POCtix for Maui venues.

Flat $2.00 per ticket. Hawaii-built, Hawaii-supported. From Kīhei sunset events to Pāʻia music nights to rebuilding Lahaina.

Local team · Inter-island aware · Mālama Maui

Maui's event scene is unlike anywhere else — luxury-resort wedding industry on one side of the island, indie surf-town music venues on the other, rebuilding Lahaina community gatherings, Upcountry food + farm events, and a year-round tourist economy that means a Wednesday in February can be busier than a Saturday on the mainland. POCtix supports all of it at the same flat $2.00 per ticket. No "tourist-area surcharge," no Maui-specific upcharge, no monthly platform fee.

Where on Maui we work

For Lahaina-area operators

If you're rebuilding a venue, running a benefit, or operating displaced from your pre-2023 location, we want to help. POCtix doesn't charge setup fees, monthly fees, or any platform fee beyond the flat $2.00 per ticket sold. For Lahaina-area nonprofit fundraisers we'll work with you on individual event basis to absorb the $2.00 entirely — email [email protected] with "Lahaina" in the subject line.

What Maui operators specifically deal with that mainland platforms ignore

• Visitor-heavy buyer mix. 60-70% of buyers may be visitors, not kamaʻāina. They've often booked the event days or weeks before arriving on island — early-bird presales matter more than walk-up traffic.
• Time-zone confusion. Visitors from Pacific Time + 3hr arrive thinking they understand Hawaii time; they don't. Our event detail pages show times in HST explicitly with the timezone label, not just a number.
• Resort + condo concierge bookings. Some buyers go through concierge desks; some buy directly. POCtix gives you both — a direct link for marketing + an embeddable iframe a concierge site can use.
• Inter-island travel for the act. A touring musician doing Honolulu Friday + Maui Saturday means two separate events with two separate door-scans. Same dashboard, same Stripe.
• Road-to-Hāna events. Outdoor + remote events on the Hāna side can have spotty cell coverage. Door scanner caches valid tokens locally — works offline once loaded.
• TVR + STR regulation context. If you're hosting events at short-term-rental properties, your county compliance is your own — POCtix doesn't restrict venue addresses, but you're responsible for permit requirements.

What it looks like to switch

15 minutes per event:

1. Apply at tickets.portofcams.com/for-venues — same-day approval during HST business hours.
2. Connect your Stripe (10 min if you don't have one — need your Hawaii business EIN + bank routing).
3. Create your event. Set ticket tiers, capacity, upload your venue logo + event image.
4. Share your event link — Instagram, mailing list, posters, concierge.
5. Door staff scans QRs on their phone at the event.

Common questions from Maui operators

Are there flat-fee platforms cheaper than POCtix for low-cover Maui events?

At average ticket prices under $15, Eventbrite's percentage model can actually beat our flat fee. The math flips around $15-20 average. If you're consistently selling sub-$15 covers, run the numbers honestly in our calculator — sometimes the answer is "stay where you are." We'd rather you know.

Does POCtix work for wedding ticketing at resort venues?

Yes — many wedding planners use ticket-style RSVP tracking. Create an "Aloha Reception" event with a "Guest" ticket type, send the link to invited guests, they "buy" their $0 ticket = RSVP. You get a clean attendee list with QRs for check-in.

Can I run multi-day retreat ticketing (3-day yoga, 5-day surf camp)?

Yes — single ticket covers the multi-day package. QR scans on day 1 at check-in. Add multiple ticket tiers if you offer different accommodations / meal packages.

What about Hawaii GE Tax on tickets?

POCtix doesn't auto-calculate GET. Hawaii businesses are responsible for GET on event admission per HI Dept of Taxation rules. Talk to your accountant about whether to absorb GET in your ticket price or pass it on. Either approach is supported — we don't enforce one model.

Do you support Hawaiian language event titles?

Yes — full UTF-8 ʻokina + macron support everywhere event text appears.
