## The short answer

Which should you choose?

### Why choose Ticket Fairy over Crescat?

- You can sell your tickets and scan them at the door with the same Ticket Fairy account you use for artist contracts, suppliers and crew.[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.[2](#source-2)
- You can settle with artists from a draft built on your actual ticket sales after refunds, and see where every line came from.[3](#source-3)

### Crescat's strongest features

- You can drag and drop performances onto your festival schedule and filter by day or stage.[4](#source-4)
- Each artist's itinerary builds itself as you add them to a show or update their travel and accommodation.[5](#source-5)
- Crescat Venue flags booking overlaps before they happen.[6](#source-6)

Ticket Fairy is the better fit when you want artist contracts, crew, the run of show and your budget in the same place as your ticket sales. Crescat suits you if you want a drag-and-drop festival schedule, artist itineraries that build themselves and a venue calendar that flags double bookings.
