## The alternatives, one by one

What are the best Stager alternatives?

*### Where do teams go from Stager, and what changes?*

   Every alternative, in words

- **Ticket Fairy** Covers the same things you need
- **SmartGig** Covers the same things you need
- **Opendate** Not published by Opendate: Crew and volunteer rota, Passes and accreditation
- **Artifax** Leaves out: Crew and volunteer rota Not published by Artifax: Ticket sales in the same system

Each alternative is set against what Stager gives you today.

1. ### 1\. Ticket Fairy
     Built for events  
   You sell tickets with one standard ticketing fee, card processing included, and send contracts from your templates to many performers at once to sign online. Your artists open their advance from a link without a login, and your accreditation passes sit in the same system.

   - Every plan has one standard ticketing fee, and you choose whether buyers pay it on top of your price or you absorb it. On a paid plan you can add your own ticketing fee on top of Ticket Fairy's, a percentage and a fixed amount in each currency, and you keep your own fee. Ticket Fairy's ticketing fee stays Ticket Fairy's and, after payment processing, counts towards your plan bill. Where fees show on top of the price, the whole ticketing fee is capped at twice the standard fee. In the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain, Ireland and Mexico, where the law asks for one all-in price, the fees are included in your ticket price.[7](#source-7)
   - Your buyers' ticketing fee includes card processing and customer service for your buyers.[1](#source-1)
   - You can send contracts from your templates to many performers, traders or suppliers at once and get them signed online, with a signature certificate.[8](#source-8)
   - Your artists can open their advance from a link without a login, and Fai fills in the advance from riders, tour books and emails.[9](#source-9)
   - You can take accreditation requests, give each organization its pass allowance, accredit press and issue passes from a pass desk, and your door team scans passes and tickets with the same app.[3](#source-3)

   #### Only on Ticket Fairy

   - **Cashless payments** Your fans can pay at your bars and traders with the RFID wristband linked to their ticket, top up early and get unused credit back [10](#source-10)
