TicketForge
Event ticketing for Kenya: M-Pesa checkout, QR tickets and a phone scanner at the gate, with no monthly fee.

Early access
Overview
TicketForge sells and checks in tickets for events in Kenya. An organiser creates an event with its ticket tiers and shares one link. Attendees choose a tier, approve the M-Pesa prompt on their phone, and get a QR ticket. At the gate, any phone becomes the scanner, and a ticket can only be scanned in once.
Free events work from start to finish today. Paid tickets use M-Pesa STK Push, which is still moving from test mode to live payments, so paid sales are in early access.
