# The Free Comedy Show Ticketing Platform for India

> Sell stand-up comedy, open-mic, theatre, magic, dance, and live show tickets — with seat-tier pricing, multiple show times per day, UPI checkout, and instant payouts. Built for comedians, theatre groups, and indie producers.

## Overview

Vihaya Events is India's affordable comedy show and live show ticketing platform. Comedians, theatre groups, and producers use it to sell tickets at a 1.9–4.9% platform fee on paid shows (free shows pay nothing). Razorpay's standard ~2% + GST gateway fee applies on paid transactions. Supports seat-tier pricing (front row, premium, balcony, standing), multiple show times per day, UPI checkout, and QR check-in. The affordable alternative to BookMyShow for independent comedy and theatre.

## How it works

### 1. Create your show

Add comedian/troupe name, show details, venue, and timings. Upload a poster. AI form builder fills out the registration fields.

### 2. Configure seat tiers

Front row, premium, balcony, standing room — set price per tier with capacity caps. Configure multiple shows in a day if needed.

### 3. Share the show link

Promote on Instagram, WhatsApp, Twitter, or embed on your venue website. Vihaya generates a branded show page automatically.

### 4. Audience checks out via UPI

Buyers pay via UPI (one-tap on mobile) or cards/net banking. QR tickets emailed instantly.

### 5. Check in at the venue

Door staff scans QR codes via the free check-in app. Real-time seat-fill data on your dashboard.

### 6. Payouts settle T+2

Razorpay deposits ticket revenue to your bank within T+2 working days. Vihaya deducts 1.9–4.9% on paid shows; free shows pay nothing.

## Key features for Comedy Show Ticketing

- **Seat-tier pricing** — Front row, premium, balcony, standing — set price and capacity per tier independently. Common pattern for comedy clubs and small theatres.
- **Multi-show ticketing** — Run multiple show times per day (e.g., 7 PM and 9 PM stand-up sets). Each show is a sub-event with its own ticket pool.
- **UPI + cards** — All Indian payment methods via Razorpay. Mobile-first checkout for India's UPI-heavy comedy audience.
- **WhatsApp reminders** — Send "show starts in 2 hours" reminders to all ticket holders. Reduces no-shows; better for venue capacity planning.
- **Refund processing** — Cancel a show? Process bulk refunds with one click. Razorpay reverses payments to original methods within 1–10 days.
- **Email + WhatsApp delivery** — QR tickets delivered via both channels. Comedians can include show etiquette notes ("no recording", "arrive 15 min early").

## FAQ

### How do I sell comedy show tickets online in India?

Sign up at events.vihaya.app, create your comedy show event with venue and timings, set up seat-tier pricing (front row, premium, balcony, standing), share the link, and accept UPI/cards via Razorpay. Tickets are emailed with QR codes instantly. Setup takes under 2 minutes.

### Can I run multiple shows in a single day on Vihaya Events?

Yes. Use mega events with sub-event registration — each show time (e.g., 7 PM and 9 PM sets) is a separate sub-event with its own ticket pool, capacity, and check-in flow. Buyers pick which show they want at checkout.

### Is Vihaya Events better than BookMyShow for indie comedians?

For independent comedians and theatre groups, yes. BookMyShow charges 15–20% service fees and is curated. Vihaya Events charges only 1.9–4.9% on paid shows (free for free shows) and is self-serve — perfect for indie comedy producers, open-mic organisers, and small theatres who want to keep more revenue and publish instantly.

### Can I sell tickets for theatre, drama, magic, and dance shows?

Yes. Vihaya Events handles all live performance ticketing — theatre, drama, magic shows, dance recitals, classical music concerts, ballet, comedy, open-mic. Configure seat tiers, show timings, and capacity per show.

### How do I prevent no-shows for my comedy show?

Vihaya's built-in WhatsApp marketing lets you send reminders 24 hours and 2 hours before showtime. WhatsApp delivers 95%+ open rates in India — significantly reducing no-show rates compared to email-only reminders.

### Does Vihaya Events handle refunds for cancelled comedy shows?

Yes. If a show is cancelled, process bulk refunds from your dashboard. Razorpay reverses payments to the original payment method (5–10 days for cards, 1–3 for UPI). Vihaya doesn't charge a refund fee on top.
