FAQs

Funl can technically handle any size event—but it thrives with smaller, VIP-style experiences. Think intimate, exclusive, high-touch. The fewer the tickets, the higher the demand. Fans love being one of only a few rather than being one of many, like they would be at a traditional concert or other large event.

Some standout Funls we’ve seen in action:

• 12-person day in the studio with the band
• 10-person beach getaway hosted by a popular drummer
• 20-person Christmas party with a celebrity singer
• 18-couple Valentine’s Day 5-course dinner with a jazz trio
• 10-person Nashville experience with a popular artist including a studio tour
• 3-person Online Masterclass and Hang Out with a popular blues guitarist

There is not a required time period for bidding to be open however, we recommend keeping your Funl live for 1 week.

A 7-day window gives fans time to discover your event, place their bids, and jump back in if they get outbid.

During Funl setup you can set a hidden reserve. This is the minimum total amount you need to make your event happen.

If bids meet or exceed that number, the event is on and fans are charged.

If not, no one’s charged, including you.

No guessing, no upfront costs - just a better way to bring your event to life.

Launching a Funl is completely free.

For successfully funded Funls, you pay:

• Platform fee of 10%
• Stripe fees of 3.3% plus $.30 per transaction

The rest is yours! 💵 💵 💵

If bidding on your event does not meet or exceed your reserve, there is no charge.

In many cases, yes - we recommend overselling your Funl by about 10–20%.

Planning a 10-person event? Consider offering 11 or 12 tickets. While every bidder is pumped about your event, things happen - cards decline, emergencies pop up, and sometimes fans just can’t make it.

That said, if you have a strict physical limit - like exactly 10 seats at a table - then overselling isn’t worth the risk. Better to play it safe and stick to your limit.

Promoting your Funl effectively means building hype, driving bids, and creating demand. Here’s a simple strategy to get you rolling.

Instagram does not allow links in a post. To get around this, you can put multiple links in your Instagram bio.

Once you find a Funl you’re interested in and set up your account, you’re ready to start bidding. Just place a bid at whatever amount you're willing to pay for your ticket(s) and you’ll immediately find out if you’re in the winning group. If you get outbid at any time, we’ll notify you so you can increase your bid.

Your bid amount will be your ticket price if you win the Funl.

This helps protect event Creators so they know that they can count on bids being real when they’re planning the details for the event. In order to prevent someone from driving up the cost for a ticket to an event by bidding with no intentions of paying, we require a card on file.

If the event Creator’s reserve has been met, and you're a winner of the Funl, your card will be charged once bidding closes.

You can cancel your bid before the Funl ends by clicking the "Cancel bid" link under the bid box.

You cannot cancel your bid after a Funl ends.  If you are not in the Winning Group when the Funl ends, you will not be charged.

If you are in the Winning Group when the Funl ends, you will be charged for your ticket(s).

No, we do not offer refunds.

Funl exists to help artists/creators put on unique events by first making sure the demand for the event is there. This way the artist can put on the event knowing they won't lose money trying to provide unique/VIP style experiences.

We rely on winning bidders paying for their ticket(s). The winners' ticket revenue allows the Funl Creator to pay for expenses related to their Funl and gives them the "go ahead" for their event.

You may be required to pay your state/local sales tax for your ticket(s).  Besides that, there are no other fees.
