Events are a great way to fill quieter nights and grow average spend — but managing them through DMs, spreadsheets and bank transfers is painful. Event ticketing software lets guests pay and reserve their place online, with capacity handled automatically.
TableGo includes built-in event ticketing. Create an event with one or more dates and times, set the capacity and ticket prices, publish it, and start selling. Payments run through Stripe, and Pro charges 0% TableGo platform fee on ticket sales.

How event ticketing works in TableGo
- Create your event: Add a name, description, images, one or more dates and times with their own capacity, and ticket types such as adult, child, family or free.
- Control how tickets sell: Schedule when ticket sales open and close, and set the minimum and maximum guests per order.
- Publish and share: Make events public, or keep them unlisted and share a direct link for private campaigns.
- Track orders & refunds: Monitor tickets sold and revenue, inspect each order, and process refunds when needed.
- Move a date: Reschedule a date and time to later. Its orders and refund deadlines move with it, and guests are emailed the new date and time.
Promote events, sell on the door and handle refunds
Show events where guests already book, keep the guest list complete on the night, and let guests refund within your policy.
- What's on in your booking widget: Feature a public event and it appears in a “What's on” row in your booking widget, on your booking link and your website embed. Up to three featured events show, soonest first, each linking to its ticket page.
- Door sales: Owners and managers can add tickets from the event's orders and record them as cash, complimentary or another payment. They come off the same capacity as online sales, and the guest gets a confirmation email if you add their address.
- A clear refund policy: Choose Non-refundable, or Refundable until a cutoff before each date and time starts: 1, 2, 3 or 7 days, or a custom number of hours. Guests see the policy before they pay and again in their confirmation email.
- Guests refund their own orders: Until your cutoff before their date and time starts, guests can refund their online order from the Manage Order link in their confirmation email. The full amount goes back through Stripe and the refund shows in your dashboard.
Frequently asked questions
Can I sell tickets for restaurant events online?
Yes. TableGo includes event ticketing. Create an event, set the capacity and price, and sell tickets online through Stripe Checkout. Capacity and orders are tracked automatically.
Can I limit how many tickets one person buys?
Yes. Set the minimum and maximum guests per order for each event to keep availability fair and prevent bulk buys. If you leave the maximum empty, an online order can admit up to 30 guests; orders your team adds have no limit.
What fees apply to ticket sales?
Stripe charges standard card processing fees. TableGo's platform fee on event ticket sales is 3.5% on the free Basic plan and 0% on Pro. There are no per-cover fees.
Can I keep an event hidden while I set it up?
Yes. Use Draft while preparing, then publish when ready. You can also use Unlisted to keep an event off public listings but available via a direct link.
Can I show events in my booking widget?
Yes. Turn on Feature in booking widget for a public event and it appears in the “What's on” row of your booking widget, on your booking link and your website embed. Up to three featured events show at once, soonest first.
Can I sell tickets on the door?
Yes. Owners and managers can add tickets to an event from the dashboard and record them as cash, complimentary or another payment. They count towards the event's capacity alongside online sales, so remaining tickets stay accurate.
Can I refund event ticket orders?
Yes. Owners and managers can refund an order from the event detail screen, with status updates and notes kept for your records.
Can guests refund their own tickets?
Yes, if the event is Refundable until a cutoff. Set the cutoff in hours or days before each date and time starts, and until then guests can refund their own online order from the Manage Order link in their confirmation email. For example, with a 48-hour cutoff on a Saturday 19:00 sitting, refunds close on Thursday at 19:00. Each order keeps the deadline it was bought with, and the full amount goes back through Stripe. If the event is Non-refundable, guests can't refund themselves.
