tickts includes a built-in affiliate system. Each rep gets a tracked link, and commission is calculated automatically on verified ticket sales attributed to their link. Reps never handle ticket inventory, and organisers retain full control of KYC on payouts. Fatsoma's reps-and-wristbands model has been the subject of ongoing student-media reporting, including multiple Student Room threads and Impact Magazine's Nottingham freshers promotions investigation.
