Most festival organisers have four options: personal savings, a bank loan, sponsorships, or an advance against future ticket sales.
Traditional finance may not fit the uneven cash flow of live events. Sponsorship deals can take months to close, while self-funding puts your own money at risk.
An advance based on ticket sales can help an independent festival fund artist deposits, venue holds and production costs before ticket revenue arrives.
With Ticket Fairy Capital the process takes weeks, not months: apply online with your ticket sales history from any ticketing platform, get a decision within a few business days, and receive funds typically within 1–2 weeks of approval.
Repayments come out of future ticket revenue as it arrives, so payments follow your on-sale instead of a fixed bank schedule.
