Eliminating Checkout Friction and Gate Anxiety
Standard ticketing agencies add fees at checkout to make their own profit, which usually leads to fans purchasing the tickets at the event to avoid the extra cost. This creates a lot of anxiety for a promoter who cannot gauge the event's turnout in advance, calculate logistical needs, or know whether they are going to make a profit from the event. Plus, between the time that a fan could purchase a ticket online and the day of the show, they might decide to go to a different promotion's show.
Alternatively, flat-rate platform Ticket Tailor in particular wouldn't charge your customers a handling or service fee, and would instead bill you (the promoter) directly for using their software. In addition, it's generally much easier and faster to buy tickets through a flat-rate platform than from a traditional ticket agency, which turns casual online browsers into fans of your promotion who become guaranteed advance ticket holders.
Fee Control: Direct Billing vs. Commission Deductions
If you've ever hosted an event and sold tickets via a ticketing agency, then you probably have experienced being charged percentage commissions on the total ticket cost. Ticket Tailor never takes a percentage commission from your ticket sales. With Ticket Tailor operating strictly on a flat, fixed fee per ticket, you control the revenue. Ticket Tailor makes the same amount whether you sell a ticket for $15 or $150.
Since you would be billed directly, this model would completely preserve your pricing integrity while you retain 100% control over your ticket pricing. If you choose to absorb the flat fee as a minor cost of doing business, the price the fan sees is exactly what they pay. If you choose to pass a small, transparent fee onto the buyer to keep your base gate untouched (canceling out costs from software, credit card processing, and venue facility expenses), you dictate the exact amount- not an outside agency.
Zero Upfront Risk to Launch
Ticket Tailor does not require any initial membership, signup, or subscription fee. It is completely free to create an account, build your event page, and launch your box office. You would only be charged when you actively process a paid ticket, aligning your software expenses perfectly with your actual revenue generation.
Trusted by over 73,000 Event Creators across 120 countries, Ticket Tailor makes it simple and affordable to sell event tickets online, thanks to industry-leading low fees, important features (time-slot ticketing to seating charts, self-serve and hundreds more), and 24/7 support. Last year, the platform processed 25M tickets for events of all sizes. Discounts are available for charities, low-price tickets, PTA's, not-for-profits, and B Corps. Free tickets are free.
