About Ticket Tailor
Ticket Tailor is a London-based ticketing platform founded with a single mission: make selling tickets fair and affordable for independent event organisers. Unlike the percentage-based fee models that dominate the industry, Ticket Tailor charges a low flat per-ticket fee, meaning the more expensive your tickets, the more you save versus competitors.
It's used by tens of thousands of organisers globally, from small community theatres and yoga studios to large-scale festivals selling tens of thousands of tickets. The platform is a certified B-Corp and donates a portion of every ticket sold to climate causes through its B-Corp partner network.

Side by side
How Ticket Tailor compares with Eventbrite
Ticket Tailor's pricing model is fundamentally different from Eventbrite's. Where Eventbrite takes 3.7% + $1.79 per paid ticket plus 2.9% processing, Ticket Tailor charges a flat $0.65 (or £0.60 + VAT) per ticket plus the standard Stripe processing rate, passed through, not marked up. On a $50 ticket, Ticket Tailor's fee is roughly $2.25 all-in versus Eventbrite's $5.05. The savings get bigger as ticket prices rise.
Beyond pricing, Ticket Tailor gives organisers more control: custom domains, full white-label checkout, direct access to your customer data, and no marketplace where competing events get advertised to your attendees. The trade-off is that you don't get Eventbrite's discovery feed driving incremental traffic, though most Ticket Tailor organisers find this is a worthwhile trade given the fee difference and brand control.
Pros & cons
The honest balance: what reviewers consistently praise and consistently flag.
Pros
- Flat per-ticket fee with no percentage: predictable and significantly cheaper at scale
- Direct Stripe/PayPal payouts mean money lands in your account immediately
- Free Eventbrite import tool; migration takes minutes, not hours
- Genuinely excellent customer support, with fast human responses
- B-Corp certified and donates to climate charities: values-aligned for purpose-led organisers
Cons
- No built-in email marketing platform (uses integrations like Mailchimp / HubSpot instead)
- No discovery marketplace; you need to drive your own attendee traffic
- Not designed for very large stadium events needing complex access control
- Limited advanced reporting compared to enterprise-tier ticketing platforms
- Some occasional queueing during peak high-traffic sales launches
