## What matters for your events

What should a convention or fan event look for in a ticketing platform?

You sell weekend, day and VIP passes months ahead, often to fans who travel and budget for the trip, and you also let in exhibitors, guests and press. You need payment plans for bigger passes, passes on your own website, a fee fans accept, money in time to pay your guests and venue, and a door that handles fans and badges together.

1. You know what each pass costs in fees, and who pays them.
2. You get paid in time to pay your guests, venue and suppliers.
3. Fans can spread the cost of bigger passes with a payment plan.
4. Fans buy passes on your own website.
5. Your door team scans fans, exhibitors and press quickly.

## How we chose and ranked them

How did we choose and rank these platforms?

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 convention on it, from ticket sales and accreditation to guest contracts, crew and the door, not only the ticketing. Every other platform follows in order of how many of the five things we compared it includes: fees, payouts, payment plans, your event website or checkout on your site and door scanning. Platforms with the same count follow how closely they fit a convention or fan event, where payment plans and passes sold on your own site matter most. Events.com, TicketSpice, Showpass and Humanitix include all five, Showpass with pay-over-time on its Premium plan. Ticketsauce and Universe do not publish a fee amount, and Eventbrite does not offer installment plans, so each counts four. Universe has payment plans on its Standard plan until 9 December 2026. Tixr does not publish its fees or payout timing, so it counts three of the five. We describe every platform from its own published pages, and every fact links to its source, so you can check it before you choose.
