New in Cyql: Ticketing System for Paid Rides and Cycling Events
A few weeks ago, we launched something that cycling clubs have been asking for: event ticketing. And the response? Multiple clubs have already created their first paid cycling events using Cyql’s new ticketing system. Safe, easy to use, and integrated right where you need it – in the app you’re already using to organize your rides.
The challenge we heard loud and clear
Club admins told us they were juggling too many platforms. Creating events in Cyql, then switching to external payment systems, chasing down bank transfers, and manually tracking who paid what. It was time-consuming, prone to errors, and frankly, a hassle that took the joy out of organizing great cycling experiences.
In case you plan your next post-ride café lunch, a club BBQ, or a specialized workshop event that requires payment, these administrative nightmares are now easy to set up and way more enjoyable.
What is event ticketing for cycling events?
Event ticketing in Cyql transforms any ride or event into a seamless paid experience. Think of it as your complete event management solution: participants can sign up, pay securely, and get instant confirmation without leaving the app. No more forgotten payments, no more last-minute cancellations due to payment confusion, and no more administrative back-and-forth.
How ticketing for paid rides works in Cyql
- Flexible ticket types: create multiple ticket categories for one event – “Club Member”, “Guest”, “Early Bird” – each with its own pricing and availability limits.
- Integrated payment: riders pay directly during sign-up using secure payment methods including credit cards, iDEAL (Netherlands), and direct debit.
- Real-time tracking: see who’s signed up, what they paid, and manage your event capacity all from your admin dashboard.
- Instant confirmation: participants receive immediate confirmation after payment, eliminating uncertainty.
- QR-Scanning: All tickets have a unique QR-code that can be scanned by the organizers to confirm participation.

Important: Pro & Elite feature
The cycling paid rides ticketing feature is available for clubs using Cyql Pro & Elite plans. This ensures you have access to all the advanced administrative tools needed to manage paid events effectively, including detailed reporting, participant management, and financial tracking.
Security and simplicity combined
We’ve prioritized both ease of use and security. All payments are processed through secure, established payment providers, with funds transferred directly to your club’s designated bank account. No manual handling, no payment processing headaches – just clean, automated financial management that lets you focus on creating amazing cycling experiences for your cycling community.
Optional by design
Not every event needs ticketing, and we understand that. The feature is completely optional meaning you decide which events require payment and which remain free. Your regular weekly group rides can continue exactly as they always have, while special events get the payment structure they need.
