Message everyone going
One update reaches the people who saved your event, the people who RSVP'd (by push, or email when they have no app), every crew going together, and it pins in the event chat. Followers hear about your next event automatically.

Questions organizers ask
What does Kata Jaam charge on a paid ticket?
5 % of the ticket price, all-in — the bank's charges come out of our 5 %, never on top. Buyers pay the price you set and nothing more. Sell 100 tickets at NPR 500 and you receive NPR 47,500. Free registrations, pay-at-the-door and refunded tickets carry no commission.
How do buyers pay?
Through Checkout by Fonepay: the buyer picks their bank and approves in its app, or scans a Fonepay QR with any bank app or wallet. No Kata Jaam account or app needed — the ticket arrives instantly as a QR code.
What about free events?
Everything — ticket types, capacity caps, guest list, QR check-in, the door scanner — is free for free events too. It replaces your Google Form and gives you a real door list.
When do I get my money?
3 working days after your event ends, transferred to a bank account in your name, with a full statement: every ticket, every refund and our commission.
Can people pay cash at the door?
Yes — turn on “reserve now, pay at the door” and people hold a spot without paying online. No money passes through us on those, so there is no commission, and the scanner shows exactly who still owes what when they arrive.
