Wix App · v1.6.0 · Live on the Wix App Market
Event List & What’s On
A clear page of what is coming up — gigs, markets, fairs, quiz nights — in the order they happen. It is a list, not a ticketing platform: it never sells a ticket and never takes a cut of your gate.
- No cap on events
- No badge, ever
- Your own ticket link
- One request a page
The gap it closes
The biggest app on this shelf is a ticketing engine, and what its users complain about is money. Wix Events & Tickets is 3.4★ over 1,244 reviews, and above eighty votes sit on one subject: “DO NOT USE!!! They do not send your payouts!! … Our event is in 3 days and we have to pay our artists, but WIX will not release our money from ticket sales” (18 votes) · “Beware of the additional 2.5% commission” (9) · “the commission fees were unexpectedly high, which significantly impacts the overall profitability of events” (9) · “APP WORKS FINE, EXCEPT I DIDN’T GET ANY MONEY FROM SOLD TICKETS!” (7) · “Refund process is a mess” (6) · “a $2 service fee on every ticket sold on top of what I’m already paying” (6) · “they are taking £1.50 per person” (4) · “double dipping” (4). An engine that does not exist cannot fail, and this app has none: no cart, no checkout, no payment, no commission, no payout.
And a whole group of its reviewers are asking for something simpler than it, in so many words. “There are only two options - tickets or RSVPs. I would appreciate an option where I can make/add an event … where there isn’t a ticket or RSVP option required” (4 votes) · “I love being able to add my events, but I don’t need ticket sales. I don’t know how to get rid of that portion of the app” (2) · “May as well just manually create an Event List by just creating a blank page … for weekly meetings that DONT require ‘TICKETS’ or RSVP crap” (2) · “Ich suche ein ganz simples Tool, um bevorstehende Konzerttermine … abbilden zu können. Wix Events & Tickets kann eigentlich viel zu viel” (2). One of them names the product: an event list.
The one thing it refuses outright is the one thing a lot of organisers need. “My events are always hosted by different venues who all have their own way of doing tickets. this app doesn’t allow 3rd party ticketing so otherwise useless” (2 votes). Here the Tickets button is an ordinary link to wherever you already sell — any seller, any venue, any platform, or no link at all.
Eleven rivals’ plan JSON was read on build day and every paid ladder is priced on permission. Two apps stop free at ten events and charge $11.18 and $13.99 a month for the eleventh; one stops at three events and its paid plan is bullet-for-bullet identical to its free one except that (3) becomes (Unlimited); one meters two hundred page views a month and lists “Elfsight Branding” as a free-plan feature; one has no free plan at all and sells “Styling customization to suit theme”. Six of the eleven print their own name on your website and sell its removal — including one whose “Remove TicketSpot Branding” sits on a $208.47-a-month tier, and one whose $9.79 plan lists “No Watermark” and “Remove Watermark” as two separate bullets.
So nothing here is priced on volume, because there is no volume to price. No cap on events, no cap on dates, no cap on placements, no cap on how many people may look at the page, on any plan. No watermark and no badge on any plan, ever. Every arrangement and every design control is free, because a rival charges $13.99 a month for exactly that. Add to calendar is free, because the best-rated rival gives it away. The spreadsheet works in both directions on every plan, because a 7-vote review next door is about not having an import.
How it works
Six steps, then it runs itself.
- 01
Type what is on
A title, a date, a time, a venue and a price in your own words — £8, From £6, £10/£8 concessions, Pay what you can. The time can be left empty when the date is settled and the time is not. A new install opens on a sample village programme you rename in a minute.
- 02
One entry, however many nights it runs
A weekend fair is one row reading 12–14 June. A theatre run, a cinema’s showtimes or a tour is one entry carrying the actual dates, and each of those gets its own row in the order it happens. There is no repeat rule and no weekly grid: this is dated one-off events, which is why it never drifts into being a calendar.
- 03
Put it on any page, as many times as you like
Drag it in from Add Elements → App Widgets. Nothing is added to your site on its own and no page is ever created for you. Each placement can show a different arrangement, a single type or a single venue, or just the next three on a home page.
