Their support carries on between nights out. [Get started free](https://manage.ticketfairy.com/registration) [Book a demo](https://www.ticketfairy.com/event-ticketing/book-a-demo) ![Ticket Fairy Memberships overview with the link to the join page, 1,934 active members and 148 who joined this month](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-fan-memberships--overview.png) - Fans who feel part of your crowd all year - Subscribers in at the door with their wallet card - Support from your community between events - **25,000+** events powered - **10M+** tickets issued - **10+** countries ## How fans join, get in and stay close 1. ### Fans join on your page They choose a free, monthly or yearly tier and get a welcome email. 2. ### Their card goes in their wallet Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, with a card for each person in a household. 3. ### They get in and enjoy their perks Your door team scans the card in Entry Fairy, and your bar scans their free-drink voucher. 4. ### They stay close all year Subscribers hear about new nights first, read your posts and renew on their own. ## Build tiers for every kind of fan Fans can subscribe to a free tier that keeps them in the loop, or to a monthly or yearly tier with the perks your regulars love most. You design each tier with its own price and perks, such as free entry, member prices and tickets before everyone else. Fans join on your own join page, get a welcome email and their membership card, and stay subscribed until they choose to stop. A household tier gives each person their own card, and a tier with a limit keeps a [waiting list](https://www.ticketfairy.com/features/orders-refunds-and-resale/resale-transfers-and-waiting-lists) for the next place that opens. - **Membership tiers**: free, monthly or yearly, each with its own perks - **Join page**: your tiers, your words and your web address - **Household tiers**: a card for each person in the home ![Ticket Fairy membership Tiers list with Friends, Regulars, Household and Inner Circle, their prices, members and perks](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-fan-memberships--tiers.png) ## Let subscribers in with the card on their phone Every subscriber gets a membership card for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, and it gets them into the events you choose. They can reserve a free place ahead with the guests their tier allows, or show the card at the door, and your team scans it in Entry Fairy like a ticket. You choose which events each tier covers, future nights in a series included, and how many nights a subscriber can come to each month or year. Every free entry counts towards your capacity and shows in your check-in report. - **Wallet card**: in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet - **Card at the door**: scanned in Entry Fairy like a ticket - **Reserve ahead**: a free place, with guests ![The Regulars tier form in Ticket Fairy with its monthly and yearly prices and its free entry perk: four nights a month at all your events, with one guest each time](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-fan-memberships--tier-form.png) ## Keep your best tickets for subscribers Subscribers buy in the same checkout as everyone else and see what their membership gets them. You can keep any ticket type, VIP table or add-on for subscribers, or for the tiers you choose, and nobody else sees it. Or keep it on sale to everyone and give subscribers their own price, the same for every tier or different for each. Subscribers can also buy before your general on-sale, keep buying after it closes and buy more tickets in one order. - **Tickets for subscribers only**: ticket types, tables and add-ons kept for them - **Member prices**: the same for every tier or different for each - **Early access**: before your general on-sale ![Ticket Fairy Member access for New Year Party, with who can buy each ticket, table and add-on and what members pay](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-fan-memberships--member-access.png) ## Give subscribers perks they feel at every visit The perks subscribers notice most happen at your door and your bar. You can let them in before your doors open, with the friends on their order, and give them a free drink, a cloakroom ticket or parking at each event, which your bar team scans once. Between nights out, they can get credit to spend on your tickets, a treat on their birthday, first place on your waiting lists and news of new events before anyone else. Posts only subscribers can read and a private community link keep everyone close all year. - **Early entry**: in before your doors open to everyone - **Free drink or extra**: a voucher your bar team scans once - **Credit and birthday treats**: reasons to come back all year ![A member's page in Ticket Fairy with Maya Okafor's perks in effect and the free-drink vouchers she has used and still has](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-fan-memberships--member-entries.png) ## Grow your community with trials, gifts and referrals A good launch offer brings your first subscribers in, and they bring their friends. You can run a free trial, a founder price for your first subscribers or a code for your launch campaign, with a limit on how many people can use it. Fans can give a membership to a friend, and every paying subscriber gets a referral link that earns them free months when a friend joins and pays. Subscribers can pause for one to three months instead of leaving, and you choose your refund policy. - **Trials and founder prices**: with codes and a limit on uses - **Gift memberships**: months a fan gives to a friend - **Referrals**: free months for each friend who joins ![Ticket Fairy membership Offers list with a founder price, a friend's code and a launch code, each with its discount, tiers and uses](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-fan-memberships--offers.png) ## Get to know every subscriber You can see who joined, who left and how your community grows each month, with the support it brings in between events. Fai, the AI teammate in your dashboard, can set up tiers and perks, add subscribers, post to them and report the numbers, and she asks you before any money moves. Each subscriber has their own page with their card, payments, event entries, vouchers and history, and you can pause, refund, change their tier or add someone to their household. Perks you hand over yourself, such as a welcome pack or a signed print, wait on a To deliver list until you mark them done. - **Membership overview**: members, new joiners and monthly income - **A page for each subscriber**: card, payments, entries and history - **Help from Fai**: tiers, perks, subscribers and reports ![Maya Okafor's member page in Ticket Fairy with her tier, price, next payment and payment card](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-fan-memberships--member-detail.png) ## 5% of each subscriber payment, plus card processing Half Patreon's standard fee 10% Patreon's standard fee for creators who publish after 3 August 2025 [Source: Patreon, checked 24 October 2026](https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/11111747095181-Creator-fees-overview) - No monthly fee - No fee on free tiers - No fee on free entry [See pricing](https://www.ticketfairy.com/pricing) [Get Started for Free](https://manage.ticketfairy.com/registration) [Book Demo Call](https://www.ticketfairy.com/event-ticketing/book-a-demo) ## Everything your community gets - ### Household tiers One payment covers a whole household, and each person gets their own card. - ### Guest passes Subscribers bring friends from an allowance of guest passes each month or year. - ### Posts for subscribers You post news, pictures and links that only subscribers of the tiers you choose can read. - ### Community link A private link to your Discord, WhatsApp or Telegram group, shown only to subscribers. - ### Seats for subscribers Subscribers book seats in the sections you keep for them and choose seats before your general sale. - ### Priority support Questions from subscribers go to the top of your support inbox. - ### Membership tiers Fans subscribe every month or every year, or join a free tier, for the perks you choose. - ### Wallet membership cards Every subscriber gets a card for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, in your tier's own colors. - ### Free entry Subscribers reserve a free place ahead or scan their card at the door, with the visits and guests you set. - ### Tickets, tables and add-ons for subscribers You can keep any ticket type, table or add-on for subscribers, or for the tiers you choose. - ### Member prices Subscribers pay their own price on the tickets and extras you choose, in the same checkout. - ### Early access and last-chance tickets Subscribers can buy before your general on-sale and after it closes to everyone else. - ### Early entry and re-entry Subscribers get in before your doors open, come back in after they leave and use a members' area. - ### Drinks and extras A free drink, cloakroom ticket or parking at each event, scanned once by your bar or car park team. - ### Credit to spend Subscribers get an amount to spend on your tickets and add-ons for every month or year they pay for. - ### Birthday rewards Subscribers get an email from you on their birthday with a voucher, credit or your own message. - ### Waiting list priority Subscribers are offered sold-out and resale tickets before everyone else on the list. - ### Prize draws for subscribers A prize draw can be for subscribers only, or give them extra entries.

