Why organisers switch to tickts

Your fans pay face value

On tickts, a 25 ticket costs 25. No surprises at the final step.

Paid direct to your account

DesignMyNight does not publicly disclose payout schedules. With tickts, payments go straight to your own account the moment a ticket is sold.

Built for all events

DesignMyNight is focused on hospitality and nightlife. tickts is built for all live events: sports, music, comedy, theatre, festivals, and more.

No corporate parent

DesignMyNight is part of The Access Group. tickts is independent, built by organisers for organisers.

Optional refund protection for fans

At checkout your fans can add TicketPlan refund protection and claim the ticket price back if they cannot attend for a covered reason. It is optional, never pre-ticked, and the premium never touches your payout.

Frequently asked questions

tickts has a free Starter plan with zero booking fees for fans, zero commission, and no setup costs. Organisers connect their own Stripe or PayPal account and payments go directly to them.
