Making a promise
How to promise tickets for an event — step by step.
Making a promise is how you commit to attending an event on Promise Tickets. Your card is saved but not charged until the event is confirmed.
How to make a promise
- Visit the event page using the link or QR code shared by the event producer.
- Select the performance date you'd like to attend from the dropdown.
- Enter your email address. This is where you'll receive all notifications about your promise.
- Choose the number of tickets (1-10). The available quantity depends on remaining capacity.
- Review the price breakdown — ticket price plus the platform fee.
- Click Promise to attend.
Stripe checkout
After clicking the button, you'll be redirected to a secure Stripe checkout page. Here you'll enter your payment card details. Stripe saves your card for future charging.
Info
Your card is saved by Stripe — not by Promise Tickets. No charge is made at this time. You will only be charged if the event producer converts the campaign.
After your promise
You'll be redirected to a confirmation page and receive an email with your promise details:
- Event name and date
- Number of tickets
- Total amount that will be charged if the event is confirmed
- Confirmation that $0.00 was charged today
Multiple promises
You can make promises for different performance dates within the same campaign. Each promise is tracked separately.
