From idea to sold-out event — BookSharpSharp handles ticketing, check-in, voting, and payouts, so you can focus on the experience.

2
Set Up Tickets & Voting
Create ticket tiers (Regular, VIP, VVIP Tables). For voting events, add categories, contestants, and vote packages. Set prices and capacities your way.
3
Promote & Share
Share your event link on WhatsApp, Twitter/X, and Instagram. Use the built-in SMS blast and email campaign tools to reach your audience directly.
4

Payments go straight to your account via Paystack or Flutterwave. Use the QR check-in scanner on the day and track revenue in real time on your dashboard.
Create Your First Event

Everything an organizer needs

No third-party tools. No integrations. It all lives in BookSharpSharp.

Multi-tier Ticketing
Regular, VIP, VVIP Tables — unlimited tiers with individual pricing, capacities, and perks listed on your event page.
QR Check-in Scanner
Scan tickets at the gate from any phone or tablet. Offline-first, works without internet. Live attendance counter on your dashboard.
Voting System
Run pageants, talent shows, and fan votes with BookSharpSharp Voting 2.0 — live leaderboard, vote packs, anti-fraud detection, and 80/20 revenue split.
Analytics Dashboard
Revenue velocity chart, sales funnel, demographic breakdown, marketing attribution, and post-event PDF report — all in one dashboard.
AI-powered Tools
Sharp AI generates SMS copy, WhatsApp blasts, and social captions for your event. It also reads your analytics and gives plain-English recommendations.
Private & Unlisted Events
Keep an event off the public listing. Private events get a secure invite link with a unique token — only guests with your link can view and buy tickets.

Private & Unlisted Events — Explained

Some events aren't meant for the general public. BookSharpSharp gives you three visibility options when creating any event:

Public Appears in listings, searchable, open to everyone.
Unlisted Not in listings, but the event page loads for anyone with the URL — great for sharing via WhatsApp.
Private Token-protected. Only people with your exact invite link (containing a 48-character secret token) can access the event page. Without it, they see a "Private Event" wall.

Discover, book, show up
