TicketKind vs Ticket Tailor
A flat "Pay as you go" fee of £0.60 + VAT per paid ticket, with no commitment. Buying ticket credits upfront lowers this to from £0.22 + VAT per ticket. Payment processing (Stripe, PayPal or Square) is charged separately by the processor — Ticket Tailor's own published example for a UK Stripe transaction is 1.5% + £0.20.

The organiser chooses whether to pass Ticket Tailor's fee and the processing fee on to the buyer, absorb them, or split them.
Worked examples
| Ticket price | TicketKind fee | TicketKind buyer pays | Ticket Tailor fee | Ticket Tailor total if the fee reaches the buyer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| £5.00 | £0.40 | £5.40 | £1.00 | £6.00 |
| £15.00 | £0.90 | £15.90 | £1.15 | £16.15 |
TicketKind's figures come straight from our own fee schedule (see pricing). Ticket Tailor's figure is £0.60 + 20% VAT = £0.72 (Ticket Tailor's own "Pay as you go" fee), plus Ticket Tailor's own published illustrative UK Stripe processing example, 1.5% + £0.20. Not Ticket Tailor's fee alone.
Worth knowing
- Free for up to 5,000 free tickets a year.
- Buying ticket credits upfront lowers the flat fee to from £0.22 + VAT per ticket — not used in the worked table below, since it needs paying in advance.
- Registered charities get a 50% discount on Ticket Tailor's own fee; CICs, B Corps, PTAs, non-profits and BBN members "may" get 20%, at Ticket Tailor's discretion ("What discounts do we offer?", Ticket Tailor help centre). Tickets priced under £5 including fees get a separate half-usage discount.
- Payment processing (1.5% + £0.20 for a typical UK Stripe transaction, per Ticket Tailor's own example) is illustrative — the actual processor fee depends on the card and processor used.
