You know who pays the ticketing fee, and whether fans pay the price they see. 2. You get paid soon enough to settle with your acts and crew. 3. Fans pick their own seats when your room is seated. 4. Fans resell at face value or join a waiting list when a show sells out. 5. Your door team scans every ticket quickly, even at a full room. ## The platforms, ranked Which ticketing platforms suit concerts and live music venues best?

What is the best ticketing platform for concerts? Ticket Fairy is the best fit if you want daily payouts on your own Stripe or Xendit account where your country supports it, seat maps and face-value resale from one platform. DICE suits shows that want all-in prices in a fan app, and Ticketmaster suits larger rooms that want SafeTix tickets and Smart Queue for high-demand on-sales. [1](#source-1) [10](#source-10) [11](#source-11) [2](#source-2) [4](#source-4) [22](#source-22) Can I get paid in time to settle with my acts? Yes: Ticket Fairy can pay you daily as tickets sell on your own Stripe or Xendit account where your country supports it, and usually pays money it processes 10 to 15 business days after the event, and funds can be held for the chargeback window where there are chargebacks or cancellations. DICE pays within 5 business days after the event, Eventbrite pays three business days after it ends by default, and Universe lets you withdraw 48 hours after it ends. [1](#source-1) [16](#source-16) [20](#source-20) [27](#source-27) Can fans pick their own seats for a seated show? Yes. On Ticket Fairy your buyers pick their own seat on your venue's map, and DICE, Eventbrite, Ticketmaster, AXS, Etix and Tixr also sell reserved seats. Universe no longer lets you create new listings with a seating plan.

Ticket Fairy lets fans resell at face value and offers each returned ticket to the next fan on your waiting list, and you can cap how many tickets one buyer takes. DICE offers returned tickets to fans on its Wait List, Ticketmaster runs a Face Value Exchange, and Tixr lets you set price floors and ceilings on its official resale. [11](#source-11) [88](#source-88) [15](#source-15) [89](#source-89) [38](#source-38) Who pays the ticketing fee on concert tickets? On Ticket Fairy you choose whether buyers pay the fee on top of your price or you absorb it, and the fee includes card processing. DICE includes its fee in the price buyers see, and Eventbrite charges buyers by default with an option to absorb it for each ticket type. On one US$40 ticket in the US, with the fee absorbed, Ticket Fairy's ticketing fee is US$4.00, card processing and tax included. DICE's 13% service fee, which DICE adds to face value, is US$5.20, payment processing included. Eventbrite's service fee of 3.7% + US$1.79 is US$3.27, and its 2.9% payment processing on the order adds US$1.16, so US$4.43 in all.

On Ticket Fairy your door team scans tickets on their own phones, and your buyers keep their tickets in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. AXS Mobile ID entry works without WiFi or data, the Tixr Door app scans offline on iOS, and TicketWeb's CheckIn app checks tickets even when the scanner is offline. DICE sizes entry from its Scanner app to scanners and staff, Ticketmaster scans SafeTix tickets on standard mobile devices, the Eventbrite Organizer app scans QR codes at the door, Universe's free BoxOffice app scans tickets and sells at the door, and the Etix Scanner app runs on iOS and Android.

Ticket Fairy comes first as the featured all-in-one option: Ticket Fairy publishes this list, it is our own platform, and you can run your whole show on it, from ticket sales to artist offers, contracts and settlements, not only the ticketing. Every other platform follows in order of how many of the five things we compared it includes: fees, payouts, reserved seating, resale and door scanning. Platforms with the same count follow how closely they fit a concert or live music venue, where seat maps, fair resale and paying the acts on time matter most. DICE and Eventbrite include all five. Ticketmaster does not publish its fee amounts or payout timing, Universe does not publish a fee amount and no longer lets you create new listings with a seating plan, and AXS, Etix and Tixr do not publish their fees or payout timing, so each counts three of the five. TicketWeb does not publish its fee amounts, its payout timing or a resale option, so it counts two. We describe every platform from its own published pages, and every fact links to its source, so you can check it before you choose.
