When to choose eticket

An e-ticket can make sense if:

  • You are selling a concert, sporting event, play, or major show with national distribution.
  • You need your buyer to be able to pay in cash at OXXO, Banorte, or at physical points of sale throughout the country.
  • It is in your best interest to leverage the network and brand of a major ticketing company (Grupo CIE) to reach a wider audience.
  • Your event is a large-capacity event at a venue, not a recurring operation from your brand.
  • You don't mind if the buyer pays an additional service fee, nor do you mind not controlling the buyer's data.

When to choose MaunaOne

MaunaOne may make more sense if:

  • You want the money to go straight to your account from day one, without waiting for the settlement after the event.
  • You sell from WhatsApp, Instagram, web, or ads with your own brand, not from a ticketing portal.
  • You don't want to charge your buyer a high service fee that makes your ticket more expensive and lowers your conversion rate.
  • You need to collect deposits or partial payments instead of the full ticket.
  • You have recurring experiences or events with multiple dates and capacity.
  • You want a clear and transparent fee, and charging rules that you control.
  • You want your buyers' data and your own pixel to retarget them when you run ads.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • For organizers who sell through their own channels (WhatsApp, Instagram, website, ads), yes. MaunaOne is designed for you to sell under your own brand, with the money going directly to your account. If your event is massive and relies on national distribution, the more than 100 physical points of sale, and the eticket cash payment network, then MaunaOne complements but does not replace that function.

  • With MaunaOne, payments are processed via Stripe and settled to your account according to Stripe's timeline, without waiting for the event to end. The money goes directly into your system; it is not held by a third party to be settled later.

  • With MaunaOne, you define the ticket price, and there is no high service fee imposed by a third party on top of each ticket. The MaunaOne fee applies only to online sales and is transparent, so your ticket doesn't become overly expensive for the buyer.

  • Here, eticket has an advantage: it has a wide network of physical points of sale and cash payment options (OXXO, Banorte). MaunaOne processes online payments via Stripe. If your audience needs to pay in cash at the counter, it is worth keeping this in mind when choosing.
