Getting Tickets to the Big Show in Nepal
If you’re planning to catch a concert, cultural program, or live event in Nepal, you’ll be happy to know that getting tickets has never been easier. Over the past few years, Nepal has become highly digital—so much so that almost every business now uses QR codes or online payment systems. Whether you’re buying a cup of tea on the street or booking tickets for the biggest concert of the year, chances are you can pay with a mobile wallet like eSewa, Khalti by IME, or directly through your Nepali bank account with Fonepay.
This digital shift has completely changed the way people buy tickets for events. Forget about waiting in long lines or carrying cash—you can now browse upcoming shows online, pay in seconds, and get your ticket delivered right to your phone. Both eSewa and Khalti have dedicated ticketing sections inside their apps, where you can purchase passes for concerts, plays, comedy shows, sports matches, or even smaller community events.
What’s even better is that your ticket is often linked to a QR code, so you just scan at the entrance and walk right in. No paper tickets, no stress.
Big events in Kathmandu, Pokhara, and beyond now rely heavily on these platforms because they’re fast, secure, and widely used. At the same time, smaller independent organizers also benefit—meaning you might find tickets for a cozy jazz night or local theater play right alongside a major international concert.
So whether you’re a tourist looking to dive into Nepal’s vibrant event scene or a local who wants a smooth way to book the next show, your phone is all you need. Open eSewa or Khalti, tap a few buttons, and you’re set for the big night.
