- **10** platforms ranked for festivals
- **5** things the ranking weighs
- **Ticket Fairy** featured first, for your whole event

## What should a festival look for in a ticketing platform?

You sell most of your festival tickets months before the gates open, often at a higher price than a single show, and you pay artist and supplier deposits long before the event. You want fans to spread the cost, your ticket money in time for those deposits, fair resale once you sell out and thousands of people through the gates quickly.

1. Fans can spread the cost of a weekend ticket with a payment plan.
2. You get paid in time for the deposits due before the gates open.
3. Fans resell at face value or join a waiting list once you sell out.
4. Fans can book camping, parking and VIP with their tickets.
5. Your door team keeps every gate moving.

## What else should you know?

What is the best ticketing platform for a festival?:  Ticket Fairy is the best fit if you want payment plans for your fans, daily payouts on your own Stripe or Xendit account and face-value resale from one platform. Tixr suits a larger festival that sells campsites and parking as reserved places, and Skiddle suits a UK festival that wants monthly payment plans and face-value resale.

Can I get my ticket money before the festival to pay deposits?:  Yes, on some platforms: Ticket Fairy can pay you daily as tickets sell on your own Stripe or Xendit account. Skiddle's DirectPay sends ticket money to your own Stripe account as sales happen, and Ticket Tailor takes payments through your own Stripe, PayPal or Square account. Humanitix and DICE pay within 5 business days after the event. [1](#source-1) [59](#source-59) [60](#source-60) [61](#source-61) [62](#source-62)

Can fans resell festival tickets at face value once I sell out?:  Yes: Ticket Fairy, Skiddle and Humanitix let fans resell at face value, and DICE offers returned tickets to fans on its Wait List. Tixr runs resale with price floors and ceilings that you set, and Resident Advisor resells returned tickets at the final tier price. [30](#source-30) [52](#source-52) [63](#source-63) [64](#source-64) [65](#source-65) [66](#source-66)

Can I sell camping, parking and extras with my festival tickets?:  Yes, on several platforms. On Tixr you can sell campsites, RV spots and parking as reserved places, and merchandise in the ticket checkout. Resident Advisor sells add-ons such as drinks, travel or accommodation with the ticket. [50](#source-50) [67](#source-67) [68](#source-68)

Will my door team still scan tickets if the festival site loses signal?:  Yes, if you use Skiddle's RapidScan, Resident Advisor's RA Scan, Ticket Tailor's Check-in app or the Tixr Door app on iOS: each says your door team can keep scanning offline. On Ticket Fairy, your door team scans tickets on their own phones. [69](#source-69) [70](#source-70) [71](#source-71) [72](#source-72) [40](#source-40)

## 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 event on it, from ticket sales to artist contracts, suppliers and crew, 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, resale and door scanning. Platforms with the same count follow how closely they fit a festival, where payment plans, early payouts and fair resale decide when your ticket money arrives and how your fans are treated. Skiddle, Humanitix, Resident Advisor, DICE and Universe include all five, some on a paid plan. 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.
