ENTRY AND TICKETSOURCE

A TicketSource alternative with no booking fee

TicketSource is free for free events. On paid tickets it charges 7% plus VAT a booking with its own card processing, card fees included, or 4.5% plus VAT if you connect your own Stripe. With its own processing, you're paid the Monday after the event.

Entry takes nothing on tickets through your own Stripe or SumUp. On a £20 ticket you pay 50p in Stripe's fee, against £1.68 with TicketSource's processing.
