What London organisers should consider

Local audience reach: Skiddle has strong club-night reach across the UK; DICE skews toward music gigs in larger cities; Eventbrite is ubiquitous for general events. None of these are a substitute for your own marketing.
Venue requirements: Some London venues have preferred ticketing partners. Check before committing to a platform.
Payout timing: Platforms hold funds for different periods. TicketSource pays the Monday after your event; Tickts pays daily via Stripe; some platforms hold funds for 5+ working days post-event.
Fee structure: Compare percentage-based vs flat-fee models. Ticket Tailor's flat per-ticket model can be cheaper at higher prices; percentage-based models can be cheaper for lower-priced tickets.
