Best for UK nightlife and club events with rep teams
Fatsoma is a UK ticketing and marketing platform that is free to join and charges a 10% fee, minimum £1, on every paid ticket. The Professional tier starts at £1,500, and the pages are aimed at the UK.
Who Fatsoma is for
- Fits if you run UK club or live nights and want street teams to sell tickets
- Works for organisers who can pass the booking fee on to buyers
Who Fatsoma is not for
- Pricey if your tickets are cheap, since the fee has a £1 minimum on every paid ticket
- Not for you if you sell outside the UK, as prices are in pounds and the pages are UK-focused
- Skip it if you want your own app on a small budget, as Professional starts at £1,500
- Watch out: the pricing page does not say when payouts are made

Keep Fatsoma, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Fatsoma you would be making email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 44 of the 79 other event ticketing platforms grade higher.
What you could not
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- Selling tickets and checking them at the door.
- Every click and sale traced back to the right partner.
- Scanning barcodes with a phone camera or a scanner.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
What this rests on. Fatsoma’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
