CHEERS TICKETS

Event Host Guide

Sell tickets, get paid, and own the whole event. Written for promoters, not developers.

Last updated: August 8, 2026

Hosting on Cheers Tickets is intuitive. Make an account, build your event, add ticket tiers, share the link. Pay with card or crypto, doesn't matter. The difference shows up the moment someone hits buy: your revenue lands under your control. Nobody has to approve your event first. No censorship. You don't need to know anything about crypto to sell out a room, that part happens automatically, behind the scenes, the same way a normal payment processor works on any other site.

GETTING STARTED IN MINUTES

  • 1. Create your account

    Just an email address. A secure wallet is created for you automatically behind the scenes — no seed phrase, no extension to install.

  • 2. Build your event

    Name, date, venue, description, and any performers or keywords. Same handful of steps as any ticketing platform.

  • 3. Add ticket tiers

    Set prices and capacity for as many tiers as you need, plus free comp tickets for staff, press, or guests.

  • 4. Publish

    No approval wait, no review queue. Your event is live and sellable immediately.

Give yourself a three-day head start: events must be created (or edited) at least three days before doors open.


HOW YOUR FANS PAY

Every buyer picks how they pay. Cheers never forces anyone into crypto, and both paths lead to the exact same thing: a real ticket that scans at the door and counts toward your sales.

Debit or Credit Card

Fans log in with their email and pay with a normal card, the same experience as Ticketmaster or Eventbrite. A wallet is created for them automatically in the background — they never have to see the word "blockchain" unless they go looking for it.

Crypto Wallet

Fans who already hold crypto can connect their own wallet (MetaMask and others) and pay directly on-chain. Same seat, same ticket, just a different way to pay. No extra setup required from you either way.

One system, not two: however a fan pays, it shows up the same way in your dashboard — one sales count, one revenue balance, one QR code system at the door.


GETTING PAID — FEES & TIMING

Buying a ticket

Fan pays

0%

Face price only — no service, processing, or facility fees added at checkout.

Withdrawing your revenue

You pay

5% flat

Charged once, only when you withdraw — never per ticket sold.

Refund or cancellation

0%

Full amount returned to the fan, automatically. No cut taken, ever.

Beyond those, the only other cost is the network fee each transaction carries. Publishing an event runs a few cents, and every other action — selling a ticket, issuing a refund, editing an event — lands well under a penny. Payable with a card, so there is nothing to hold or top up.

Standard timing: revenue becomes withdrawable three days after your event, a short window that protects hosts and fans alike. Open your dashboard, click the three dots on your event, and select Withdraw. No request form, no support ticket, no waiting on someone to cut a check.


SKIP THE WAIT — EARLY WITHDRAWALS

Running events often enough that the 3-day hold affects your cash flow? Complete a one-time identity check with Cheers Tickets support, get approved, and withdraw that event's revenue any time, as many times as you like, as sales come in. It's entirely optional, and ticket sales are never paused or slowed either way.


BUILT-IN PROTECTION, NO SETUP REQUIRED

✔️ No ID required to host, sell, or get paid on the standard timeline — verification is optional and only unlocks early withdrawals.
✔️ Every ticket has its own permanent, unique identity. The first valid scan at the door marks it used for good, even after resale.
✔️ Resale is locked at face value platform-wide — nobody can mark up a ticket they resell.
✔️ Optional per-wallet purchase limits stop bots from buying out a tier in seconds.
✔️ Nobody at Cheers Tickets, not even Cheers itself, can pull your event down or seize the funds sitting in it.


WHY IT RUNS ON BLOCKCHAIN (YOU'LL NEVER NOTICE)

Every ticket is minted on-chain: transparent, verifiable, and impossible to fake or duplicate. That's what makes zero-fee buying, face-value resale, and revenue nobody can freeze possible in the first place. It also costs almost nothing to run: pennies per event, fractions of a cent per ticket. You get all of that without ever touching a crypto exchange, writing down a seed phrase, or learning a new interface. If hosting an event elsewhere means an email and a credit card, hosting on Cheers means exactly the same thing.


"No gatekeepers, no permission required. Just a decentralized, censorship-resistant way to buy and sell tickets without getting robbed by hidden fees and corporate bullshit."
