01 / The Problem

Fees and Holds

Traditional ticketing platforms in Peru charge high commissions and hold event cash flow for weeks, squeezing net margins and limiting pre-production capital.

02 / The Solution

E-commerce Autonomy

Custom WordPress + WooCommerce platform with local Mercado Pago gateway, digital ticket issuance with unique QR codes, and a mobile access control system.

03 / The Result

Operational Independence

Own customer database, full control over processed cash flow, and the ability to manage ticketing in-house from end to end.

Business Context

The Challenge: Breaking dependency on ticketing platforms

For independent progressive rock shows in Peru, margins are extremely tight. The 8% to 15% commissions from traditional ticketing platforms eat into profits and hold back essential funds for deposits and pre-production.

The challenge wasn't creating a web catalog — it was building a complete transactional engine: local currency payments, PDF ticket issuance, and secure access management for hundreds of people.
