | Targeted, higher intent |
| Embedded event page/calendar | Website visitors and repeat guests | One-time setup | Steady, passive |
| Printed flyers with QR codes | Local, in-person foot traffic | Medium (design + printing) | Hyper-local |

How to track sales and check guests in
As sales come in, your dashboard shows tickets sold, revenue, and registrations in real time — so you know how your event is doing before doors even open. You can view and manage everyone who’s registered for your event from the RSVPs tab. Here you’ll see:
- Registrations, page views, and cancellations for your event, at a glance.
- Attendee details including registration ID, name, number of registrations, and status (e.g., Registered) for each person.
On the day of, guests just show the QR ticket from their confirmation email and you scan them in; no printed list, no guessing who’s already arrived.
Key takeaway
You don’t need a separate ticketing platform, a separate registration form, and a separate marketing tool to sell tickets online. PosterMyWall runs your event page, ticket sales, payments, guest list, and promotion from one dashboard, so you spend less time managing tools and more time filling seats.
