Mykesbass Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 We are just about to launch our first self promoted show. Anyone have any experience of using any of the ticketing platforms? Eventbrite seems to be the industry leader, but takes 49p per sale (which isn't bad, but significant on a lower ticket price). So has anyone had any good experience with any alternatives? Thanks.

bazzbass Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 good luck as far as I knew, EVERY gig is a self promoted show. Nobody else does it for you unless you pay them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricksterphil Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Try 'The Circle' group on Facebook. Someone on there can probably help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we pay them for the sound engineer then everything else is down to us. Quite liberating in a way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going with Eventbrite this time, but will compare with See Tickets for the next one (there's optimism for you)! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
