The fine print, in plain words.

What Gather is

Gather is an event ticketing platform. Organizers list events and sell tickets. Buyers reserve or purchase tickets to attend. Gather processes payments through Stripe and provides ticket delivery and door check-in tools.

For ticket buyers

Your ticket is a license to attend the event, issued by the organizer. Gather shows the organizer’s refund policy on each event page; refund decisions follow that policy. If an event is cancelled by the organizer, you are entitled to a refund of what you paid. Tickets are for personal use and may not be resold above face value.

For organizers

You are responsible for your event: the venue, the lineup, safety, and honoring the tickets you sell. Gather charges $0.50 CAD per paid ticket ($0.30 during your first 3 months) and 2% on add-ons and merchandise. Platform and card-processing fees are charged to buyers at checkout, on top of the ticket price, so you keep 100% of your ticket price. Payouts go to the bank account you connect through Stripe, about 2 business days after each sale.

Acceptable use

No illegal events, no misleading listings, no spam. We may remove listings or suspend accounts that break these rules or harm buyers.

Preview status

We will always honor tickets already sold.
