Tickera – Sell Tickets & Manage Events

Description

Tickera lets you sell tickets on WordPress, manage event registration, and run ticket sales end-to-end on your own domain. Create an event, add tickets, deliver PDF tickets with QR/Barcodes, and check in attendees at the door. You keep the revenue – no middleman fees taken by Tickera.

For ticket scanning, use integrated Barcode readers. If you want mobile check-in on phones, our premium Checkinera apps for iOS/Android enable blazing-fast scanning – even offline after sync. There’s also a Checkinera web app that turns any modern browser into a fully-fledged check-in desk.

October 22, 2025
Really great plugin, even in difficult setups together with WooCommerce – and the support is really great! They very swiftly fixed a problem that we had even though it was with an not official function. Check out their website, they have a ton of FAQs and additional solutions for the experienced user – but the plugin also works “right out of the box”

The plugin is good, very good. We’ve been using it for 5 years now and after selling +300k tickets we can say it’s maybe the best out there. Sometimes we’ve found some extra options we may need and are not available, but we know it’s in the end a WordPress plugin, and it will never be 100% tailored to our needs. What I’d like to stand out is the AMAZING tech support. Every question we had or bug, error or faulty behaviour of the plugin we found (even when it was our fault or a problem with another plugin) they answered in less than 48h, and solved it quickly, sometimes with a specific update. When you deal with big attendance events, it can be very stressful to find an error with the system you use to check in all the guests, and being able to rely on the creators of the plugin has been always amazing.

Had a issue with the ticket scan tool and posted a support ticket. Problem was solved within a half hour. Big thumb up.

We paid for the Developer Bundle. There were a few issues and a few customizations and the tech support team were very responsive and helpful. They offered solutions, even before they were released in the next revision.

I had an issue with my theme compatibility—not the plugin itself—but the Tickera support team was still super persistent and helped resolve my layout issue. Their support went above and beyond. Really appreciate it—thanks
