Ticketing
Sell your tickets, keep 100% of the price.
Buyers see an all-in price, get a QR ticket and an Apple Wallet pass, and walk through the door without an app. You receive the face value of every ticket, paid out the day after the night.
- 8% + $0.75 per paid ticket, paid by the buyer
- Paid out the day after the night
- No Stripe account to create
The price, plainly
One formula: 8% + $0.75 per paid ticket.
Fees are paid by the buyer and included in the displayed price — never a "+ fees" at checkout. You receive 100% of the price you set.
In Canadian dollars, taxes extra. A free ticket costs nothing.

An honest comparison, on a $20 ticket
What the buyer pays in total, taxes extra, from each platform's public fee schedule. We owe you the full comparison, Zeffy included.
| Platform | The buyer pays | You receive | What to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hostasoirée | $22.35 | $20.00 | Fees included in the displayed price. The bar, the room, the door and the calendar in one place. |
| Lepointdevente | ≈ $21.80 | $20.00 | Fees often added at checkout; no link to a bar, no app-free scanner. |
| Eventbrite | $23.18 | $20.00 | Higher fees, payout a few days after the night. |
| Zeffy | $20.00 | $20.00 | Free for non-profits: Zeffy lives on tips left by buyers. If you are a non-profit and only need a form, it is a good choice. |
What we add: the bar and the room booked in the same place, an app-free door scanner, and the bar's calendar kept up to date.
Public fee schedules as of September 2026, rounded to the cent. Platforms change their schedules; ours is written here and in your terms.
How it works
Four steps, no app.
From the first line of the form to the money in your account, it all fits in a week — and the door fits in a pocket.
Create the night in 3 minutes
Title, date, bar, ticket types and prices. No Stripe account to open: your payout details are entered in Hostasoirée.
Share the link
A clean link with a proper preview in messaging apps and on Instagram. Paste it in the group chat, the story, the email.
People buy and get their ticket
Credit card, all-in price, QR ticket by email, Apple Wallet pass and add-to-calendar. Nothing to install, no account to create.
Scan at the door, the money arrives the next day
Your volunteers open a link on their own phone and scan. Each ticket enters only once. The payout leaves the day after the night.
Who it is for
For every night that sells at the door.
The same ticketing whether you fill a bar once a year or every Thursday.
Student associations
Back-to-school party, initiations, year-end ball. The treasurer sees sales live, volunteers hold the door, nobody fronts any money.
Companies
5 à 7, holiday party, launch. Named tickets, a clean guest list and a clear invoice for accounting.
Promoters
Several ticket types, presale and door, sales tracked by the minute, payout the next day to line up the next date.
The bar itself
Your own nights, with your own tickets. Ticketing is included in the bar's subscription; slow nights fill up from the same calendar.
What the buyer sees
A clear page, a ticket that fits in the hand.
Three screens and nothing else: the purchase page, the QR ticket received by email, the pass in Apple Wallet.

Trust and the law
Built for Quebec, written in black and white.
Ticketing that respects the law protects the organizer as much as the buyer. Here is what we hold to.
All-in price
The advertised price is the price paid, fees included, as Quebec's Consumer Protection Act requires. Only taxes are added.
Full refund if the night is cancelled
Night cancelled: every buyer is refunded the full amount, fees included, with nothing to do.
Protected data
Law 25: a name, an email, nothing more. No tracking cookies, and a named privacy officer.
Separate marketing consent
Buyers choose for themselves whether they want your news. The box is never pre-checked and is withdrawn in one click.
18+, RACJ recalled
The minimum age is shown before purchase. The bar remains the holder of its liquor licence and responsible for its room.
You remain the seller
The organizer is the seller of the ticket and responsible for the night. Hostasoirée is the intermediary that collects on your behalf and pays you out.
Frequently asked questions
What we get asked before the first night
- How much are the fees?
- 8% of the price + $0.75 per paid ticket, paid by the buyer and included in the displayed price. On a $20 ticket, the buyer pays $22.35 and you receive $20.00. Taxes apply to the fees; to the ticket price only if you are registered for taxes.
- When do I get paid?
- The payout leaves the day after the night, to the bank details you entered in your account. It arrives within the usual transfer times.
- Do I need a Stripe account?
- No. You enter your payout details in Hostasoirée. We collect as the organizer's agent and pay you the face value of your tickets.
- How do refunds work?
- You set your policy and it is shown before purchase. A refund takes one click from the order list; the ticket is voided at the door at the same moment.
- What if I have to cancel the night?
- Every buyer is refunded in full, fees included, and notified by email. You owe nothing.
- Can I offer free tickets?
- Yes. A free ticket costs nothing: no fees, no taxes. It carries a QR code like the others and counts in the guest list.
- Can I sell several ticket types?
- Yes: presale, door, VIP, table, member or non-member, each with its price, quantity and sales window.
- Does the scanner work without network?
- The door is held from any phone, with no app and no account for volunteers. A connection is needed to validate each ticket; if it drops, the guest list opens and is checked by hand.
