Selling tickets for SUG week and department dinners on UNITIC
SUG week programmes, department dinners, concerts, social nights and watch parties are some of the biggest paid events in Nigerian student life. Selling tickets for them shouldn’t mean managing a group chat full of payment screenshots.
UNITIC is a campus event ticketing platform for Nigerian student organizers. Create an event, sell tickets online with guest checkout, check guests in with scan-once QR at the gate, and withdraw ticket money to a Nigerian bank — so you are not running sales on WhatsApp alerts, screenshots, or paper lists.
Why these events need proper ticketing
SUG week events, department dinners and campus socials tend to have a few things in common: they are high-interest, they sell out quickly, and the gate needs to move fast. That makes them exactly the kind of events where WhatsApp-based sales create problems:
- Payments come in through different channels — bank transfers, mobile app alerts, POS receipts. Manually confirming each one is exhausting.
- At the gate, attendees show screenshots of bank alerts that may be real, may be fake, or may have already been used by someone else.
- Name lists break easily once attendees start arriving and gate attendants can’t keep up with the queue.
How UNITIC handles it
With UNITIC, each event gets a shareable event link. Buyers complete checkout online (card, USSD, or bank transfer via Flutterwave), and each buyer receives a unique QR ticket. At the gate, each QR is scanned once — and once only.
This means:
- No manual payment confirmation. The checkout handles it.
- No forwarded screenshots getting through the door. Each QR is unique and single-use.
- Bank payouts to the organizer after the event, without reconciling WhatsApp alerts.
What organizers need
- Event page: create an event, set ticket tiers and prices, and share the link.
- Gate check-in: scan QR codes on any phone — no special hardware required.
- Payouts: withdraw collected ticket money to a Nigerian bank account (minimum ₦1,000).
Buyers pay the displayed ticket price. Organizer-side fees are 5% plus the payment gateway (~2%). There are no hidden buyer surcharges.
