About Platypus

Platypus.Tickets sells tickets for small theatre venues. It was built for the 50-seat end of the world — venues where Eventbrite-style marketplaces are the wrong shape and the wrong price.

What makes it different

• Your audience stays yours. Platypus lives quietly under your own website — event listings and ticket cards embed straight into your pages. There's no marketplace, no "you might also like", no ads, no urgency banners.
• Your money goes to you. Checkout charges the buyer through your venue's own Stripe account. Platypus never holds your funds. More in Stripe and payments.
• Flat, honest pricing. A flat subscription plus $1 AUD per ticket sold. No percentage skim, no booking-fee games passed to your audience.
• No accounts for buyers. Someone buying a ticket picks their seats' worth of tickets, pays, and gets a PDF by email. No sign-up wall.

Who runs it

Platypus is small, Australian-built software (currency is AUD throughout), run for a small number of venues rather than growth-at-all-costs. It's honestly MVP in places — what's built and what's coming is laid out plainly in Features & roadmap.
