How do I buy tickets on Gaytherings?

Buying takes an email address and a payment method. No account needed.

Picking your tickets

1. Open the event you want.
2. Tap the ticket button. If there's more than one ticket type, pick the one you want and set a quantity.
3. Some events ask you to accept the organizer's terms before continuing.
4. Continue to checkout.

The price you see on the event page is the full price, fees included. Nothing gets added at the last step.

At checkout

Enter the email address where your tickets should go. That's the only detail we ask for, and it's the one that matters, because that's where the tickets land. Check it carefully.

Then pay. On mobile you can use Apple Pay or Google Pay, or switch to the card tab. On desktop, enter your card details. Signed in, your saved cards appear and the first one is already selected.

Have a promo code? Tap "Add promo code" to open the field. One code per order.

The refund policy link at the bottom of checkout is the organizer's own policy for that event. Worth a look before you buy.

RSVP tickets are free, and still need checking out

Some events use RSVP tickets. They cost nothing, but they still go through checkout, because that's how the organizer knows who's coming and how you get a ticket to show at the door.

You'll enter your email and confirm, with no payment step and nothing charged. Your RSVP ticket then arrives by email like any other.

After you pay

Your tickets go straight to your inbox, and Gaytherings shows a confirmation with the event name. If you bought as a guest, there's an option to create an account so your tickets are easy to get back to. You can skip it.

On iPhone, an "Add to Apple Wallet" button appears on the confirmation. Android gets the Google Wallet equivalent.

Not every event sells tickets here

Gaytherings lists events from across the community, including ones that sell somewhere else. Plenty of listings are here so people can find them, not so we can process the sale.

• Free events have no checkout at all. Turn up.
• Door sales means tickets are sold at the venue, not in advance.
• External ticketing sends you to the organizer's own site or ticketing platform to buy.

The event page tells you which one you're looking at before you tap anything.

When a sale happens on another platform, that platform's checkout, confirmation emails, and refund policy apply, not ours. We can help you find an event, but we can't look up an order we never processed. For those, go to whoever sold you the ticket.
