Why organisers switch to tickts

Your fans pay face value

Humanitix fees go to charity, but your fans still pay more than the ticket price. On tickts, the price you set is the price they pay.

Paid direct to your Stripe

Humanitix holds your money until after your event. With tickts, payments go straight to your Stripe account the moment a ticket is sold.

UK-based support

Humanitix is an Australian company. tickts is UK-based, built for UK organisers, with UK-based support.

Choose your own cause

Humanitix directs fee profits to their chosen charities. If you want to support a cause, you can do that yourself with the money you save by using tickts.

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.
