Why organisers switch to tickts
Zero-fee on both sides
tickts adds nothing at checkout and takes nothing from your gate.
Paid in real time
Ticketlab holds your money until after the event, then pays out by bank transfer (typically ~2 weeks). On tickts the money lands in your own Stripe account the moment a ticket sells. You decide when Stripe pays out to your bank.
You keep control of the money
Because takings go straight to your own account, refunds, chargebacks, and cashflow are yours to manage. No platform sitting between you and your buyers' money.
No catch, no commission tier
We make money from optional paid plans for organisers who want advanced features (analytics, CRM, email campaigns). Buyer fees and commission stay at zero on every plan, including the free Starter.
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.
Frequently asked questions
