| Picatic | Create an event. Sell tickets online. Picatic is free for free and paid events.Share bread, spill wine, learn, laugh and create memories; this is what drives our team to build Picatic. We believe in events. It’s where culture is created, relationships are forged and sometimes new loves are sparked. Events are life, and going to events isliving.Here’s the problem. We’ve all heard of “convenience fees” and “service fees”. These fees have become accepted in our culture because we have had no other choice. It’s a problem for everyone, including you.When an organizer puts on an event, they have two options:- Absorb the service fees, which minimizes their profits. - Pass the service fees onto the ticket buyers, resulting in fewer people going to events.This is the problem our team has set out to solve. Picatic is a free online ticketing and event registration platform that empowers organizers to bring people together by removing unnecessary service fees.It’s that simple.This is why we do what we do.
