Fatsoma for pop-up events
Short-notice sales need instant payouts, not money held until after the event.
The numbers for this event type
At a typical £15 pop-up events ticket, Fatsoma's rate of 5% + 49p per ticket (as published) works out to £1.24 per ticket (8.3% of face value). Across 150 tickets that's £186.00 in booking fees — money that either your fans pay on top or you give up from the door.
Pop-up Events combine low entry prices with high volume — the fixed-pence part of any fee dominates, so compare that component hardest.
