## The short answer

Which should you choose?

### Why choose Ticket Fairy over Skiddle?

- You can sell your tickets and scan them at the door with the same Ticket Fairy account you use for artist contracts, suppliers and crew.[1](#source-1)
- You can send contracts to many performers, traders or suppliers at once and have them signed online, with a signature certificate.[2](#source-2)
- Your whole team works from one budget in several currencies. It shows planned and actual costs by section, with your approved purchase orders and booking costs next to the plan.[3](#source-3)

### Skiddle's strongest features

- Skiddle states organizers can sign up, list an event and start selling tickets free of charge.[4](#source-4)
- Re:Sell lets buyers resell tickets through Skiddle at face value only, at no cost to the promoter.[5](#source-5)
- The RapidScan app keeps scanning without an internet connection once the event has loaded.[6](#source-6)

Ticket Fairy is the better fit when you want to be paid daily as tickets sell, with seating, resale and marketing on the same account and the choice of who pays the standard ticketing fee. Skiddle's own pages also describe free event listings and offline scanning.
