Inside 123 Tix - Your Ticket Sales. Your Money.

25 August 2026

Terry's Take

Waiting until after your event finishes to access your ticket revenue creates unnecessary operational pressure.

Organisers deal with deposit deadlines, talent fees, contractor hire, and equipment costs weeks before the first attendee arrives at the venue. Trying to fund a growing campaign out of your own pocket while watching your ticket sales sit in a holding account is a frustration we want to eliminate.

We believe that your ticket revenue belongs to you from the exact moment a patron completes their purchase. Having direct access to your funds throughout the booking cycle gives your team real financial flexibility when you need it most.

Thanks,

In Focus

Are upfront event expenses draining your cash flow before you've even opened the gates?

Managing the financial timeline of a campaign means balancing heavy upfront costs against revenue that's still coming in. When your ticketing platform holds onto your money until the event wraps up, your cash stays locked away right when your suppliers are asking to be paid.

Relying on post-event settlements forces committees and business managers into a high-stress guessing game.

By connecting your own Stripe account to the platform, you take control of when your money actually lands in your bank. Revenue from every digital sale flows straight into your balance as transactions occur. That means you can secure entertainment, settle marketing bills, pay deposits, and cover your day-to-day expenses using your own ticket sales, rather than dipping into cash reserves.

123 Tix Platform Update

Direct Stripe Connect

You can link your own commercial Stripe account natively to the 123 Tix platform. This configuration routes all patron checkout payments directly into your business balance in real time, completely bypassing the traditional post-event settlement waiting period.

Coupons with Quantity Multiple

If you're running group or corporate packages, Coupons with Quantity Multiple lets you set a threshold, like a discount that only kicks in once someone books four or more, so you always know exactly what you're protecting even as you encourage bigger bookings. Combined with real-time Stripe payments, that means the money from a large group booking lands in your account the moment it's paid, not months later when you need it most.

Next in Line

Shopify API Integration

We're developing a direct integration with the Shopify e-commerce platform to bridge your digital storefront with your ticketing dashboard. Once active, organisers will be able to connect their merchandise inventory and ticket options, making it easy to track total patron spend across both platforms. If your organisation relies heavily on Shopify for merchandise sales, let our team know.

Industry Watch

Flexible cash flow is becoming standard practice across the events industry.

Across entertainment, corporate and tourism events, rising supplier costs mean bigger financial commitments are needed earlier. Ticketing structures that hold onto revenue until an event concludes put unnecessary strain on organisers. More event teams are moving away from traditional settlement delays, choosing platforms that pay out as sales happen so they've got cash on hand when they actually need it.

Did You Know?

Did you know using your own Stripe account can simplify your bookkeeping as well as your cash flow?

Because ticket sales pass directly through your own payment gateway, your bookkeeping team receives transaction data that matches your bank feed automatically, cutting out hours of manual reconciliation after the event closes.
