General

What is El Tiquetero?

A ticketing platform for events in Mallorca and across Spain. Organisers list their events and sell tickets online, buyers get their tickets by email with a QR code, and affiliates earn commission by sharing events.

Who is it for?

Three groups of people:

  • Buyers: anyone going to an event.
  • Organisers: people and venues running events, from club nights and live music to workshops, yoga retreats, sports and community events.
  • Affiliates: people who promote events and earn commission on the tickets they help sell.
Is El Tiquetero new?

Yes. We launched in Mallorca in 2026, built the platform with local organisers, and keep improving it with their feedback.

Where are you based?

In Palma de Mallorca. We list events across Mallorca and Spain, and live online events too.

Buying tickets

How do I buy tickets?

Find your event on Find events, choose your tickets and check out. You’ll be asked to log in or create a free account, then pay.

Do I need an account?

Yes, a free one. It takes a minute, and it keeps all your tickets together in My Account.

How do I pay?

Securely through PayPal, with a PayPal account or a debit or credit card. All prices are in euros.

Is there a booking fee?

Yes. A booking fee of €2 + 4.5% per ticket is added at checkout, and you’ll see it before you pay. It covers running the platform and card payments. Free tickets have no fee.

How do I get my tickets?

They’re emailed to you as soon as you’ve paid, each with its own QR code. They’re also in My Account, where you can download a PDF or add them to Apple Wallet on an iPhone.

Do I need to print my ticket or download an app?

No. Just show the QR code on your phone at the door. If you’d rather have paper, print the PDF.

My tickets haven’t arrived. What should I do?

Check your spam folder first, then look in My Account. If they’re not there either, contact us and we’ll sort it out.

Can I get a refund?

If an event is cancelled, you get a full refund, booking fee included, without having to ask. If it’s postponed or changes significantly, you can keep your ticket or get a full refund. Otherwise, refunds are up to the organiser. The full details are in our Refund and returns policy.

I have a question about the event itself.

The organiser knows best about start times, the venue or what to bring. Their details are on the event page.

Organisers

How much does it cost to sell tickets?

Nothing. There are no setup costs, monthly fees or subscriptions. Buyers pay a booking fee of €2 + 4.5% per ticket on top of your price, so you keep your full ticket price. Free events cost nothing to anyone.

How do I list an event?

Sign up, then go to Create events and add your event: the details, a photo, and your ticket types and prices. When you publish it, it goes live straight away. It only takes a few minutes, and we’re happy to help. There’s a step-by-step guide with pictures: How to add an event.

How do I get paid?

We send your ticket money to your PayPal account. Make sure we have the PayPal email address you want to be paid at, and talk to us about timing.

How do I check people in at the door?

With your phone. In Your events, tap Scan tickets next to your event and point your camera at each ticket’s QR code. There’s no app to install. You’ll see straight away whether to let someone in, and a ticket can’t be used twice. Check-in opens an hour before the start, and you can change that on the scanner page. If a ticket won’t scan, search for the name or the ticket number instead. More in How to sell tickets.

Can I see how my sales are going?

Yes. Under Your events, each event has a sales report and an attendee list, and the Insights tab charts your sales over time across all your events.

Can I list free events?

Yes. Free events are free for everyone: no fees for you or your guests.

What kinds of events can I list?

Club nights and live music, workshops and classes, wellness, yoga and retreats, sports and outdoor activities, community and cultural events, in person or online. If you’re not sure, ask us.

Can someone help me set up?

Yes. You’ll talk to real people, not bots. Get in touch by email, phone or WhatsApp.

Affiliates

What is the affiliate programme?

Share El Tiquetero events using your own link, and earn commission on the ticket orders it brings in. The details, including rates, are on the Affiliate programme page.

How do I join?

Sign up on the affiliate registration page. Your account is active straight away, and you’ll find your link and ready-made images to share in your affiliate area. Step by step: How to become an affiliate.

Do I need to be an organiser or buy tickets?

No. Anyone can join, and it’s free.
