FAQ

Common questions

If you don't see your question, email support@openct.co.

Is there a fee to list events?
No setup fee, no monthly fee. We take a small per-transaction fee on each ticket sold (visible on every event before you publish). Free events are free to list.
How quickly does payout happen?
Settlements hit your registered bank account the day after each event date. For multi-day events, you'll see daily settlements starting the day after day 1.
What KYC documents do I need?
PAN card, Aadhaar card, and a cancelled cheque (or bank statement). All collected during the application — no offline paperwork.
Can I host free / RSVP-only events?
Yes. KYC is still required (to associate the event with a verified host) but no per-ticket fee applies for free events.
Do attendees need the openCT app?
Not required. Attendees can book on openct.co from any browser. The app gives them a better discovery feed and ticket wallet, but it's optional.
Can I cancel an event and refund?
Yes. Cancelling an event triggers automatic refunds to all bookers. Refunds settle in 5–7 business days. You're responsible for honoring the cancellation policy you set.
