Ticket Fairy publishes this comparison and also sells event ticketing and event management software. [How we compare platforms](https://www.ticketfairy.com/compare/methodology)

- **9 of 11** of the things you need, confirmed on the published pages of Posh
- **8 of 11** of the things you need, confirmed on the published pages of Shotgun
- **2** things you need that Ticket Fairy includes and we did not find on the other platforms' pages

## The short answer

Which should you choose?

### Posh's strongest features

- Standard payouts arrive by ACH in 3-5 business days; payout schedule can be manual or daily.[1](#source-1)
- Organizers can sell VIP tables from an interactive floor plan; each table purchase has a flat $5 processing fee.[2](#source-2)

### Shotgun's strongest features

- Event balance paid out automatically 24 hours after the event; manual payouts earlier[3](#source-3)
- Events with lineups are shared automatically to Spotify, Bandsintown, Songkick and over 20 other music platforms.[4](#source-4)

Posh suits you if you want daily payouts, VIP tables on a floor plan and free SMS blasts. Shotgun suits you if you want your money 24 hours after the event, fan resale in its app and your line-up shared to music platforms.

## Why event teams choose Ticket Fairy

Why do nightlife promoters choose Ticket Fairy over both Posh and Shotgun?

You can be paid daily as tickets sell and choose who pays the ticketing fee. Each fan who comments TICKETS on your post gets your ticket link by direct message, and you can text the buyers who came last time. Once you sell out, fans resell at face value.

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

- **Fees** Every plan has one standard ticketing fee that buyers pay or you absorb, and on a paid plan you can add your own ticketing fee on top, which you keep [5](#source-5)
- **Sells through AI assistants** Your buyers can find and buy your tickets inside the AI assistants you choose [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.[5](#source-5)
- You choose whether buyers pay the ticketing fee on top of your price or you absorb it.[5](#source-5)
- Your fans can resell and transfer tickets at face value, and each returned ticket is offered to the next fan on your waiting list.[7](#source-7)
- Each fan who comments TICKETS, or a word you choose, gets your ticket link by direct message, day and night.[8](#source-8)
- You can text people who bought tickets, choosing them by ticket type, add-on or whether they came, and see roughly how many people that is before you send.[9](#source-9)
