Switch from TicketSource to Ticketable
TicketSource is a solid, free-to-organiser platform popular with theatres and community venues — but it adds a per-ticket booking fee (7% + 25p incl VAT) to your buyers' totals. Ticketable is also free to organisers and adds no booking fee for buyers either, so your advertised price is what they pay.
Why organisers move from TicketSource
- No booking fee for your buyers. TicketSource passes 7% + 25p per ticket to the buyer. Ticketable charges no booking fee at all — only Stripe's processing at cost — so your prices look lower at checkout and convert better.
- Run entirely on your own Stripe. Connect your own Stripe account and money lands in your bank directly with daily payouts — no waiting on a platform to settle.
- The full toolkit, free. Multiple ticket types, discount codes, QR check-in, Apple/Google Wallet + PDF tickets and refunds are all included with no platform fee.
How to switch to Ticketable
- Export your attendees. Download your existing customer list from TicketSource so you can invite past buyers to your next event. Your audience is yours to keep.
- Create your event on Ticketable. Set up the event, ticket types and capacity — it takes a few minutes, with no demo or sales call.
- 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.
- 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 TicketSource comparison.
Frequently asked questions
Both are free to organisers — why switch?
The difference is what your buyers pay. TicketSource adds a 7% + 25p per-ticket booking fee; Ticketable adds none, so on the same face-value ticket your buyer pays less at checkout.
Is Ticketable suitable for theatres and community venues?
Yes — multiple ticket types, concession pricing via discount codes, QR check-in and wallet + PDF tickets are all free. (Reserved seating maps aren't a feature yet — worth checking if that's essential.)
How do payouts work?
Ticketable runs on your own Stripe account, so money lands directly in your bank with daily payouts — Ticketable never holds your funds.
