Vendor booth ticketing
Sell farmers market and craft fair vendor booths online
Organizers need to assign booth spaces, collect vendor fees, and manage applications. TixSimple's interactive maps and application tickets make vendor booth sales easy.
How this type of ticketing works
Farmers markets and craft fairs make money from vendor fees, but managing booth assignments with spreadsheets is painful. TixSimple lets you sell booth spaces as tickets on an interactive map, so vendors pick their exact spot during checkout. Each booth is reserved and marked sold instantly.
If you need to review vendors first, use an application ticket type. Vendors pay an application or reservation fee, and you approve them before the event. Once approved, they receive their booth assignment and QR check-in code.
