Event Ticketing and Check-In for Nigeria

Running an event in Nigeria, a dinner, a concert, a paid workshop, comes down to two things: selling the tickets and getting people through the door smoothly on the day. Do it on a spreadsheet and a guest list, and you get chaos at the entrance and money lost to fake or shared tickets. GrowUp Business runs the whole event, from the first ticket sold to the scan at the door.

What does GrowUp Business do for your event?

• Sells tickets with a Paystack payment link, in Naira, automatically
• Sends every buyer an e-ticket with a unique code
• Reminds guests before the event by WhatsApp and text so they show up
• Checks guests in at the door by scanning their e-ticket, fast and clean
• Keeps every attendee as a contact, so you can invite them to the next one

How does check-in work on the day?

Each ticket carries its own code. At the entrance, you scan it, the guest is checked in, and a used ticket cannot be used twice. No paper list, no confusion, no one slipping in on a screenshot of someone else’s ticket. The queue moves, and you know exactly who is inside.

Does it work for paid and free events?

Both. Sell paid tickets, or register guests for a free event. Either way you get the reminders, the e-tickets, and the check-in. Good for dinners, concerts, conferences, church programmes, and paid workshops.

How does it help me sell more tickets?

By making it easy and by following up. A buyer pays in a few taps and gets their ticket instantly. People who looked but did not buy get a follow-up nudge. And because every past attendee stays in your system, your next event starts with a warm list, not a cold one. Pair it with WhatsApp marketing to fill the room fast.

Common questions

How do guests receive their tickets after paying?

The moment payment goes through, the system sends an e-ticket with a unique code to the guest by WhatsApp or email. It happens automatically, with no manual work on your end. The guest has their ticket in seconds.

What stops people from sharing or using fake tickets at the door?

Each ticket carries a unique scannable code. When you scan it at the entrance, it is marked as used. A second scan on the same ticket fails. Screenshots and duplicates cannot get past the door, so you know every person who enters paid for their spot.

Can I use this for free events, not just paid ones?

Yes. Free events work the same way. Guests register, receive an e-ticket, get WhatsApp reminders before the day, and check in at the door by scan. You get an accurate headcount and a contact list for every future event you run.

How do I reduce no-shows after people have already registered?

The system sends a WhatsApp reminder one day before and another on the morning of the event. People who registered but did not confirm get a nudge. Consistent reminders alone cut no-shows significantly for most event organisers.

What happens to the attendee data after the event?

Every guest is saved as a contact in your system with their name, phone number, and event history. When your next event goes live, you already have a warm list of people who showed up before. Your audience grows with every event you run.
