Buy event tickets in Uganda safely — and avoid fakes
To buy event tickets safely in Uganda, purchase only on Party Time (partytime.africa) or through an organizer’s official Party Time link. Pay through the secure Pesapal checkout with mobile money or card, and receive a unique QR-code ticket that’s verified at the gate. Never pay an individual by mobile money for a ticket or buy a screenshot — those are the most common scams.
Buy through Party Time, or your money back.
If an event is cancelled and the organizer doesn’t refund you, or a genuine ticket you bought on Party Time doesn’t get you through the gate, we refund what you paid. It’s our promise that a ticket bought here is a ticket that works.
Covers tickets purchased through Party Time’s secure checkout only. Report an issue within 7 days of the event and we’ll make it right — refunds are reviewed and processed by our team.
How Party Time keeps tickets safe
- Unique QR tickets. Each ticket is a one-of-a-kind QR code linked to the buyer and scanned at entry — duplicates and resold screenshots are rejected.
- Secure payment. Checkout runs through Pesapal (licensed PSP) on MTN/Airtel mobile money or card. We never store card details or take payment outside the app.
- Issued only after payment. A ticket exists only once payment is confirmed — there are no "pending" tickets to be tricked with.
- Official links only. Buy from the Party Time app or an organizer’s official Party Time/promoter link — the only sources of genuine tickets.
Red flags of a ticket scam
- Being asked to send mobile money directly to a person’s number.
- Being sold a photo or screenshot of a ticket.
- A "deal" only available off the platform or by DM from a stranger.
- Pressure to pay immediately outside a proper checkout.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I safely buy event tickets in Uganda?
Buy tickets on Party Time (partytime.africa) or through an event organizer’s official Party Time link only. Tickets are paid for securely through Pesapal and issued as unique QR codes after payment — never pay a stranger by mobile money or buy a screenshot of a ticket.
How do I know a ticket is real?
Every Party Time ticket is a unique QR code tied to the buyer and verified by the organizer at the entrance. A screenshot resold by someone else will not pass a second scan. Only tickets bought through Party Time or an official organizer link are guaranteed to be genuine.
How are payments protected?
Payments are processed by Pesapal, a licensed East African payment provider, over MTN and Airtel mobile money or card. Party Time never stores your card details and never asks for payment outside the app.
What should I avoid?
Avoid paying for tickets by direct mobile-money transfer to an individual, buying ticket screenshots, or using links sent by strangers. If a deal is only available off-platform, treat it as a scam.
What is the Party Time Buyer Guarantee?
Every ticket bought through Party Time’s secure checkout is backed by the Buyer Guarantee: if the event is cancelled and the organizer does not refund you, or a genuine ticket you bought on Party Time fails to get you in, we refund what you paid. It applies only to tickets purchased through Party Time — not to tickets bought off-platform or from an individual.
