Why organisers switch to tickts
Your fans pay less
With no booking fees added at checkout, the price your fans see is the price they pay. A €25 ticket costs €25, not €27.27.
Paid direct to your Stripe
Payments go straight to your Stripe account in real time. Eventbrite holds your money until days after the event, which is a problem when you have suppliers to pay before doors open.
You control the money
With tickts, you connect your own Stripe account. The money is yours from the moment a fan buys a ticket.
Talk to real people
Need help? You will get a real human, not an AI chatbot or weeks of waiting for a response.
Optional refund protection for fans
At checkout your fans can add TicketPlan refund protection and claim the ticket price back if they cannot attend for a covered reason. It is optional, never pre-ticked, and the premium never touches your payout.
