Honest pricing
3.5% per ticket. Stripe charges 1.5% + 20p, we don't touch that.
Events are the oldest thing humans do. They shouldn't be one of the most expensive.
People have gathered for ten thousand years. To celebrate, to trade, to mark time, to find each other. Most of the industry treats this as a chance to take a bigger cut. We disagree. The people who put on events are the reason any of this exists. They shouldn't be the ones being squeezed.
So we charge what we think is fair, and nothing more.
Free to try. No credit card needed.
Everything included. Always.
No "Pro" tier. No upsell. No catch.
Every feature on this page is on every account from the moment you sign up. We don't gate the useful bits behind a higher plan, because we don't believe organisers should pay more to do the basics well.

Fairs and exhibitions
Stallholder pages, priced for everybody.
If you run a fair or an exhibition, every trader gets a free basic listing on your show. The Trader Full page is an upgrade for the stallholders who want a proper presence.
Who pays.
Up to you. Add it to the stall fee and bill the trader, absorb it into your show, or split the cost. Configure per show.
Removed before doors.
If a trader is removed from the show before doors open, the £19.99 is refunded automatically. Nobody pays for a slot they didn't get.
Trader Full
per show
- Full stallholder page: Photos, story, opening times, social links, what they're bringing.
- Lead capture: Visitors save the stall to their show plan. Trader sees the list.
- Cross-show promotion: Trader pages appear in the discovery feed for fans following the show.
- Refunded if removed: Pulled from the show before doors? The £19.99 comes back, automatically.

By default, you. The 3.5% comes out of the ticket price you set. If you want the fan to cover it instead, switch on "pass fees to buyer" in event settings and the fee shows as a line item at checkout.
When you refund a ticket, you get the 3.5% back too. Stripe's 1.5% + 20p stays with Stripe (that's their policy on every platform, not ours). You're never out of pocket for our share.
Stripe pays out daily by default once your account is verified. New accounts have a short hold while Stripe completes verification. After that, money lands in your bank in two business days.

No. No setup fee. No monthly fee. No per-seat fee. No "Pro" tier. No charge for QR scanning, embeds, automated emails, or analytics. The 3.5% per ticket and the £19.99 per Trader Full page are the only numbers.
Stripe charges 1.5% + 20p per UK card transaction (a bit more for EU and international cards, that's their published rate). Stripe takes that directly. It never sits with us. You can read Stripe's fee schedule on their website.
Cancel any time, no penalty. Refund all tickets in one click. We refund our 3.5% on each refunded ticket. Stripe's processing fee stays with Stripe (their policy, every platform).
Pound sterling for the UK. Euros and US dollars for organisers based in the EU and US. Stripe handles the conversion. We're focused on the UK first, but the platform works everywhere Stripe does.
