If you're reviewing your ticketing platform, you're in good company. Ticket Tailor is trusted by more than 80,000 Event Creators across 120 countries, whatever you're running, from sell-out festivals to sculpture parks with year-round visitors, or seasonal water parks and community shows.
Price is usually the first thing you question when you look at your ticketing platform, and it's a good place to start. If you pass your ticketing fee on to buyers as a booking fee, it can feel like the platform's cost doesn't touch your own bottom line. But whether you absorb that fee or pass it to your customers, someone is paying it, and if you run a community event or a smaller festival, that difference adds up fast.
5 reasons why Event Creators choose Ticket Tailor
Keep more of your revenue. Ticket Tailor offers the lowest fees on the market, meaning less goes to your ticketing platform, and more stays where it matters: your event (or your pocket!). Plus with instant payments, unlike most other ticketing platforms, your cash flow is likely to be in a good place.
If you're weighing up the switch, Rob Wells of Lakefest already has: "If you want a ballpark figure, we're saving about £60,000 by moving to Ticket Tailor, so the cost saving is phenomenal”.
You own your own data. Your hard-earned ticket-buyer data is yours, not a marketing opportunity for Ticket Tailor. Unlike some platforms, they don't own your customer relationships. You do, always.
“When we were comparing TT to other platforms. What we realised is that those other platforms actually use the data that they collect to sell those people other events! We didn’t want any part of that. The huge attraction to Ticket Tailor was that we’re only collecting the required information to send them exactly what they need, and that’s all.” Gemma, Martini Film Studio’s.
Powerful tools for expert event management. Ticket Tailor offers hundreds of handy features, built to save you time, boost revenue and make your whole event management experience just that bit smoother. Set tiered pricing to reward early bookers or reflect peak dates, and sell season passes to keep your most loyal fans coming back. Offer payment plans so higher-priced tickets are never a barrier to booking, package tickets together with bundles and groups, and give buyers peace of mind at checkout with Refund Protection. Then on the day, scan (and even sell) tickets at the gate with a free Check-in app that works offline and allows multi-user access.
Amy LaBelle, LaBelle Lights, shares how our check-in app has cut queues: “We haven’t had a single line. The check-in process is a breeze. Not only has it made our guest experience so much better, but it has made our team feel so much more comfortable.”
Unmatched 24/7 support. Nothing is more important than your event running without a hitch. Last-minute ticketing panic? The team will always get back to you in 5 minutes or less, whatever your inquiry.
Rory Brosnan who runs tulip tours in Amsterdam highlighted our customer support in his review: "I get fantastic customer service even out of office hours. There's just a greater sense that you're actually dealing with real people.", while Laura Edralin, a workshop teacher based in London, adds “At any point in the process of either building or promoting my events I can ask them a question and I get a response in just a few minutes.”
