Which should you choose?

### Why choose Ticket Fairy over Kaboodle?

- On your own connected Stripe account, where your country supports it, payouts can arrive daily as tickets sell. When Ticket Fairy processes your sales, your money usually arrives 10 to 15 business days after the event, and if there are chargebacks or cancellations it can be held until the chargeback window closes.[1](#source-1)
- Your buyers can pick their own seat on your venue's map.[2](#source-2)
- Each buyer of an eligible paid ticket gets their own referral link and earns back part of their ticket price as their friends buy.[3](#source-3)
- Fai can answer questions and make changes once you approve.[4](#source-4)

### Kaboodle's strongest features

- Kaboodle's access control keeps scanning tickets during internet outages.[5](#source-5)
- Kaboodle offers staff and accreditation management, with team recruitment, zones and roles.[6](#source-6)
