## What should you know before moving from ticket i/O?

    What does ticket i/O charge?  ticket i/O does not publish a price. Its pricing page says its price is a system fee and a payment provider fee, offered individually by its sales team. On Ticket Fairy, every plan has one standard ticketing fee with card processing included, and on a paid plan you can add your own ticketing fee on top and keep your own fee. [107](#source-107) [108](#source-108) [32](#source-32) [2](#source-2)    Which ticket i/O alternatives publish their fees?  Ticket Fairy publishes its standard ticketing fee, card processing included, for each country it serves. In Germany, buyers pay TicketPAY's system fees by default, so selling tickets costs the event organizer nothing, and TicketPAY's prices are net, plus 19% VAT. In the UK, EVENTIM.Light charges a ticket fee equivalent to 8% per ticket and Billetto charges 3.99% + £0.90 per ticket excluding VAT. Fever does not publish its price for event organizers. [1](#source-1) [2](#source-2) [15](#source-15) [18](#source-18) [109](#source-109) [110](#source-110) [31](#source-31)    When do I get my ticket money if I leave ticket i/O?  It depends on how the platform holds your money. On Ticket Fairy you can be paid daily as tickets sell on your own Stripe or Xendit account where your country supports it, or Ticket Fairy collects the payments and usually pays you 10 to 15 business days after the event, and funds can be held for the chargeback window where there are chargebacks or cancellations. TicketPAY pays the takings after the event when its accounts take the payments, and EVENTIM.Light pays within five working days once you mark the event Finished. [32](#source-32) [111](#source-111) [13](#source-13)    Which ticket i/O alternatives scan tickets offline?  TicketPAY's free entry app, Eventim's scan app and the XCEED PRO apps all check tickets without internet, as the ticket i/O scan app does, and Fever's mobile ticket validation includes an offline mode. [17](#source-17) [12](#source-12) [24](#source-24) [6](#source-6) [112](#source-112)    Which ticket i/O alternatives offer resale?  Ticket Fairy lets your fans resell and transfer tickets at face value, with each returned ticket offered to the next fan on your waiting list. TicketPAY's secondary market lets buyers resell publicly or by private link, Eventim runs fanSALE fan-to-fan resale capped at the original purchase price, and Billetto buyers can resell through TicketSwap at no more than 20% above face value.

## When staying put makes sense

When should you stay with ticket i/O?

- The ticket i/O scan app works offline after syncing ticket purchases.[6](#source-6)
- ticket i/O's box office cash register is certified under the German Cash Register Security Regulation (KassenSichV).[116](#source-116)
- ticket i/O says your earnings are protected and available even if ticket i/O became insolvent, through strict separation of debt and equity.[7](#source-7)
