About Tixstar
South Africa's simplest way to sell and buy event tickets.
We connect organisers with audiences for concerts, sport, comedy, theatre, festivals, movies and NPO fundraisers — with transparent pricing and secure checkout.
Our purpose
Make live events easier to run and attend.
Tixstar exists to remove the friction between great events and the people who want to be there. Organisers should spend less time on admin and more time on the show. Buyers should find, book and attend events without confusion or hidden costs.
Whether you are hosting a club night, a school fundraiser or a stadium tour, the platform scales with you — from first ticket to final payout.
What drives us
- Fair, visible pricing for organisers and buyers.
- Secure, instant e-tickets with fraud-resistant barcodes.
- A single dashboard for sales, scanning and settlements.
- Support for every event category, from grassroots to arena.

Trust & Safety
A secure platform for buyers and organisers
Every transaction, ticket and event is protected by verified payment infrastructure, organiser checks and clear dispute processes.
Payment security
All card payments are processed through Paystack using encrypted, PCI-compliant channels. Tixstar never stores full card details and every checkout is verified before a ticket is issued.
Event verification
Organisers complete a profile with contact and company details before listing. Each ticket carries a unique barcode that can be scanned at the door to stop duplicates and unauthorised entry.
Dispute resolution
Buyers can report an issue within 48 hours of an event. Tixstar reviews the case, mediates with the organiser and processes approved refunds or replacements through the same secure payment rail.
