The Financial and Logistical Pressure of Music Event Ticketing
In the live music industry, profitability relies on maximizing ticket revenue and ensuring a flawless experience at the door. High ticketing fees directly erode the budgets of artists and promoters, and slow entry processes create frustration and security issues. You need a powerful system capable of handling high-demand on-sales, complex tiered pricing, and ensuring every fan gets into the venue fast.
Simple, honest pricing
Organisers pay 3% on paid tickets. Buyers pay a 60p booking fee plus card processing.
Registered charities pay no platform fee. Free events are free.
Buyer price includes the 60p booking fee and card processing (2.9% + 20p per order), assuming one ticket per order. Orders with several tickets cost buyers less.
