You put on the show.
Others take the margin.
Traditional ticketing platforms take a percentage of every ticket sold. They keep your data, display their brand, and stand between you and your audience.
Margin
5 to 8% in fees on every ticket sold, on top of payment processing fees.
Data
Your buyers become theirs. No simple export, no direct relationship.
Relationship
Your audience sees their brand, not yours. You lose the connection.
