Private event ticket sales for invite-only parties, reunions and launches
Your event stays off every public listing. Only the people you invite find the page, the right guests unlock the right tickets with their code, and you know every name before the doors open.

What it looks like in practice
The list is the event
Your class reunion has 180 former pupils on the list and no one else should buy a place. You publish the evening as unlisted, so it never appears on your ticket page, and send the link only to the class group.
Different guests, different tickets
Founders and investors at a product launch get a free ticket; partners pay for a guest ticket. Each group receives its own code, and each code opens only the ticket meant for it.
A code that works once
For a members' evening you create 150 single-use codes in one step and mail one to each member. A forwarded code is spent after the first booking, so your count stays honest.
No strangers at the door
Every ticket carries a name. At the entrance your host searches the guest list on a phone, checks in a couple with one tap, and sees at a glance who has not arrived yet.
Private event ticket sales work differently from a public sale: you want the guests you invited, the number you planned, and nobody who found the link by chance. Event Ticket Hub lets you publish an event as unlisted, so it stays off your public ticket page and is reached only through the link you share. Inside the event, each ticket type can be open to everyone with the link or locked behind an access code, so one event serves your inner circle, plus-ones and paying guests at the same time.
Private events often mix free and paid places. A company summer party gives staff a free ticket and sells partner tickets; a milestone birthday asks friends to chip in for the venue; an alumni dinner charges everyone the same. All of it runs through one checkout with your questions, such as department, plus-one name or dietary needs, and the payments go straight to your own account. On the day, your team checks guests in with the event check-in app on their phones, and the event ticketing overview shows exactly who booked what.
What you get
Unlisted, found only by link
Publish the event without listing it. It does not show on your ticket page, and only people with the link can open it and book.
An access code per ticket type
Lock a ticket so it opens only with a code, shown as locked in the shop or not shown at all. Members, family and staff each unlock their own ticket.
Up to 500 codes at once
Create a whole series of codes in one step, each usable once or as often as you set, with dates when they work. The voucher report shows how often each one was used.
Free and paid places in one event
Put free tickets for invited guests next to paid tickets for plus-ones. Free bookings run through the same checkout, so you get names and answers from everyone.
A name on every ticket
Personalised tickets ask for the guest's name, and the name prints on the ticket. Limit how many tickets one person may buy, so a single guest cannot take ten places.
Guest search at the door
Your host finds any guest by name, email or order number and checks in the whole booking at once. Live numbers show who is still to come.
Set up an invite-only evening in under an hour
An unlisted event, a free ticket for invited guests, a paid ticket for plus-ones and a code for each group: open Event Ticket Hub and see how the pieces fit.
What your guests pay, and what reaches you

How to get started
Get your workspace
Sign up for KIMISUITE and add Event Ticket Hub from the app store. The fourteen-day trial is enough to run a whole private event from invitation to door.
Create the event as unlisted
Add the event with its date and place and choose unlisted visibility. Add a question for anything you need to know, such as a plus-one's name.
Lock the tickets that need it
Create your ticket types, set the private ones to open only with an access code, and create the codes, as a single code for a group or as a series of single-use codes.
Send link and codes
Share the event link and each group's code by email or in your group chat. Bookings come in with names, and every guest receives a ticket with a QR code.
Pricing
Event Ticket Hub starts at a fixed monthly price (see pricing) for the whole workspace. You pay per workspace, not per person on your team, and KIMISUITE adds a 0 % ticket fee to paid tickets. Free tickets stay free. On paid tickets, your payment provider charges its usual fee.
The same workspace serves your next private event, and the one after it.
Is it the right fit?
A good fit if
- Companies running staff parties, launches or client evenings with a fixed guest list
- Reunions, milestone birthdays and private celebrations where guests share the cost
- Members' evenings where only members may book
- Hosts who want names, answers and a clean door list for every guest
Not the right fit if
- Hosts who want one password that opens the whole event page; access works per ticket type
- Organisers who want to import an existing guest list instead of guests booking themselves
- Events that only need a yes or no reply without tickets or a door check
- Anyone who wants the event listed publicly for discovery