- 04
People read it, and press through to you
They search, filter by type, venue and month, and press a row to open it in place — no second page, nothing in your site menu. From there they add it to their own calendar, share a link straight to it, or press Tickets and land wherever you already sell.
- 05
It keeps itself tidy
Finished events move into a Been and gone archive on their own, so the page is right on the morning after without anybody touching it. On Business you choose how many days they linger first.
- 06
And a whole season goes in from a spreadsheet
Both directions, on every plan. Rows that cannot be read come back with their line number and the reason — nothing is dropped quietly.
How it behaves
The decisions that matter.
-
It never sells a ticket and never takes a cut
No cart, no checkout, no payment, no commission, no payout, no refund queue. The Tickets button is an ordinary link to wherever you already sell. That is not a limitation dressed up as a principle: the money engine is precisely what eighty-odd votes of complaint next door are about, and one that does not exist cannot fail.
-
No cap on events, dates or placements, on any plan
Not on the free plan, not on a lapsed one. Two rivals stop free at ten events; one stops at three; one meters two hundred page views a month. A what’s-on page is how a village hall tells people when to turn up, and a subscription that ended must never be the reason somebody arrives on the wrong night.
-
No badge and no watermark on any plan, ever
Not on the page, not in the editor, not on a lapsed plan. Six of the eleven apps read on build day print their own name on the customer’s website and sell its removal — one of them at $208.47 a month.
-
Nothing whatsoever is stored about a reader
No sign-up, no account, no RSVP, no guest list, no email address, no cookie, no identifier. There is nowhere in the app to put one. The only thing recorded that a reader caused is a row saying an event was opened — never that a person opened it — and that is a Business feature you can leave switched off.
-
It creates no page and adds itself to nothing
It is an ordinary element you drag where you want it and delete like anything else. The detail view opens over the page, so there is no second page to design and nothing appears in your site menu. Four separate reviews next door are about an app that added pages, could not be removed, or reinstalled itself.
-
It connects to nothing and fetches nothing from anybody
No calendar sync, no ticketing account, no access token, no refresh loop. A dependency never taken cannot be withdrawn — which is what happened to the app whose Google link was removed without notice and left its users re-typing everything by hand.
-
Nothing that is free today will ever move behind the paywall
Stated here and in the App Market listing. The free plan is the pitch, not a trial.
Pricing
Free tier that actually works.
Billed per site through the Wix App Market, monthly or yearly (yearly saves 20%). Every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial. The free plan is deliberately functional and never expires, so the app can prove itself on a real site before you pay for it.

Documentation & data handling
Everything it touches, stated plainly.
Installing & getting started
- Add Event List & What’s On to your Wix site from the App Market and approve the permissions listed below.
- Open it from your site dashboard under Apps. It adds the What’s on element (editor widget, any page, any number of times) / Settings panel in the editor, per placement / Dashboard page.
- Follow the six steps above. The free tier covers no cap on events, dates or placements. All four arrangements — list, cards, agenda, picture-led posters — and every design control, including colours that follow a dark page. The reader’s search and filter chips by type, venue and month. Several dates on one entry. Add to calendar, share, a readable address per event, and the spreadsheet in and out. Structured data. Every visitor-facing word editable. No watermark and no badge, ever, so you can prove it works before paying.

Permissions, and why each one
SCOPE.DEV_CENTER.APP-INSTANCE-READ-BASIC-INFO- Read which plan the site is on, so the Pro and Business features unlock. It is the only permission this app asks for, and the install screen is one line.
What is stored, and where
- Every event is an ordinary row in a collection inside the site owner’s own site, readable and writable only by that site’s own staff. Uninstalling removes the app’s collections; nothing of the owner’s lives anywhere else.
- A picture is an address, not a file. The owner picks something already in their own media library and the row keeps where it is — nothing is ever uploaded to this app and nothing is stored by it.
- Nothing whatsoever is stored about a visitor: no cookie, no identifier, no session, no IP address, no name and no email address. There is no sign-up, no account and no RSVP, because the app has nowhere to put one.
- On Business, an event being opened writes one row with four fields — which list, which event, which of two words, and when. It records that a thing was opened, never that a person opened it, and the owner’s own dashboard presses are dropped rather than counted. Those rows are tidied away after four hundred days and the dashboard says so in words.
