Ticket requests and approvals

Some events review who's coming before confirming spots. Here's what to expect when you request a ticket.

Requesting a spot

On the event page, click Request Ticket
Answer any questions the host has added
Click Submit Request

You won't be charged anything at this point - for paid events, payment only happens after the host approves you.

While your request is pending

Your request appears under Pending requests on your Tickets page. The host will approve or decline it, and you'll get an email either way.

Changed your mind? You can cancel a pending request yourself from the ticket - your spot is simply released.

When you're approved

Free events: you're confirmed immediately - you're going!
Paid events: you receive a payment link. Pay before the deadline to secure your spot.

Payment deadlines

You get up to 48 hours to pay, but never past the event start - if you're approved close to the event, the deadline is shorter. Your ticket shows a countdown, and we'll email you a reminder when less than 24 hours remain.

If the deadline passes without payment, your request expires: the spot is released to others and can't be restored. You can always request again if spots are still available.

If your request is declined

You'll receive an email, optionally with a note from the host. Nothing is charged.
