Say goodbye to pools, bank transfers, and tedious calculations: our new service streamlines the process. One person in the group handles the booking, and everyone can pay their share through the platform.
How does it work? When making the payment, simply choose the “shared payment” option. Enter the email addresses of your group members and provide their information.

Your share will only be debited after the last transaction, and you will receive the tickets upon completing your payment. If your friends don’t pay their share, the total amount is debited from the main buyer after 48 hours.

How much time do my friends have to pay? Your friends have 48 hours to make their payment. If they don’t pay their share, the total amount is debited from the main buyer.
