Sign up at events.vihaya.app, create your concert event, configure ticket tiers, and share the public link. Vihaya Events is free for free events and charges a 1.9–4.9% platform fee on paid tickets (rate depends on ticket price tier). Paid concerts also incur the standard Razorpay gateway fee (~2% + GST). ### Can I sell early-bird, VIP, and fan-pit concert tickets? Yes. Vihaya Events supports unlimited ticket tiers per concert with independent pricing, sale start/end dates, and capacity caps. Common tiers: early-bird (limited quantity), general admission, VIP (with perks), fan-pit (close to stage), and group bundles for 4+ tickets. ### Which payment methods do concert attendees see at checkout? All major Indian payment methods via Razorpay: UPI (PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm, BHIM), credit cards, debit cards, RuPay, net banking, and wallets. International Visa/Mastercard/Amex cards are also accepted for cross-border ticket sales. ### How does QR check-in work at the concert venue? Each ticket includes a unique QR code emailed to the buyer instantly. At the venue, your staff opens the free Vihaya Events check-in app on any phone, scans the QR code, and the system marks the attendee as checked in within one second. Works offline; data syncs when reconnected. ### How is Vihaya Events different from BookMyShow for concerts? BookMyShow charges 15–20% service fees, requires curation approval, and holds payouts T+15 to T+30 days. Vihaya Events charges just 1.9–4.9% on paid tickets (free for free events), is self-serve (no approval), and pays out T+2 working days via Razorpay. For independent concerts under 10,000 attendees, you keep significantly more revenue with Vihaya. ### Can I sell tickets for multi-day music festivals? Yes. Vihaya Events supports mega events with sub-event registration — useful for multi-day festivals where each day, stage, or set has its own ticket. Each sub-event gets its own URL, capacity, and check-in flow. Sub-events are also indexed separately by Google for SEO. --- Canonical URL: https://events.vihaya.app/concert-ticketing-india Last updated: 2026-05-09 Brief AI index: https://events.vihaya.app/llms.txt Full AI index: https://events.vihaya.app/llms-full.txt
