# 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.
