Pricing

How is the commission fee handled?

Commissions are deducted from ticket sales. Net proceeds (sales minus commission) are transferred one week after the event. Withholding taxes may apply to individual sellers in Mexico.

Do you offer email accounts?

We do not provide email hosting. Bulk messages are sent from Ticketopolis email addresses intended for that purpose only. If you need full email accounts, please use a third‑party provider.

What happens to my event data after the event ends?

You can view or export event data at any time. You can also reuse past events as templates when creating new ones.

What happens to the information if the account is no longer used?

We retain your account data for two years after your last login. After that period recovery cannot be guaranteed. If you request account deletion, your data will be permanently removed and cannot be restored.

If you explicitly request that we delete all your information, we will not be able to retrieve it at any time.

Can I use Ticketopolis if my event is free?

Yes. You can use Ticketopolis for free events or to manage events without ticket sales. No commission or service fees apply to free events.

Events

What kind of events can be handled with Ticketopolis?

How do I know if my event settings can be handled in Ticketopolis?

If you're unsure, create the event and select the closest category, then customize the settings as needed. If you'd like, our team can provide recommendations during setup or answer any questions.

Yes. You can update event settings, but tickets sold or generated before the change will retain the original information.

How many events can I manage simultaneously?

You can manage as many events as you need: there is no technical limit.

Website

What is a Ticketopolis website?

A Ticketopolis website is hosted on the ticketopolis.com domain and helps you promote your event, answer questions, and sell tickets. It's easy to create and customize, capture attendee information, and upload images. We handle server administration, security, and updates to keep your site fast and available.

What is the custom URL?

A custom URL is a short path that represents your event within the Ticketopolis domain (for example: www.ticketopolis.com/yourevent). It points to your event page and box office. For recurring events, choose a reusable name (avoid including edition numbers) so the URL builds recognition and is easier for attendees to remember.

What kind of files can I upload to Ticketopolis website?

Supported image formats: JPG, GIF, and PNG. Videos can't be uploaded directly, embed YouTube links instead. Executable and compressed files are not allowed for security reasons.

How often can I update the content of the Ticketopolis website?

You can update content anytime. Changes (text, images, or design) may take up to 15 minutes to propagate because they are replicated across servers worldwide.

Do I need any special software to edit the Ticketopolis website?

No special software is required. Basic editing tools are included in the platform. For advanced image editing, use a dedicated design application.

Do I need to hire hosting with another company?

No. Cloud hosting is included with all our services to ensure availability and fast performance for your website, admin system, and box office.

Can I use my own domain on Ticketopolis website?

At this time you cannot add an external domain to your Ticketopolis website. We recommend using the full Ticketopolis URL in communications to build trust and transparency with attendees.

Can I edit the HTML or CSS of Ticketopolis website?

The content editor maintains a consistent style across the page and does not allow direct HTML/CSS edits. This ensures a harmonious design on all devices.

Can visitors statistics be tracked via Google® Analytics or Facebook® Pixel?

You can track visitors with Google® Analytics or a Facebook® Pixel. Paste your tracking code or Pixel ID into your website settings.

Mass communication

Is there a limit on the number of emails that can be sent per campaign?

There's no strict limit on campaign emails, but we may recommend spacing campaigns to avoid over-messaging your audience.

Can I import the email addresses of my contacts?

For privacy and security, importing email addresses is not allowed. Email campaigns may only be sent to attendees of current or past events who have accepted our Terms of Service and Privacy Notice.

How can I prevent my emails from being marked as spam?

Registration & ticket sales

How many types of tickets can I create?

There is no limit, you can create as many ticket types as you need.

What can I customize for each type of ticket?

For each ticket type you can set the title, price, description, included activities, admission type, attendee data fields, quantity, availability dates, and visibility (public or private via promo code).

Can I sell additional activities or items to the ticket?

Yes. The platform supports add-on tickets (no admission) for merchandise or extra activities. Add-ons are available only to buyers of an admission ticket.

Can I buy multiple tickets on the same purchase order?

It depends on the event settings. You can restrict purchases to one ticket per order if you need attendee details for every ticket. Otherwise, multiple tickets can be purchased in a single order with only the buyer’s details required.

Can I restrict the quota?

Yes. You can set quantities at the event, ticket-type, and activity levels to prevent overselling.

What happens if the buyer doesn't receive the emails?

The platform detects delivery issues. Attendees can correct mistyped emails in the app. Organizers receive reports on bounced or undelivered messages. We also send tickets via WhatsApp®.

Can the same promotion code be used on multiple orders?

It depends on how the code is configured. Public codes can be used by multiple buyers (good for mass promotions); single-use codes are unique and can only be redeemed once (ideal for email promotions).

What do you mean by automating the tracking process?

The platform automatically sends payment reminders and reservation authorization notices, reducing administrative workload.

How do attendees know their registration was successful?

Attendees receive a confirmation email with reservation details. After payment is authorized, they receive a second email with their ticket attached.

Ticket payments

What payment methods can be handled at Ticketopolis?

We accept credit and debit cards, bank transfers, cash payments at convenience stores, and cryptocurrencies.

Does Ticketopolis keep bank information of credit cards used to make payments?

Ticketopolis does not process or store credit‑card data. Payments are handled by PCI‑compliant payment gateways.

Can I offer tickets at no cost to attendees or with a voluntary contribution?

Yes, Ticketopolis is prepared to offer tickets at no cost or where the buyer indicates the amount of a voluntary contribution or donation. If the ticket is free, you do not pay commission to Ticketopolis.

Event management

Can Ticketopolis be used to register the attendees ourselves?

Yes. Besides the public box office, organizers can register attendees manually—on site (booth), in an office, or by phone. This is useful for cash payments or when attendees prefer personal assistance.

Can I charge a higher fee when I offer telephone registration service?

Yes. You can register tickets at a higher price that aren’t visible in the public box office and are selectable only by administrators.

Is there a way to print certificates, credentials, badges or labels with attendees data?

Yes. The platform includes templates to easily print event stationery, badges, certificates, and labels.
