Event Ticketing App Wireframe

An event ticketing app wireframe template is a set of editable screens for selling tickets on mobile: event discovery, an event page, ticket choice, checkout and the ticket used at the door. Fifteen screens from the DICE iOS app make up this free version, from phone-number sign-up and a feed of tonight's events to a date filter, an events map, an order summary and QR tickets. Duplicate it in Whimsical to plan event ticketing app design for gigs or festivals.

DICE's flow from finding a gig to holding the ticket, as editable wireframes.

What's included

  • Discovery. A home feed with Tonight, This week and New shows tabs, category chips like DJ and Party, search with Popular now, a date filter and an events map.
  • Event detail. Event name, venue, date and a From price, with an Invite friends button and the artist's top track.
  • Checkout. A General Admission quantity picker, an order summary with payment and total, and a confirmation screen.
  • Ticket wallet. Upcoming tickets and a ticket detail with Send ticket to a friend, a waiting list and a note that QR codes activate two hours before the event.
  • Account, friends and alerts. Phone-number log in and sign-up, a profile with friends, artists, venues and groups, and push and email settings for event changes.

Why wireframe an event ticketing app?

  • Keep the purchase short. Event detail, quantity, order summary and confirmation take four screens, a length worth defending as features pile up.
  • Plan discovery by date and place. A date filter, an events map and Tonight and This week tabs match how people look for something to do.
  • Design the ticket for the door. The ticket detail explains that QR codes appear two hours before the event and that tickets are linked to a phone number. Both rules need to be clear before someone reaches a crowded door, often on a weak signal.
  • Handle sold-out shows. Search shows a SOLD OUT label and the ticket screen offers a waiting list, so the empty state is part of the flow from the start.
  • Make it social. Invite friends on the event page, groups that vote on events and a Follow 3 friends prompt tie ticketing to going out together.

How to use this template

  1. Duplicate the template. Copy the 15 DICE screens into your Whimsical workspace.
  2. Fit your event types. Rewrite the event cards and category chips for your inventory, whether that's gigs, conferences, sports or theater.
  3. Decide on seating. Keep the quantity picker for general admission, or add a seat map screen for reserved seating.
  4. Plan entry. Edit the ticket detail for your entry method, such as a timed QR code, a Wallet pass or a name on a list.
  5. Map the edge cases. Mark where refunds, transfers and event changes show up, and link each one to its notification setting.

Event ticketing app vs event listings app

An event ticketing app sells tickets and holds them, so it needs checkout, a ticket wallet and an entry method at the door. An event listings app helps people find things to do and links out to wherever tickets are sold. Ticketing apps also handle refunds, transfers and on-sale traffic, which listings apps never touch.

Frequently asked questions

  • Start with the purchase: event detail, ticket quantity, order summary and confirmation, kept short for on-sale rushes. Then design the ticket for fast entry, and discovery by date and location. Plan sold-out, waiting list and transfer states early, since they arrive with the first popular show. Duplicate this template in Whimsical to start from those core screens.

  • An event ticketing app needs event discovery with search and filters, event pages with venue, date and price, a short checkout, a wallet of purchased tickets and an entry method like a QR code. Ticket transfers, waiting lists and alerts about event changes matter too. This template covers each of these across 15 wireframes from DICE.

  • The screens follow DICE's iOS app, which keeps tickets in the app instead of an email inbox and links them to the buyer's phone number. That makes it a useful reference for entry and transfer design. Each of the 15 wireframes was drawn from a Mobbin screenshot and sits next to it with a link. Artist images and branding are left out, and Whimsical isn't affiliated with DICE.

  • It was built with App Wireframe, an open-source agent skill that redraws app screens as editable Whimsical wireframes. Name a ticketing or events app and the skill pulls its key screens from Mobbin, placing each wireframe beside the screenshot it came from. Screenshots of your own ticketing app or designs work too. It runs in an AI agent connected to the Whimsical MCP server, plus the Mobbin MCP server for named apps.

  • Offering an Apple Wallet pass is worth it on iPhone, because Wallet can surface the ticket on the Lock Screen when it's needed. Apple's Wallet guidelines suggest offering to add the pass right after someone buys an event ticket. DICE takes the other route and keeps tickets inside its own app, with QR codes that activate two hours before the event.
