What is the best alternative to Event Tickets for selling tickets on WordPress? Ticket Fairy Events is the best fit if you want no plugin price, with seat maps, door scanning and payouts included. FooEvents suits a WooCommerce store, and Tickera suits you if you run several sites on one license. [1](#source-1) [7](#source-7) [12](#source-12) Which Event Tickets alternatives take no commission on ticket sales? FooEvents, Tickera, Eventin and Events Manager take no commission on ticket sales, and Event Espresso takes none with an active license. Your payment gateway charges its own card fees. On Ticket Fairy, one ticketing fee includes card processing, and your buyers pay it or you absorb it. [7](#source-7) [11](#source-11) [94](#source-94) [24](#source-24) [95](#source-95) [37](#source-37) Which alternatives let buyers choose their seats? Ticket Fairy lets your buyers pick their own seat on your venue's map. FooEvents Seating, Tickera's Seating Charts and Eventin's seat plans also let buyers choose their seats. We did not find seat selection documented for Event Espresso or WooCommerce Box Office. [2](#source-2) [96](#source-96) [97](#source-97) [16](#source-16) [98](#source-98) [99](#source-99) Can I move from Event Tickets to another plugin? Yes. Event Tickets exports every ticket sold and every guest registered as a CSV file, and Eventin's own pages say it imports events from The Events Calendar. With Ticket Fairy, you add the free Ticket Fairy Events plugin, then add the Ticket Fairy Tickets block to a page. [100](#source-100) [101](#source-101) [1](#source-1) Do I need WooCommerce to sell tickets on WordPress? Not with Ticket Fairy Events, which needs no WooCommerce or API key. FooEvents needs WordPress and WooCommerce installed. Event Espresso and Tickera take payments through their own built-in gateways, and so does Events Manager on Pro. [1](#source-1) [102](#source-102) [103](#source-103) [104](#source-104) [105](#source-105) 2 more questions Can Fai help me sell tickets from my WordPress site? Yes. Fai, Ticket Fairy's AI teammate, already knows your events, ticket sales, orders and buyers, so you have nothing to export or upload. She can create ticket releases, promo codes and buyer emails, and saves each change only when you approve it. [106](#source-106) [85](#source-85) When do I get paid with Ticket Fairy? You can be paid daily as tickets sell on your own connected Stripe account, where your country supports it. When Ticket Fairy collects your card payments instead, 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. [37](#source-37) ## When staying put makes sense When does Event Tickets fit your events? Event Tickets suits you when your site already runs The Events Calendar, you want your tickets in the same WooCommerce cart as your other products, or community organizers sell their own events on your site and share the revenue. - Tickets can sell in a WooCommerce store, in the same cart and checkout as other products.[3](#source-3) - Revenue from community-submitted events can be split with the community organizers who sell them.[4](#source-4) - **25,000+** events powered - **10M+** tickets issued - **10+** countries - **20%** more tickets from referral rewards Featured in **TechCrunch** and **Forbes** ## More comparisons for your team Which other tools are you considering? - [Event Tickets vs Ticket Fairy](https://www.ticketfairy.com/compare/wordpress-ticketing/ticket-fairy-vs-event-tickets) - [Best WordPress ticketing plugins for event teams](https://www.ticketfairy.com/compare/wordpress-ticketing/best-wordpress-ticketing-plugins-for-events) - [FooEvents alternatives](https://www.ticketfairy.com/compare/wordpress-ticketing/fooevents-alternatives) - [Event Tickets vs WooCommerce for events](https://www.ticketfairy.com/compare/wordpress-ticketing/event-tickets-vs-woocommerce-for-events) - [Questions about WordPress ticketing plugins](https://www.ticketfairy.com/compare/wordpress-ticketing/questions) - [WordPress ticketing plugins compared](https://www.ticketfairy.com/compare/wordpress-ticketing) Every fact about another platform comes from its own published pages, quoted word for word with the date we read them.
