No. Flex charges a small fee per ticket issued, capped at the Flat price; Flat is one fee with no commission. Gateway charges are on actuals and can be passed to buyers. When does the money reach us? Payments settle daily to your own gateway account. Sociana never holds your ticket money. Can the gate handle re-entry and zones? Yes. Passes can carry zones, re-entry and time windows, and a scan is blocked while a payment is still pending. Where have ticketing and gate scanning run? At the BWF meet-up, enGen’s six-week programme and APMI’s paid bookings. Our senior team plans your festival gates and line-up with you. ## Related occasions [Charity & fundraisers](https://sociana.in/event-types/charity-and-fundraising/)[Awards nights](https://sociana.in/event-types/awards-nights/) ## Planning a festival?
