How to sell event tickets online (Cameroon & French-speaking Africa)

TL;DR: To sell event tickets online in Cameroon or French-speaking Africa: define your ticket tiers and prices, enable Mobile Money + card payments, issue verifiable QR tickets, deliver them on WhatsApp, and control access on the day. MboaTickets handles every step for the organizer.

Step 1 — Define your tickets

List your tiers (standard, VIP, early bird, table), set prices and quantities (capacity per tier), and an optional sales end date.

Step 2 — Set up payments

Mobile Money is essential locally; add card for the diaspora. MboaTickets supports both, with regional pricing (FCFA, EUR, USD).

Step 3 — Create the sales page or site

Tickets must be buyable in seconds from a phone. The MboaTickets Pro plan includes a dedicated website branded for your event.

Step 4 — Issue verifiable tickets

Each ticket should be a unique named QR, impossible to reuse for a second entry.

Step 5 — Deliver tickets

Deliver on WhatsApp: the attendee gets the ticket instantly, where they already are.

Step 6 — Communicate before the event

Keep the buzz: confirmation, countdown, directions, schedule. Good communication reduces no-shows.

Step 7 — Control access on the day

Scan the QR at the door: instant validation, duplicates blocked, real-time entry tracking.

Step 8 — Extend the event afterwards

Thank attendees, share photos and replay, announce the next event — turning buyers into a community.
