Common questions
How much does Ticketing charge for theatre groups? +
Ticketing charges a percentage + flat fee per ticket. This is paid by your attendees on top of your ticket price, unless you choose to absorb the fee yourself.
Is Ticketing the cheapest ticketing platform for theatre groups? +
Ticketing's fees are in the middle of the UK market. Tickts is the only UK platform with 0% booking fees and 0% commission on theatre groups, so attendees pay face value and you keep the full ticket price.
Can I use Ticketing for free theatre groups? +
Yes, most platforms including Ticketing let you list free events without per-ticket fees. If you're running paid theatre groups, the fees still apply. Tickts is free for both paid and free events.
