Problem
Event organizers in Lusaka face fragmented ticketing options with opaque fees, while attendees struggle to discover local events across festivals, conventions, and social gatherings. Existing platforms often charge buyers high service fees and lack integrated tools for scanning, analytics, and guest communication.
Solution
Evoke provides a unified event platform where organizers can publish events, sell tickets, manage QR check-ins, and communicate with attendees through a single dashboard. The platform lists all events on evoke.black and offers a host application for real-time capacity tracking and team management. Buyers benefit from a clean checkout experience with mobile money, card, and POS payment options powered by Lenco by BroadPay, with no Evoke service fees ever. Organizers are charged a flat 5% commission only when they withdraw funds, making the pricing model transparent and aligned with actual sales performance.