- The reader’s own browser does the arithmetic: which day is today, how long to go, and what is on right now. A stored time is never converted into another zone, so an event at eight o’clock is at eight o’clock for everybody who reads the page.
- This app never sends an email, never takes a payment, never creates an account and never connects to a third-party service. Nothing is loaded from any third party: no script, no tracker, no font and no icon set.
- Structured data describing the events is published on the page so search engines can read it. It contains only what is already visible: the title, the dates, the venue and the description.

Questions people ask.
Does it sell tickets?
No, and that is the point. It has no cart, no checkout, no payment, no commission and no payout. The Tickets button on each event is an ordinary link to wherever you already sell — your own box office, a ticketing site, a phone number, an email address, or nothing at all. The app this one replaces takes 2.5% of every ticket, and its most-voted review is titled “DO NOT USE!!! They do not send your payouts!!”
How many events can I list on the free plan?
As many as you like. There is no cap on events, on dates, or on how many times you place it, on any plan — and none on how many people may look at the page. Two of the apps this replaces stop free at ten events, one stops at three, and one meters two hundred page views a month.
Is there a watermark on the free plan?
No, and there is none on any plan, ever. Six of the eleven apps read on build day print their own name on the customer’s website and sell its removal — at $5.60, $9.79, $11.18, $13.99 and, on one of them, $208.47 a month.
How is this different from an event calendar?
A calendar is a grid of squares you read by date. This is a list you read by what is coming next — which is what somebody scanning a pub’s what’s-on page actually wants. There are thirteen real calendar apps on that shelf under a well-rated leader; there was nothing doing this.
How is it different from your Class & Event Timetable?
A timetable is a weekly rhythm — the same yoga class every Tuesday, drawn on a grid with the hours down the side. This is dated one-off events: a gig on the 14th, a fair over a weekend, a fireworks night. If your events repeat on a rule, use the timetable. If they have dates, use this.
Can one event run on several nights?
Yes, free, on every plan. A weekend fair is one row reading 12–14 June. A theatre run, a cinema’s showtimes or a tour is one entry carrying the actual dates, and each gets its own row in the order it happens. A cinema’s 7-vote review next door is about exactly this, and a theatre company’s is about having to make a separate event for every performance.
What happens to an event after it has happened?
It moves into a Been and gone archive on its own, so the page is right on the morning after without anybody touching it. On Business you choose how many days a finished event lingers on the main list first — useful when the photographs go up a week later.
Does it store anything about the people who look at it?
Nothing at all. No cookie, no identifier, no session, no IP address, no sign-up and no RSVP — there is nowhere in the app to put one. On Business it can count that an event was opened; that row has four fields and three of them are your own ids.
What time do the events show in?
Exactly the time you typed. A stored time is never converted into another zone, so an event at eight o’clock is at eight o’clock for everybody who reads the page — which is what the poster on the wall says. The only things the reader’s own clock decides are which day is today and what is on right this minute. If your audience is spread out, there is a line you can type saying whose clock it is.
Will it slow my page down?
One request per placement, and nothing else all visit — searching, filtering, switching between what is coming and what has been, opening an event and adding it to a calendar all cost nothing further. Pictures are asked for at the size they are actually drawn. The incumbent has a review saying “as you add events it gets painfully slower to display them … and at times it crashes/freezes”.
Can I bring events in from a spreadsheet?
Yes, in and out, free on every plan. Rows that cannot be read come back with their line number and the reason, so nothing is dropped quietly. A 7-vote review on the incumbent is about not having an import: “We currently manage 40+ events and must manually copy and paste all details individually.”
Does it work on Wix Studio?
Yes. It is a custom element, so it runs on Wix Studio, the classic Wix Editor and Wix Harmony — the same app and the same settings panel. Verified on a published Wix Studio page and on a published classic Wix page, both with the widget placed by hand and the app installed on the site.
What does it ask permission for?
One thing: which plan your site is on, so the paid features unlock. That is the whole install screen. It asks for no access to your contacts, your members, your media or your store, because it does not need any of them.
