How to Sell Tickets on Instagram (Free, 2026)
When you announce an event on Instagram, interest fades fast, so the goal is to let followers buy a ticket the moment they're excited. A single link-in-bio ticket page removes every barrier between a Story view and a paid seat. Here's how to sell tickets for free and keep your revenue.
Quick answer
Instagram won't process ticket sales, so use a link-in-bio ticket page. OneSol's event ticket tool (onesol.io) lets you create an event, set ticket types and prices, and collect payments straight to your own Stripe. Share the one link in your bio and Stories, and buyers get instant confirmation while you keep every dollar minus Stripe's fee, with no platform cut.
1. Create your event and ticket types
Set up the event on OneSol with the date, time, location (or online link), and a clear description. Add ticket tiers such as early-bird, general, and VIP so you can capture different budgets and reward fast buyers.
2. Set pricing, capacity, and checkout
Set each tier's price and quantity so tickets can sell out and create urgency, then connect your own Stripe so payments land directly in your account. Turn on any details you need to collect, like name, email, or dietary and size info, at checkout.
3. Promote tickets across Instagram
Put the ticket link in your bio and add Story link stickers, a countdown sticker, and pinned Reels that build anticipation. Generate a free QR code (onesol.io/qr-code-generator) for flyers, posters, and partner shoutouts so offline audiences can buy in one scan.
4. Manage attendees and check them in
OneSol collects every buyer's details and confirmation automatically, giving you a clean attendee list before the event. On the day, use the confirmation or a QR scan to check people in quickly, and email attendees reminders and updates beforehand.

FAQ
Can I sell different ticket types for one event?
Yes. You can add multiple tiers like early-bird, general, and VIP, each with its own price and quantity, on the same event page.
Do buyers get a ticket or confirmation automatically?
Yes. OneSol emails a confirmation the moment payment succeeds, so there's nothing for you to send manually.
How much does OneSol charge per ticket?
Nothing. Payments go to your own Stripe account and OneSol takes no commission, you only pay Stripe's standard processing fee.
Can I sell tickets for a free event?
Yes. Set the price to zero to collect free RSVPs and still capture attendee names and emails for reminders.
