Ticketebo report card
Good · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for UK events with no organiser fees
Ticketebo is free to use and charges the buyer 4.95% of the order, with a 75p minimum, unless you absorb it. Money is paid after the event by default, staffing and device hire cost extra, and the listing mentions no seating plans.
Who Ticketebo is for
- Fits if you run small UK events and want no upfront cost
- Works for charity, club and community events
Who Ticketebo is not for
- Watch out: you are paid after the event by default, unless you set up Stripe
- Skip it if you want seating plans, as the listing shows none
- Pricey if you absorb the fee on large orders, at 4.95% of the order
- Watch out: staffing and device hire cost extra and have no listed price

Keep Ticketebo, or make your own?
Keep it
Ticketebo is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces.
What you could make
- QR codes and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Selling tickets and checking them at the door.
- Scanning barcodes with a phone camera or a scanner.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. Ticketebo’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.
What is Ticketebo?
Ticketebo is a UK online ticketing and event registration service for festivals, shows, club events and charity nights. Organizers pay nothing to set up; a booking fee is added to each order, by default paid by the buyer. Entry scanning runs on ordinary smartphones, and paid extras such as door staff and device hire are quoted separately.
Worth knowing
- Prices are in pounds; the booking fee is 4.95% of the order incl. VAT with a 75p minimum per order, not a per-ticket charge.
- Default payout comes after the event, so sales money is not available during the campaign unless the Stripe option is set up.
- Premium services such as staffing and device hire cost extra and are priced by contacting the company.
- The Stripe early-payout option requires a Stripe account and adds Stripe's own transaction fees.
Key features
- Custom event pages
- Branded ticket pages that follow the look of the organizer's own website.
- Entry scanning app
- A free entry manager app scans tickets on standard smartphones; the site says device hire is available at extra cost.
- Booking fee options
- The fee can be shown to buyers or deducted from ticket revenue instead; card processing costs are covered by it.
- Live reports
- Sales reports and insights are available while an event is on sale.
- Paid onsite services
- Box office and entry staff, contact-centre help, physical ticket production and turnstile integration are quoted separately.
- Payout after the event
- By default funds are paid the business day after the organizer approves the final sales report; Stripe payments can release money earlier.