Ticket Fairy keeps 5% of each subscriber payment, plus card processing. There is no monthly fee, and no fee on free tiers, free trials, free months or the free entry subscribers use. #### How is a membership different from a season pass? A season pass is one payment for a set number of events. A membership renews every month or year, and its perks run for as long as the subscriber stays. #### Can subscribers get a refund when they leave? You choose the refund policy: none by default, or a window of 1 to 60 days after each payment that you set. Whatever you choose, you can refund a payment yourself from the subscriber's page. #### Can Fai run memberships for me? Yes. Fai can create tiers with every perk, add free subscribers, handle cancellations, pauses, refunds and reservations, post to subscribers and report the numbers. She shows you each change and waits for your approval before money moves. #### How do Ticket Fairy memberships compare with other membership platforms? The membership comparison pages set Ticket Fairy beside Patreon, Memberful, Ko-fi, Buy Me a Coffee and Join It, with each platform's fees and features taken from its own published pages and dated. #### Can subscribers get in if the scanner has no signal? A subscriber who reserved ahead has a normal ticket, which scans offline. Scanning the membership card itself needs the phone to be online, so ask subscribers to reserve ahead at a venue with a weak signal. #### Do early entry and re-entry work when the scanner has no signal? Early entry, re-entry and a members' area are checked when your door team scans the ticket, so the scanning phone needs to be online for them. #### Do membership prices include tax? Membership payments are charged at the price you set, with no tax added on top. If you charge tax on memberships, set prices that include it. #### Can subscribers pay for a membership in installments? No. A membership is paid every month or every year, and each payment is charged in full. #### What happens to existing subscribers when I change a tier's price? They keep the price they joined at. A new price applies to people who join after you change it. #### Can a perk skip age checks, ID checks or Ticket Fairy's fees? No. Perks change what you control, such as your prices, sale dates, door times and limits. Before a subscriber gets a free place, they pass the same date of birth or ID check as every ticket buyer, and Ticket Fairy's fees and your fans' email choices apply as they do for tickets. At an event that checks the age of everyone with a ticket, free entry covers the main subscriber only, without guests. #### Can a subscriber use a free drink voucher twice? No. Each voucher scans once, and a second scan shows that it was already used. Subscribers get new vouchers for each event the perk covers. #### Who pays for the credit subscribers spend? You do. Credit comes off the subscriber's order like a discount from you, and Ticket Fairy's fees are worked out on the price before the credit. Credit a subscriber doesn't spend lapses at the end of the month or year it was for. It pays for tickets and add-ons in its own currency, never for fees or tax, and isn't used on resale tickets, tables, deposits or events priced with the ticketing fee on the Ticket Fairy pricing page. The order summary at checkout shows how much credit came off. #### Do subscribers give their full date of birth for a birthday reward? No. Subscribers give the day and month only, never the year, on their membership page or on your join page. A subscriber who hasn't given their birthday gets no birthday reward. #### Which seated events can keep seats for subscribers? Events that sell reserved seats from a seat map your Ticket Fairy contact builds with you. You choose the seats for subscribers, and your contact keeps them in a members' section on each event's map. #### How many people can share a household membership? Up to 6, including the subscriber who pays. Each person gets their own card and their own visits to your events. #### Can subscribers pause their membership? Yes, for 1 to 3 months from the end of the period they paid for, on the tiers where you allow it. You can pause any paid membership yourself from the subscriber's page. No payment is taken while a membership is paused. #### How long can a free trial last? From 1 to 90 days. The subscriber's card is saved when they join and charged when the trial ends. Each person and each card gets one trial with your brand, and a trial includes free entry only if you choose. #### When does a subscriber earn a free month for a referral? When the friend they referred makes their first real payment, and 14 days have passed without a refund. You choose 1 to 12 free months for each friend and can set a yearly limit. Gifts, free tiers and complimentary memberships do not earn referral months. ## More of Ticket Fairy - ### [Let your buyers sell tickets to their friends](https://www.ticketfairy.com/features/referral-marketing) Events sell 20% more tickets on average with referral rewards.
