Halloween ticketing — free, with 0% fees
Halloween is the busiest few weeks of the year for haunted houses, scare attractions, fancy-dress parties, ghost walks and family pumpkin trails — and almost all of the money lands in a short, frantic window. Ticketable charges 0% in platform fees, so the full ticket price is yours, and a phone at the door scans a costumed queue in quickly, even in a dark field with no signal.
Why organisers choose Ticketable for Halloween events
- Keep the whole peak-season take. When most of your year's revenue comes from a handful of October nights, a per-ticket platform cut really adds up. With 0% platform fees you keep 100% of the ticket price — only Stripe's card processing is deducted, at cost.
- Every night on sale in minutes. Set each night (or each entry wave) up as its own event with its own capacity, so a sold-out Saturday doesn't oversell, and use ticket types for adult, child and family tickets plus discount codes for early-bird or midweek pricing.
- A door that works in the dark. Scan QR tickets with any phone in the free scanner app. Its offline mode keeps the queue moving in a haunted barn, a woodland trail or a basement with no signal, and syncs when you're back online.

Frequently asked questions
Can I sell tickets for a haunted house or scare attraction that runs on several nights?
Yes. Create each night — or each timed entry wave, if you let groups in at intervals — as its own event with its own capacity and ticket types. Buyers pick the night they want, each one sells out independently, and you can check the whole run's sales in real time from the dashboard.
How do I show age guidance or scare warnings on the ticket?
Put it in the event description buyers see before paying, and in the ticket instructions, which print on every PDF ticket and appear on the Apple Wallet pass. That's the place for minimum ages, strobe and fog warnings, 'no touching' rules, costume and mask policies, and when to arrive.
What does it cost to sell Halloween tickets?
Nothing in platform fees — Ticketable charges 0% and has no subscription. You only pay Stripe's standard card processing, passed through at cost, and the money goes straight into your own Stripe account with daily payouts rather than being held until after Halloween.
Can I run a free Halloween event, like a community trail or kids' party?
Yes — free events are fully supported with no fees and no volume cap, and can be published without connecting Stripe. Issuing free tickets still lets you cap numbers, collect contact details and scan families in at the gate.
