March 18: Khalti, a digital payment service provider in Nepal, has launched QR-code based event ticketing service on its platform. 

 

“Users can buy paperless event tickets from Khalti’s mobile app and website to make cashless payments,” the company said in a press statement. Khalti has introduced a dedicated 'Event' section on its app and website from where event organizers across Nepal can publish their events on Khalti’s platform, whereas, users can proceed to event ticket booking and payments.

 

According to the statement, the launch of this feature has been aimed at making the work of both event organizers and event goers easier through a seamless digital ticketing and payment system. The system will be useful for ticket booking of any events happening across Nepal, from sports matches to LIVE-IN concerts among others.

Khalti's electronic ticketing system is expected to help event organizers save the costs of printing and distributing the tickets to their target audiences. 

 

“Meanwhile, event goers will save money while booking tickets. They will be provided cashback on every ticket purchased, that ranges upto 50 percent of the ticket price,” the statement said. 

 

After booking tickets from Khalti, users will get a QR-code of the ticket and its downloadable PDF file inside Khalti app and website. They can show the same QR-code on their smartphone at the entrance gate of the event where event organizers will scan and verify the ticket.
