Two ways to launch

Two doors. Same engine.

Signature is a page we design with you. Ready is a page you configure yourself and launch. Either way the full ticketing stack — live inventory, transparent pricing, guest checkout, payments, signed passes, email delivery, an order desk and settlement — comes standard.

The Margazhi Fringe

Two evenings of music and dance, curated for the season — from the opening lamp to the finale. Kutcheri at dusk, conversations after, one courtyard for both nights.

Part of your identity

For the festival that is part of your identity.

  • Everything a Ready page includes
  • Bespoke page and programme design
  • Custom pass and email design

You never have to

Build a pageIntegrate a gatewayDesign a ticketCalculate GSTReconcile orders

Signature adds a dedicated design process — we design the page with you. Limited builds each season.

For your patrons

No one should need a password to see a kutcheri.

Your audience is not all twenty-five and app-native. The checkout, the pass and the gate work for a first-time buyer and a seventy-year-old regular alike.

Guest checkout

Name, email and phone. No account, no password.

Total before payment

Fees and GST shown in full, never at the last step.

A ten-minute hold

Tickets are held while they finish paying.

A pass by email

Branded, signed, ready to print or show on a phone.

WhatsApp-ready link

Poster, title, artist and venue before the link opens.

Large type, high contrast

Print-friendly passes, obvious buttons, no fine print.

Pricing

Agreed before you launch.

Every plan is agreed before your first event goes live — no rate card, no marketplace commission, no deduction you did not agree to. Gateway charges pass through at cost; our fee is separate and stated.

Agreed upfront

The fee is agreed before your first event goes live, for the whole season.

You choose who pays

Absorb the platform fee, or pass it to the patron. The checkout always shows the full total.

No marketplace cut

You are not listed on someone else's storefront, and you do not pay for one.

Signature

Design fee + platform fee

A design and build fee plus the platform fee. Subdomain is standard; launch QA included. Limited build slots each season.

Ready

Per ticket

Just a per-ticket platform fee — no setup cost. Live at [org].kalaadwara.com, with payments handled by Kalaadwara. You choose whether the fee is absorbed or shown at checkout.

Questions committees ask

Asked often.

No. The box office can live on your domain or a subdomain and link from your existing site. You do not need to rebuild your website to start selling.
