Events and tickets
Event tickets for tasting nights, supper clubs and live evenings
Name the night, set a capacity and ticket types, and publish. Guests buy in the app, you scan them in at the door, and a sold-out night keeps a waitlist. Sales tax is worked out when the ticket is bought.

How does a quiet night become your fullest?
A tasting night, a supper club or a guest chef can turn a dead Tuesday into the busiest evening of the week, but only if people commit in advance. A free event with a vague headcount means you cook for forty and thirty arrive, or the other way round.
Selling tickets by message, taking transfers and ticking names off on paper is a second job. A paid ticket tells you your numbers before you buy the food.
How do you set up the night?
Open Events, name the night, set a date and a capacity, add your ticket types and publish. Types can differ, for example with and without a wine pairing. A free event can allow a plus-one that you control, and each seat counts against capacity.
Guests buy in the app and the ticket is on their phone at once. A guest who misses out joins a waitlist rather than leaving. If you change the date or the location, the form asks whether to tell ticket holders, and you decide.
How does the door work?
Scan a ticket from the Events page or at the counter. A scan is checked against the ticket's signature, and a party is marked in by the same rule everywhere. A door sale or a comp is entered as a named ticket rather than a payment, so your headcount stays true. Giving away a comp needs the marketing permission, because it gives a seat away.
How is a ticket taxed in the United States?
A paid event ticket is taxed when it is bought. The price is tax-exclusive, and the state's sales tax is added by Mosey's tax engine as its own row. The guest sees the price including Mosey's booking fee first, with tax apart, and an event with several ticket types shows each type that way, including early-bird prices.
A ticket that vouchers cover in full is issued with no card charge. Every refund path recognizes a covered ticket, so no card is ever asked to repay what it did not pay.
What happens if you cancel, or a guest needs money back?
If you cancel the night, every confirmed ticket is refunded and the holders are told. An event that has sold a ticket is never deleted, only canceled or hidden. A refund can also be partial: one seat on a ticket of four can come back without voiding the others.
Mosey for Teams lets a company buy tickets for named staff, and those scan like any other.
Where the rules differ
A ticket follows the tax rules of the state it is sold in. Two points apply everywhere.
- Alcohol
- A bar-credit ticket, a ticket that includes alcohol credit sold through Mosey, is refused in the United States. Drinks at the door go through your till.
- Any state past Mosey's sales threshold
- Only sales through the app and website are held. Your own channels keep working.
Rules change. Check any rule that matters to you with your accountant or adviser.

Questions owners ask
Who can create events?
People with the marketing, promotions and events permission, which owners and managers have by default.
Can I sell at the door?
Yes, as a named door ticket rather than a payment through the app, so the headcount stays accurate.
What if the event sells out?
Guests can join a waitlist. If seats come back, the next guest is offered one.
Do ticket buyers need the app?
Tickets are bought in the app. A company can buy for its staff through Mosey for Teams.
How do I see who is coming?
The guest list shows each holder with a short note on whether they are new to your business or a regular.
Can I run a free event?
Yes. A free ticket takes a seat of your capacity, and you set how large a party one ticket may bring.
Is the sales tax my job?
Mosey works the tax out and records it. Registering with your state, and filing and paying your returns, stay with you and your accountant.
