Why organisers switch to tickts
Your fans pay less
On tickts, the price your fans see is the price they pay.
Paid direct to your account
Fatsoma holds your money until you manually request a withdrawal. With tickts, payments go straight to your own account the moment a ticket is sold.
You control the money
With tickts, you connect your own Stripe or PayPal account. The money is yours from the moment a fan buys a ticket. No middleman, no withdrawal process.
Real customer support
Fatsoma only offers an online form for support. tickts gives you real humans, based in the UK, who actually respond.
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.

tickts offers a free Starter plan that covers everything most organisers need. For those who want advanced features like analytics, email campaigns, CRM, and higher event limits, we offer optional paid Growth and Pro plans. Fans never pay booking fees on any plan.
tickts includes a built-in affiliate system. Each rep gets a tracked link, and commission is calculated automatically on verified ticket sales attributed to their link. Reps never handle ticket inventory, and organisers retain full control of KYC on payouts. Fatsoma's reps-and-wristbands model has been the subject of ongoing student-media reporting, including multiple Student Room threads and Impact Magazine's Nottingham freshers promotions investigation. If you want word-of-mouth promotion without the reputational risk of wristband-reselling, the tickts affiliate system is the cleaner approach.
