Why it matters

What it will change.

Event organisers in Nigeria lose money in two places: at the gate, where fake and duplicate tickets get people in for free, and in payments, where buyers pay on a dozen rails and nobody can match a transfer to a ticket.

Events and ticketing on Bridge will cover the whole run: organisers and their teams, venues and seat maps, tiers with promo and access codes, a waiting room for big drops, tickets held while the buyer pays on any rail, transfers and resale between buyers, a box office, and gate devices that scan even without a network.

Postponements and cancellations will run refunds by the tier's policy, and organisers will be settled after a challenge window, with an early payout available.

How it works

Step by step.

  1. Set up the event

    Organiser team, venue and seat map, tiers, promo codes and access codes.

  2. Sell

    Buyers will join a waiting room for big drops, tickets will be held while they pay, and they'll pay by wallet or any external rail.

  3. Move tickets

    Buyers will transfer tickets to friends or list them for resale, and the original ticket will stop working.

  4. Run the gate

    Gate devices will sync the manifest, scan online or offline, and upload scans to catch duplicate entry.

  5. Settle

    After the challenge window the organiser will be settled, or can take an early payout.

What it will do

Built in, not bolted on.

Seat maps and tiers

Import a venue's seat map, price tiers, and limit access with codes.

Waiting rooms

A queue for big drops, so the sale won't fall over when everyone arrives at once.

Holds that expire

Tickets will be held while the buyer pays; a payment that arrives after the hold expired will be handled, not lost.

Transfer and resale

Buyers will pass tickets on safely, and the old ticket will be revoked the moment the new one is issued.

Offline scanning

Gates will keep working without a network and catch duplicate entry once they reconnect.

Refunds by policy

Postpone, cancel or refund per tier policy, with buyers able to opt out of a new date.

Use cases

How businesses could use it.

Illustrative businesses, not customers. Figures are made up to show the flow.

A concert promoter in Lagos · Merchants & e-commerce

A concert with thousands at the gate

At the last show, the network collapsed at the gate, staff waved people in, and screenshots of the same ticket got dozens through.

  1. Gate devices will sync the manifest before doors open
  2. Each ticket will scan offline and be marked used on that device
  3. Scans will upload when the network returns, and duplicate entries will be flagged
  4. A device that goes missing will be revoked

The gate will keep moving with no network, and a copied ticket will get one person in, not fifty.

A football club selling season tickets in Enugu · Merchants & e-commerce

Ticket resale without touts

Fans who can't make a match sell tickets to touts, and buyers get fakes. The club wants resale it can trust.

  1. A fan will list a match ticket for resale
  2. A buyer will pay and receive a new ticket
  3. The seller's ticket will stop working at the same moment
  4. The club will see every resale on its settlement

Fans will resell safely, buyers will get real tickets, and the club will keep the record.

A tech conference organiser in Abuja · Merchants & e-commerce

A conference that moves its date

The venue falls through and the conference moves by six weeks. Last time, refunds took months and were done by hand from a spreadsheet.

  1. The organiser will postpone the occurrence to the new date
  2. Attendees will be able to opt out within the tier's policy
  3. Refunds for those who opt out will run automatically
  4. Everyone else's ticket will carry over to the new date

A postponement will become an afternoon's work, and attendees will get their refunds without chasing.

Questions about events & ticketing

When will events and ticketing be available?

It is built, and its launch status is still being decided. Talk to us and we'll tell you where it stands.

What happens if a payment arrives after the hold expired?

It will be matched and handled: a ticket issued if one is still available, or the money returned if not.

Can gates work with no network at all?

Yes. Devices will sync the manifest beforehand, scan offline and upload when they reconnect.
