VM Vicki Martin · EventCo QLD FAQ ## Questions event managers ask. Can we sell tickets and take stallholder applications in the same system? Yes — Ticketing is a module on Pro Plus and above; tickets sell from your own page for a flat per-ticket fee and stall applications run alongside. How are entertainers managed? The Entertainer module holds each act’s contract details, rider, stage plot and schedule, and builds run sheets per stage. Can volunteers pick their own shifts? Yes — publish shifts, volunteers apply for the ones they want, and you confirm coverage before the weekend. How do sponsors pay? Sponsorship packages are invoiced like stalls — card payment to your Stripe, Square or PayPal, no transaction fee from LocalStalls. What counts toward the stall limit for a festival? Confirmed stall bookings in the month of the event — a 400-stall weekend uses about 400 that month. Is there a free plan? Yes — publish your form and take applications on the Free plan with no time limit; paid plans have a 30-day free trial.
