# Find and buy tickets

> Discover events on Taack, select tickets, and complete checkout as a signed-in user or guest.

This guide covers finding an event on Taack and completing a purchase, whether you're buying for yourself or checking out as a guest.

## Find an event

There are several ways to reach an event page:

| Method             | How                                                                              |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Browse Taack**   | Visit [taack.app/events](https://taack.app/events) to see upcoming public events |
| **Direct link**    | Open the link the organizer shared — on WhatsApp, Instagram, email, or a flyer   |
| **Committee page** | Open the organizer's page shared by the host                                     |
| **Social media**   | Follow share links from Instagram, WhatsApp, or Twitter                          |

Each event page shows the flyer, date, location (or virtual join details), description, and a button to get tickets.

## Select your tickets

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the ticket page">
    Click the event's call-to-action button — **Get Tickets**, **RSVP**, **Register Now**, or **Get Listed** — to go to the ticket selection page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose quantities">
    Select how many of each ticket type you want. The page shows:

    * Price per ticket
    * **Sold out** status when a type is unavailable
    * **Requires approval to purchase** on request-only tickets
    * **Max limit reached** if you've hit the per-person cap
  </Step>

  <Step title="Continue to checkout">
    Click to proceed. If you're not signed in, Taack prompts you to log in or continue as a guest.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Sign in or check out as a guest

**Signed-in checkout** — create a Taack account or log in. Your tickets are saved under **My Tickets** and you can reuse saved payment methods.

**Guest checkout** — buy without a full account. You'll enter your contact details at checkout and receive your tickets by email. Guest checkout is available on supported events through the guest flow on the ticket page.

<Info>
  If this is your first purchase while signed in, Taack asks you to complete your **patron profile** — name, phone, and other details needed for your ticket.
</Info>

## Complete checkout

<Steps>
  <Step title="Review your order">
    Confirm ticket types, quantities, and the total price including any patron fees.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Answer custom questions">
    If the organizer added questions (dietary needs, t-shirt size, etc.), fill them in for each attendee.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pay">
    Enter your card details on the secure checkout page. We accept Visa Debits, Visa and Mastercard — processing is handled by First Atlantic Commerce (PowerTranz) with 3D Secure.

    A countdown timer shows how long your cart is held — complete payment before it expires.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirmation">
    After successful payment, you'll see your tickets. Add them to **Apple Wallet** or **Google Pay** for easy access at the door.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Request-only and approval events

Some events require the organizer to approve your ticket before it's confirmed. When you checkout on these events:

1. You submit a **request** rather than an immediate purchase
2. Your ticket appears under **Pending** in **My Tickets**
3. If the ticket is paid, your card is authorized but not charged until approval
4. Once the organizer approves, you're charged (if applicable) and your ticket becomes active

You'll receive email updates when your request is approved or denied.

## Payment plans

Some tickets show a **Split into … payments** banner — the organizer offers a payment plan. Instead of paying everything at once, you pay a deposit at checkout and the rest in scheduled payments before the event. The total is exactly the same as paying in full.

A few things to know:

* Your spot is reserved as soon as you pay the deposit, but **your tickets and QR codes arrive only after your final payment**
* Payments aren't charged automatically — pay each one from **My Tickets** or from the reminder emails Taack sends before every due date
* You can pay off the remaining balance early at any time
* If you miss a payment, you have a grace period to catch up; after that, the organizer's missed-payment policy applies (shown before you accept the plan)

## Fees at checkout

Depending on how the organizer configured the event, you may see a **Patron Fee** added to your total. This covers Taack's processing fee (7% + \$1.80 TTD per order) when the organizer chose to split or pass on fees.

Free tickets have no fees.

See [Fees and payments](/reference/fees) for details.

## Virtual events

For virtual events, your ticket confirmation includes access to the join link. Some virtual events gate the link until closer to the start time — check your ticket page and email for instructions from the organizer.
