Switch from Fatsoma to Ticketable

Fatsoma is a familiar name for student and club-night promoters, but it charges 5% + 49p on every paid ticket. Ticketable charges 0%, pays into your own Stripe, and is just as quick to set up for a freshers' event or a club night.

Why organisers move from Fatsoma

  • Cut the 5% + 49p. Across a busy student calendar, Fatsoma's per-ticket fee adds up. Ticketable's platform fee is £0 — you only pay Stripe's processing at cost.
  • Built for fast, repeat events. Publish a club night in minutes, reuse ticket types, apply discount codes, and check people in from any phone — including offline at a venue with poor signal.
  • Keep your promoter audience. Your attendee list is yours to keep and re-market — not locked to the platform.

How to switch to Ticketable

  1. Export your attendees. Download your existing customer list from Fatsoma so you can invite past buyers to your next event. Your audience is yours to keep.
  2. Create your event on Ticketable. Set up the event, ticket types and capacity — it takes a few minutes, with no demo or sales call.
  3. Connect your Stripe account. Link your own Stripe so payments land directly in your bank with daily payouts. Running a free event? You can publish without Stripe.
  4. Publish and share. Go live, share your branded booking link, and check attendees in at the door with the free scanner app.

What you bring with you

The things that matter come with you: your audience (export your buyers and keep marketing to them), your branding (an organiser-themed booking page), and your money (paid directly into your own Stripe account, daily). There’s no contract and no minimum, so you can move one event at a time. For the full numbers, see the Ticketable vs Fatsoma comparison.
