TicketSpice
Ticketing for events and attractions at a flat 99¢ per ticket
TicketSpice report card
Good · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 18, 2026
Best for festivals and attractions selling online and at the gate
TicketSpice is built for fairs, festivals, attractions and theatres that sell online and at the gate. It's a flat 99¢ a ticket, 49¢ at the box office, with reserved seating, timed entry, kiosks and weekly payouts before the event. The catch is the extras: email, text messages and a custom domain all cost more on top.
Who TicketSpice is for
- Great if you sell at the gate as well as online and want one system for both
- Handy when you need money before the event, as payouts come weekly
- Good for venues with seating charts or timed entry slots
Who TicketSpice is not for
- Skip it if you only run free events, as free tickets then cost 99¢ each
- Pricey if you want to email and text your buyers, as each is a monthly add-on plus 2¢ a recipient
- Not for you if you want to use your own Stripe account, as that adds 1% + 25¢ a transaction
Why TicketSpice gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyA flat 99¢ a ticket, so 200 tickets at $20 costs $198 a month, plus 2.9% + 30¢ processing that we haven't counted. You pay it unless you pass it on to buyers. Middle of the pack here, and email at $9 a month + 2¢ a recipient and text messages are extra.
- BFree plan and trialNo subscription, setup or support fees, so nothing to pay until you sell. But free events are free only if you also run paid ones, otherwise free tickets cost 99¢ each, and email and text marketing are paid add-ons.
- BFeaturesA drag-and-drop page builder, reserved seating, timed entry, an offline scanning app, a box office with cash drawer reports, iPad kiosks, merch and upgrades, and weekly payouts before the event. It covers the whole job.
- CEase of useNo App Store rating on record. The page builder has conditional logic and custom CSS, which is powerful but means a fair bit of building before you sell.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, iPhone and Android, with Stripe, Authorize.net, NMI, Cybersource and Paya as payment gateways, plus an API and webhooks. No desktop app, which an A needs.

Keep TicketSpice, or make your own?
Keep it
TicketSpice is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 8 of the 11 other event ticketing platforms grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- Selling tickets and checking them at the door.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Stripe, Authorize.net and NMI among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. TicketSpice’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.
