Loket.com Is Changing How Events Work in Indonesia

Loket.com isn’t just another ticketing website—it’s the backbone of how events get planned, sold out, and pulled off smoothly in Indonesia. If you're in the event space or ever tried hosting something bigger than a dinner party, this platform is worth knowing.

From Idea to Event Page—All in One Place

You know how messy it can get organizing even a small event? Loket.com makes that whole process bearable. More than that, it makes it efficient. You create an event page, choose ticket types, upload branding, set capacity—it’s all right there. Think of it like Shopify, but for events. Everything’s drag-and-drop simple, but still packed with features serious organizers need.

Let’s say you’re throwing a music festival in Jakarta. Loket gives you control over general admission, VIP, early bird pricing, and group sales. You can set ticket quotas, apply discount codes, even use dynamic pricing if you want to drive early sales.

Buying Tickets That Don’t Suck

On the buyer’s side, it’s equally smooth. Payment is quick, and they offer almost every method people in Indonesia actually use: GoPay, OVO, Dana, ShopeePay, bank transfer, credit cards, and even pay-later options like Indodana's LOKET HEPI program. Want 0% installments? Done. Want cashback using a promo code like "LOKET25"? That’s built in.

Also, every ticket comes with a QR code, which speeds up check-in at the venue. No more printed sheets or yelling names at a gate.

Event Promotion Actually Built In

Here’s the part that separates Loket from the sea of DIY tools: built-in promotion and affiliate tools. Most organizers struggle to sell tickets, not just manage them. Loket has an affiliate network—people can promote your event and earn commissions for each sale. It’s smart. You turn others into your marketing team without lifting a finger.

Plus, the events are showcased on Loket’s website and their social media accounts. They’ve got serious reach too—over 138,000 followers on Instagram and another 52,000+ on Facebook. That’s not just vanity metrics. It’s built-in distribution.

For Real-World and Online Events

Loket doesn’t care if your event is in-person, virtual, or somewhere in between. They’ve built tools that cover all three. Hosting a webinar? You can gate access through ticket sales. Planning a hybrid conference with speakers in Bali and attendees online? They’ve got support for both.

For on-site events, they offer access control tools, contactless ticket scanning, and even cashless wallet integrations so people can buy food or merch with their phones. At some larger festivals, they’ve integrated everything from entry to merchandise sales through a single system. Less friction, more spending.

Trusted by the Big Players

This isn’t a niche platform for indie event hosts. Loket is the platform behind some of Indonesia’s biggest events—think We The Fest, Djakarta Warehouse Project, and Java Jazz Festival. If you’ve been to a major show in the last few years, there’s a solid chance your ticket came from Loket.

It’s not just music either. Business summits, tech conferences, marathons, esports tournaments—they’ve all used Loket. If you’ve ever registered for a conference and got a clean email with a scannable QR code that just worked, that might’ve been them behind the scenes.

Built for Scale, But Works for Small Events Too

You don’t have to be hosting a 10,000-person festival to use Loket. They’ve made it accessible to smaller events as well—community meetups, workshops, niche talks. You can set up a basic event in under an hour, and it’ll still look professional.

What’s nice is you don’t get upsold to death either. Features are there when you need them, but you’re not forced into premium tiers for basic functionality.

Real-Time Data Without the Headache

Most organizers don’t think about data until something goes wrong. Loket makes it easy to see what’s happening as it happens. Ticket sales, payment types, peak traffic times—it’s all there in dashboards that actually make sense.

This matters more than it seems. If a ticket type isn’t moving, you’ll know and can run a discount. If most people are buying through GoPay, maybe you push a cashback promo through that channel.

The Tech Doesn’t Get in the Way

Too many platforms feel like they were built by engineers for engineers. Loket is clean, intuitive, and doesn’t make you Google every feature. You won’t need a dev just to set up an event.

Even the mobile experience is strong. Whether people are buying tickets from a phone or checking in at the gate, the experience feels modern. No clunky redirects or weird formatting.

What’s Next for Loket?

They're not standing still. Expect deeper integrations with wallets, more AI-driven insights for event performance, and better hybrid event tools. Blockchain ticketing may sound like buzzword nonsense, but Loket’s already experimenting with tech that could reduce fraud and make ticket resale safer and more transparent.

And don’t be surprised if they roll out even smarter tools for recommendation engines—think Spotify-style event suggestions based on what people actually attend, not just what’s popular.

Bottom Line

Loket.com has nailed the full event cycle—planning, ticketing, promoting, and running events of any size. It’s not just a tool; it’s infrastructure for the live event scene in Indonesia.

If you’re organizing anything where people need to show up and pay to be there, this is the platform that can handle it without making your life miserable.

And if you're just someone who loves going to live events, it’s a place to find experiences you won’t want to miss. 🎟️
