The Challenge
Running ticketed events means you're carrying costs before a single ticket is sold. Selling out isn't just a vanity metric. It's the difference between a profitable night and an expensive one.
Most event operators manage this across too many tools: a ticketing platform that takes a cut of every sale, a spreadsheet for the guest list, manual check-in on the door, and no clean way to contact last event's audience when the next one goes on sale.
And when tickets do go through a commission-based platform, that percentage compounds across every booking. A busy event season looks great until you subtract what goes to platform fees.
Zero booking fees on direct ticket sales. Real-time availability so you know exactly where you stand. QR code check-in at the door. And every attendee automatically added to a customer database you own.
How It Works
1
List your event with ticket types, pricing, capacity, and any attendee questions you need answered at the point of purchase. Configure your refund and cancellation terms once. Enable gift vouchers if the event suits them. Your booking page is live and ready to sell.
2
Accept ticket sales from your website and social media around the clock. Availability updates in real time. On the night, sell more tickest with POS, manage attendee check-in with QR code scanning from a phone or webcam. No paper lists, no manual ticking.
3
Every attendee who books directly is added to your customer database. After the event, send automated review requests. When your next event goes on sale, email your past audience first. The people who came last time are your warmest leads for next time, and you own that relationship.
When attendees book directly through your Nabooki-powered page, there are no per-booking fees and no commission on the sale. You pay a simple monthly subscription, regardless of how many tickets you sell through your direct channel.
On a sold-out event, that's real money that stays in your business rather than going to platform fees.

Your remaining capacity is always visible and always accurate, across every channel where you're selling. When you're sold out, you're sold out: no manual updates, no risk of overselling, no awkward conversations at the door.
Confidence that what customers see is what you actually have.
.avif)
Take full or partial payment at the time of booking to secure spots. Nabooki sends automated email and SMS reminders before the event so attendees show up. Fewer no-shows means better utilisation of a capacity you've already paid for.
You've invested in putting the event on. The booking system should protect that investment.
.avif)
Manage attendee entry with QR code scanning from a mobile phone or webcam. No paper guest lists, no manual ticking, no queues building up while you find names on a spreadsheet. Check-ins are logged in real time so you always know how many people are in the venue.
A professional arrival experience that matches the quality of the event itself.
.avif)
Offer multiple ticket categories: general admission, VIP, early bird, group rates, closed-group offers. Run promotional pricing, set up and track referrals to drive early sales and fill slower periods.
The right pricing strategy for every stage of your event's sales cycle.
.avif)
Every direct booking automatically enriches your CRM with attendee contact details and booking history. After the event, send a review request. When your next event launches, email your past audience before anyone else.
Each event you run makes the next one easier to sell.

Nabooki powers tourism marketplace programs including South Australia's Coast is Calling, giving operators professional booking infrastructure with government backing. We serve everyone from solo operators to major attractions, with the same commitment to independence and control.
I now only spend about a quarter of the time on the phone and quite often when I have a missed call because I'm on the boat providing a lesson, I'll return the call only to find out they have already booked online. The support is great, and help is always available when needed.

Nabooki have been fantastic and super quick to respond to every question. Early on, they identified that the way we were handling our bookings was going to be inefficient and helped set us up in a better way.

Less flexibility to adjust schedules and availability when you need it
Success Story
You run a ticketed dinner event in April. It sells out through your direct booking page, no platform taking a cut of each ticket. On the night, check-in runs smoothly with QR codes. Every attendee's details are already in your database.
The following morning, Nabooki sends an automated review request. Several guests leave five-star reviews, which appear on your website.
That's the compounding advantage of owning your attendee database. Each event you run makes the next one easier to sell.
No booking fees, no algorithm deciding who sees your next launch, no restrictions.
