Now you can sell event tickets in Coworks software

Make (and keep) revenue when you host events!

Coworking spaces thrive on fostering your community. 

Whether that means hosting a skill-sharing workshop, a networking breakfast or a public lecture, each event is an opportunity to connect with people, members and non-members alike. 

But what if you could do more than just bring people together? What if your space could also earn revenue from each ticket sold all from within the Coworks app?

That’s exactly what the new paid events feature does. Now you can plan and promote both member-only and public events and sell tickets without redirecting traffic (and dollars) to third-party sites like MeetUp or Eventbrite. 

Many managers face the same event limitations

Across coworking and flex spaces, space managers come up against the same headaches when planning events:

• They want to charge for events and sell tickets exclusively to members
• They want to sell tickets to non-members at a different rate
• They want to process payments from members using the card on file, so attendees don’t have to re-enter data  
• They want to offer discounts, promo codes, or early bird pricing

Until now, spaces have had to jump through hoops, using outdated spreadsheets, manual check-in, or relying on multiple platforms. That often means paying transaction fees, losing track of attendees, or driving traffic away from your own site. It was functional, but inefficient.

How ticketed events work in Coworks

Coworks’ new paid or ticketed events feature is built right into the existing events set up. Here’s how easy it is to set up:

1. Enable paid event – Flip on the paid toggle when you’re creating or editing an event.
   
   
2. Set base ticket prices – Define a rate for members and a separate rate for guests or public attendees.
   
   
3. Process payments in-platform – Coworks securely charges attendees by letting them enter credit card information.
   
   
4. Apply discounts – Add promo codes or early bird prices. Choose a flat amount or percentage during checkout.
   
   

Everything happens within your existing Coworks dashboard. No jumping between platforms. No extra logins. No lost revenue.

Why this feature matters to your operation

Keep revenue and traffic in one place

When you send attendees to external platforms, you lose control and conversions. With paid events built into Coworks, your community stays on your domain or within your app. That reduces friction and keeps people engaged with your brand.

Serve both members and non-members

Want to reward members with a discount? Done. Want to open the event at a higher public rate? Easy. Coworks supports tiered pricing so you can align incentives with your membership model.

Simplify payment flow

Because we use saved cards on file, members don’t need to enter their payment details again. That one-click checkout drives conversions and improves the experience. Member attendees input one time and the ticket is theirs.

Run discount and promo campaigns

Need to boost early registrations? Launch promo codes or early bird specials. Want to partner with a sponsor and offer a code to attendees? You can schedule start and end dates for discounts and monitor usage in the dashboard.

Manage financials with fewer headaches

Coworks tracks ticket sales, fees, refunds, and attendance all in one place. You no longer need manual reconciliation between Eventbrite, PayPal, Stripe, and your accounting tools. Export reports with a click or use one of the accounting integrations.

Examples of paid events that work great

Here are a few scenarios where paid events can really elevate your strategy:

Advanced marketing masterclass for members
Host a deep dive session on Google Analytics, AI tools or digital marketing, for members at a discount. For example, a $20 member ticket and $40 public ticket. Sell 30 spots and earn $1,800, half from paying guests.

Community-focused public workshop
Create a Saturday intro to photography or DIY crafts class for non-members. Price at $30 per person. Coworks handles all ticketing, promo codes and payment. It’s a quality lead magnet and revenue stream in one.

Member appreciation gala
Invite members at a low rate ($10) and let them bring guests at higher rate ($25). Sell drinks, appetizers, or add-on swag at checkout. It’s all customizable.

Pro tips for paid event success

• Bundle tickets with amenities – Add free coffee, printed materials or workspace credit to increase value.
• Run member-only discount codes – Encourage loyalty and referrals by offering members-exclusive codes.
• Use early bird pricing strategically – Create urgency by limiting low-cost access to a defined timeframe.
• Incentivize members to add more guests – Create unique invite links so you can track when members invite non-members! 
• Feedback loop – Follow up after the event in your email marketing tool, with a survey and offer a promo code for the next one.

With paid event ticketing built right into Coworks software, you have a powerful new lever for monetizing your community, bringing in non-members, and enhancing your space’s programming—all without additional tools or fees. You can manage pricing tiers, discounts, payment processing and attendance tracking right from your Coworks dashboard.
