## Why event teams choose Ticket Fairy

Why do event teams choose Ticket Fairy over both Eventbrite and Tixr?

You get one standard ticketing fee on every plan, and you choose whether your buyers pay it or you absorb it. You can also add your own ticketing fee on top of Ticket Fairy's, and you keep your own fee. You can be paid daily as tickets sell. Fans can pay with a deposit and installments, resell at face value and earn referral rewards for bringing their friends.

### Included on Ticket Fairy, not found on the other platforms' pages

- **Sells through AI assistants** Your buyers can find and buy your tickets inside the AI assistants you choose [5](#source-5)

- Every plan has one standard ticketing fee, and you choose whether buyers pay it on top of your price or you absorb it. On a paid plan you can also add your own ticketing fee on top of Ticket Fairy's, set as a percentage and a fixed amount in each currency, and you keep your own fee. Ticket Fairy's fee stays with Ticket Fairy, and what's left of it after payment processing reduces your next plan bill. When fees are shown on top of the price, the total ticketing fee is capped at twice the standard fee. In the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain, Ireland and Mexico, the law asks for one all-in price, so the fees are included in your ticket price.[6](#source-6)
- 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.[6](#source-6)
- Buyers can pay for bigger tickets with a deposit now and installments later.[7](#source-7)
- Your fans can resell and transfer tickets at face value, and each returned ticket is offered to the next fan on your waiting list.[8](#source-8)
- You can promote your events with email and text campaigns, promo codes and referral rewards.[9](#source-9)
