Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.6
GPA, above 49 of the 79 other event ticketing platforms we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Ticketebo, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You build the event page and connect Stripe if you want early payout.

Best for UK events with no organiser fees
Money is paid after the event by default, staffing and device hire cost extra, and the listing mentions no seating plans.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | No set-up or monthly fee, with a 4.95% booking fee (75p minimum) on paid orders, normally paid by the buyer. |
| Free plan and trial | B | Free events are free for organisers and buyers, and no plan needs paying for. Only paid orders carry a fee. |
| Features | C | Event pages, a scanning app, live reports and fee options are there, but payout comes after the event and staffing is a paid extra. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You build the event page and connect Stripe if you want early payout. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web with a free scanning app for phones, plus Stripe for early payouts. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Ticketebo is for
- Fits if you run small UK events and want no upfront cost
- Works for charity, club and community events
Who it 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
Good to know
Good for
- UK organizers of small and mid-size events who want no upfront cost
- Charity, club and community events
- Organizers who want to pass the fee to ticket buyers
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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
