One platform for the whole ticket's life, not just the sale
Most ticketing tools stop at "sold." GroovPass follows a ticket from creation through sale, transfer, and the actual QR scan at the gate — which means gate agents, promoters, and consumers are all working off the same real-time state, not reconciling spreadsheets after the event.
Events and cinema, the same platform, different needs
A concert and a cinema screening aren't the same problem — one needs flexible multi-tier pricing and sessions, the other needs seat maps and showtime scheduling synced against real movie data via TMDB. GroovPass handles both natively instead of forcing cinemas to awkwardly fit a generic event template.
Payments that route around a single point of failure
Smart payment routing across Stripe, Paystack, M-Pesa, and OPay means a payment provider having a bad day doesn't mean lost sales. The built-in wallet, gift cards, and a real transfer/resale marketplace — rather than an unofficial one on WhatsApp — keep more of that transaction value inside the platform.
Nobody finds out from a queue at the gate
Waitlists catch demand for sold-out events instead of losing it. Multi-channel notifications and a real-time situation room mean promoters and gate agents see problems — a scanning bottleneck, a spike in no-shows — as they happen, not after the event is already a mess.

FAQ
What is GroovPass?
GroovPass is our event and cinema ticketing platform. It covers the full lifecycle — from event creation and ticket sales to gate entry with QR code scanning. Whether you're running a concert, a conference, or a cinema, GroovPass handles it end to end.
Can GroovPass handle both events and cinema?
Yes. GroovPass has dedicated modules for both. Events get multi-tier pricing, lineups, and sessions. Cinemas get screen management, seat maps, and showtime scheduling with TMDB movie sync. Same platform, different workflows.
What payment options does GroovPass support?
GroovPass uses smart payment routing — Stripe for international, Paystack for Africa, M-Pesa for East Africa, and OPay for West Africa. It automatically picks the best provider based on the customer's currency and location. Plus there's a built-in wallet system and gift cards.
Does GroovPass have a mobile app?
Yes, multiple actually. There's a consumer app for buying tickets, an event manager app for organisers, and a gate agent app for QR code scanning at the door. All built with React Native and Expo.
Can I transfer or resell tickets on GroovPass?
Yes. GroovPass supports ticket transfers — you can share a ticket via email and the recipient claims it. There's also a resale marketplace built in, plus waitlists for sold-out events.
