Selling Tickets for Your Events

Tanguear includes a complete ticketing system that lets any publisher sell tickets for milongas, workshops, festivals, and concerts — directly inside the app. Any user can become a publisher from Settings > Publisher Preferences. Attendees can purchase, receive, and present their tickets without ever leaving Tanguear.

How ticketing works on Tanguear

The ticketing flow is straightforward:

1. You set a price on your event schedule
2. Attendees add tickets to their cart and pay securely with a credit or debit card
3. Tanguear generates a unique ticket with a QR code for each purchase
4. At the door, you scan the QR code to check the attendee in

Behind the scenes, payments are processed through Stripe, a trusted and secure payment platform used worldwide. You do not need to handle card details — Stripe takes care of everything.

Before you start: connect your Stripe account

To receive payments, you need to complete a one-time setup called Stripe Connect onboarding. You can do this from the mobile app or from the Publisher Area on the web.

This links your bank account to Tanguear so that ticket revenue is transferred directly to you. Once your Stripe account is connected, you are ready to sell.

Setting up ticket sales

Ticket sales are tied to Schedules (see the guide on Events, Schedules, and Recurrences).

Setting the price

• Price — enter the amount in euros (from 0 to 300)
  • A price of 0 means the event is free — no ticket purchase is required
  • Any price above 0 automatically enables ticket selling for that schedule

Free events with donations

If your event is free but you would like attendees to contribute voluntarily:

• Set the price to 0
• Toggle Accept donations on

Setting the capacity

• Maximum capacity — the maximum number of attendees for this schedule
• Set to 0 for unlimited capacity
• When a capacity is set, ticket sales stop automatically once the limit is reached

Pricing for recurring events

If your event uses a Recurrence pattern (e.g., every week), the base price applies to all generated dates. You can override the price for specific dates — for example, charging more for a special New Year's Eve milonga.

What happens next

Once your event is published with a price, attendees can start buying tickets. The following guides cover each part of the process in detail: how attendees buy tickets, how you scan them at the door, how refunds work, and how to use the Publisher Area to manage everything from your computer.
