B2B event ticketing
Conference ticketing that handles tiers, sessions and sponsor booths
Conferences need more than one ticket price. TixSimple supports early-bird, regular, VIP, and student tiers, plus add-ons for workshops, sponsor meetings, and after-parties.
How this type of ticketing works
Conference attendees expect a smooth registration flow: pick a ticket tier, add workshops, enter a discount code, and receive a digital badge. TixSimple's custom attendee fields collect job title, company, dietary needs, and session preferences during checkout.
After registration, attendees get a QR code badge by email. The same system can power vendor passport games, sponsor lead scanning, and session check-in. Advanced Ticketing+ adds a branded event app with AI matchmaking so attendees can book meetings before the show.

Frequently asked questions
Can we sell virtual-only conference tickets?
Yes. Create a virtual ticket tier at a lower price. After purchase, you can send the stream link by email or collect it in a custom attendee field.
How do session check-ins work?
Create a scanner key for each session room. Attendees show their badge QR code at the door, and the scan marks them as attended for that session.
Can we collect sponsor leads?
Yes. Sponsor booths can use the same scanner to capture attendee badge QR codes. Export the scan data after the event to give sponsors a lead list.
