One ticket PDF. Six friends.
Split it, send it, settle up.

TicketFae turns the one PDF your cinema, theatre or festival sends into individual tickets for every friend — real seats and barcodes preserved — then bills everyone, tracks who paid, and collects the money with PayPal & SEPA QR codes. Ditto paper tickets.

Memories

Keep the magical memories, not just the tickets

The match you all screamed through, the opera you dressed up for — those are the moments worth keeping. TicketFae pins every event's photos to the outing that made them, so the memory lives on long after the barcode is scanned.

  • 📸 Every event becomes a shared gallery. The goal celebration, the black-tie selfie, the festival crowd — all in one memorable place, next to who came and who paid.
  • 🧵 Stop losing memories to WhatsApp threads and camera rolls. The best photo from last month's night out shouldn't be buried under 300 unrelated messages and screenshots.
  • ✨ Multi-photo galleries are a premium touch — a single keepsake photo per event is always free, and full galleries are likely part of Premium.
  • 🐝 Early adopters can qualify for lifetime Premium — so your galleries, and the memories inside them, could stay yours for good.

How it works

You buy once. TicketFae does the rest.

Made for the one person in every group who always ends up "sorting the tickets".

Plan the event

Create it in seconds — or scan the cinema brochure with your camera. Cinema, theatre, concert, festival, match: any event with tickets.

Poll your crew

Who's coming, how many seats? Answers land on the event card live — so you buy exactly the right number of tickets, together, in one row.

Split the PDF

Import the multi-ticket PDF. TicketFae reads the film, date, seats and price, then cuts it into one ticket per friend — barcodes intact.

Send & bill together

Share each ticket by AirDrop or WhatsApp — or automatically via the free Buddy app. Expense records are created in the same tap.

Settle up & remember

PayPal or SEPA QR codes collect the money without awkward texts. Afterwards: rating polls, photos and a year of group stats.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I split a PDF that contains several tickets?
Open TicketFae's Split tab, pick the ticket PDF your cinema or venue sent, choose your buddy list, set how many tickets each person gets and tap Split. TicketFae cuts the PDF into one ticket per person — real seats and barcodes preserved, fully offline. Learn more →
How do I send each friend their own cinema or concert ticket?
After splitting, every friend gets a row with a share button — send their individual ticket by AirDrop, WhatsApp, email or any share sheet. Friends with the free TicketFae Buddy app receive theirs automatically. Learn more →
How do I keep track of who owes me for tickets?
Every split ticket becomes an expense record automatically. The Spending tab shows who owes what — by friend, by event or by group — with a badge counting outstanding balances and one-tap settle. Learn more →
Can I collect the money before I buy the group tickets?
Yes — the "not yet bought" billing mode creates payment requests before any ticket exists, so you never front the whole group's money. Learn more →
Someone can't come — can I pass their ticket to someone else?
Yes. TicketFae reassigns the actual ticket with its original seat and barcode — no guessing, no mix-up at the door — and the expense records stay clean. Learn more →
How do I find out who's coming and how many seats to buy?
Start a seat poll on the event. Friends answer from the Buddy app — or you tap their answers in as they reply in chat — and the card shows live progress like "8/8 answered, 11 tickets requested". Learn more →
How do friends pay me back without creating an account?
Show them a PayPal or SEPA QR code straight from the app — amount and reference pre-filled. SEPA transfers are free; nobody installs anything. Learn more →
Is TicketFae free?
Yes — download, splitting, sharing, billing and settling up are free for one upcoming event at a time with unlimited history. Premium adds unlimited concurrent events, photo galleries, multi-category ratings and per-friend languages. Get the app →
Do my friends need to install anything?
No. Tickets and payment requests arrive as normal messages or AirDrops. The optional free TicketFae Buddy app adds automatic ticket delivery, seat polls and rating votes — and your friends never see a paywall.
Do I need to create a login or account?
No. TicketFae has no login, no password and no account to create. To keep your data private it relies on your iPhone's built-in Apple authentication (Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode) — simple, and proven secure. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to forget.
Does TicketFae work offline, and what about my data?
Splitting and scanning work fully offline. There's no account and no server collecting your outings — the camera is only used for QR pairing and brochure scanning, and file access only to import ticket PDFs. To improve the app, only anonymous, aggregated ("bucketed") usage and error data is collected — with no personal reference. Details in our Privacy Policy.
