Ticketing platform fees compared, on a typical Oxford event

A typical mid-scale Oxford event sells around 100 tickets at £20 face value. Here's what each platform's fees would total at that volume:

Tickts0%£0 (0%)
Eventbrite3.7% + 59p£191
Skiddle10% + 50p£250
Fatsoma5% + 49p£149
TicketmasterQuoteQuote-based
TicketSource7% + 25p£165

What Oxford 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 Oxford 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.
