Why organisers switch to tickts
No annual fee
Spektrix charges a quote-only annual service charge before you sell a single ticket. tickts is free to start, with zero platform fees on every plan.
No contract lock-in
Spektrix locks you into a multi-year contract that auto-renews. Early termination costs you for the remaining term. tickts has no contracts -- use it for as long as it works for you.
Scanning with zero setup
Both platforms can scan with a standard smartphone camera. tickts adds a free scanner app for iOS and Google Play plus a web scanner, so any steward can scan from their own phone with no account hardware setup.
Your fans pay less
Many Spektrix venues add booking fees to cover their platform costs. With tickts, there are no platform costs to pass on. Your fans pay face value.
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.
