Become a CATEGORY Host
Bring your people to CATEGORY, sell through your own link and codes, and earn rewards for every ticket you move.
No milestone required
Every ticket pays
Commission lands on every sale through your link or code — ticket one, ticket fifty, doesn't matter. The tiers below are bonus on top.
*Full-price tickets. $5/ticket with your 25%-off code, $2.50/ticket with your 50%-off code. Rate shown is for Decadence and NYE — commission and rewards are set per event and may change for future CATEGORY events.

Bonuses don't stack — you get the reward for the highest level you reach, not the sum of every level along the way. Commission is separate, earned on every ticket, and paid out after the event.

Best practices
What good Hosts do
Your link and codes work anywhere you'd normally talk about a night out: stories, captions, group chats. The more it sounds like you, the better it converts.
Share early, then keep a steady drumbeat going into the event.
25% off is the easiest yes for a close friend who's on the fence.
The 50%-off code is for DMs and close friends only, never a public post. Posting it publicly ends your participation — see the Host Terms.
Every sale through your link or code is tracked automatically. Check your progress whenever you want proof it's working.
Before you apply
Host FAQ
How do I get paid?
By ACH, within 14 days after the event. Commission is calculated on net ticket sales after refunds and chargebacks.
When do I get my link and codes?
As soon as you're approved. They, your progress toward rewards, and your guest-list allotment all live in your Host portal.
Do the bonuses stack?
No. You get the reward and cash bonus for the highest level you reach, not the sum of every level along the way.
What if I don't sell many tickets?
No penalty. Sell what you sell, and watch your real-time progress in your portal.
Can I post my codes anywhere?
Your main link and 25%-off code, yes. The last-day 50%-off code is private only — DMs and close friends, never a public post.
Do I need to be 21+?
Yes, and you'll confirm that when you apply.
