## Beyond ticketing

Most ticketing platforms are built around a single assumption: someone
buys a ticket and shows up. But plenty of payment collection doesn't
work that way.

With purchasable events, you can take payments for things that don't
involve physical attendance:

- **Fundraising collections** — accept contributions for a cause with
a named amount or pay-what-you-want pricing
- **Raffle ticket sales** — sell numbered entries online with quantity
selection so supporters can buy multiple tickets at once
- **Club dues and membership fees** — collect annual or seasonal
payments from members without an event to attend
- **School and PTA collections** — book fees, trip contributions,
uniform deposits, and other group payments
- **Community group fundraisers** — sports clubs, Scout troops,
neighbourhood associations, and similar groups collecting money
online
- **Merchandise and goods** — sell items alongside or independently
from events

## How it works

When you mark an event as purchase-only, the public listing shows a
**Buy now** button instead of the usual **Book now** — a small but
important signal that no attendance is involved.

Everything else works exactly as normal: Stripe or Square processes
the payment, the buyer gets an email confirmation, and all purchases
appear in your admin panel with full CSV export. You can still set
capacity limits (for example, limiting a raffle to 200 tickets), use
custom questions to collect information, and process refunds if needed.

## Buying multiple at once

Purchasable events support quantity selection, so a supporter can buy
5 raffle tickets or contribute multiple units in a single checkout.
Set a maximum quantity per purchase to keep things fair.

## Pay what you want

For donation-style collections, enable
[pay-what-you-want pricing](/features/stripe-and-square/) so
supporters can contribute any amount above a minimum. This works for
fundraisers where people want to give more than the suggested amount.

## Still encrypted, still yours

Purchaser data — names, emails, any custom question answers — is
encrypted at rest the same as regular attendee data. No marketing
to your supporters, no cross-promotion, no platform taking a
percentage cut beyond the flat annual fee.

Most payment collection platforms take a percentage of every
transaction. On a £10,000 fundraiser, that's hundreds of pounds going
to the platform instead of your cause.

Chobble Tickets charges a flat **£25/year** for charities and
community groups (£50/year for others) with no per-transaction
platform fees. You pay Stripe's processing fees (around 1.5% + 20p
in the UK), but nothing extra to Chobble — no matter how much you
raise.

With [purchasable events](/features/purchasable-events/), you can
collect money for anything that doesn't involve a physical event:
donations, raffle entries, club dues, school trip contributions, and
more.

## Who uses Chobble Tickets for fundraising?

- **Charities and nonprofits** running annual appeals or emergency
fundraisers, who need to keep as much as possible for the cause
- **PTAs and school groups** collecting trip contributions, book fair
payments, and class photo money without spreadsheets and cash
- **Sports clubs** collecting membership dues, kit deposits, and
tournament entry fees from members
- **Community groups** — Scout troops, Rotary clubs, neighbourhood
associations — running raffles and community fundraisers
- **Churches and faith groups** accepting gift-aided donations and
special appeal contributions

Fundraising collections work alongside regular ticketed events on the
same account, so you can run a sponsored walk *and* sell tickets to
the celebration party from the same place.
