The challenge

Too many ticketing systems are archaic: clunky to use, expensive in fees, and unhelpful when something goes wrong on event day. We wanted to prove it could be done better — a ticketing platform that is genuinely easy for organisers and buyers alike, with low fees and real support behind it.

The solution

ArkEvent is a self-service portal where organisers create their events online in a few clicks, set up ticket types and prices, and start selling — you can go from nothing to selling tickets in about ten minutes.

• Money from ticket sales goes directly into the event organiser’s own Stripe account.
• Buyers get a simple two-step checkout that works on any device.
• Organisers see ticket sales, total raised, costs and fees — and can issue refunds — from one simple dashboard.
• The feature set has grown to cover increasingly complicated set-ups: add-on tickets, car-park management, and QR and barcode scanning on the door.
• It is fully supported by Silverark. We are happy to help set up events, and we are on the end of the phone when it matters.

The technology

ArkEvent is a responsive web application with Stripe handling all card processing and storage, so payment details never touch our servers. Every ticket carries a QR code and barcode for fast, reliable validation at the gate, and the platform is customisable enough to sell tickets to almost any sort of event — with new features added as our clients need them.

The outcome

What started as a small project has grown into a self-sustaining online ticketing solution. ArkEvent has sold thousands of tickets for events up and down the UK, and supports multiple businesses in managing their events and ticket sales online.
