What Ticket Tailor does better
Four points in favour of Ticket Tailor, without qualification.
Cheap fixed fee per ticket
0.60 pounds per ticket sold, from 0.22 pounds with a prepayment, regardless of how expensive the ticket is. For high-priced tickets that is clearly cheaper than a share of revenue.
Very friendly to small organisers
Up to 5,000 free tickets per year with no fee. Anyone mainly collecting registrations and selling little pays next to nothing.
Mature seat reservation
Ticket Tailor offers seat reservation out of one mould. Organisers with seated halls find a ready-made tool for choosing seats there.
Its own check-in app
A free app for the door is part of the offering. Check-in at the entrance works without extra effort.
What is different at Eventwerk
Not a rating, but the difference in the workflow.
No platform fee on the Plus plan
49 euro per month, then no fee on paid tickets. Stripe's fees come on top in either plan.
No credit in advance
At Eventwerk no credit has to be paid in to get a better price. The price is set by the plan, not by a prepayment.
German as the source language
Interface, records and support are in German. For clubs and companies in the German-speaking market that is the shorter route than a foreign-language interface.
The guest list stays with the organiser
The list lives in your own account and can be exported as CSV. It does not appear in a public marketplace.
Moving by CSV and Excel
Ticket Tailor's guest export can be imported into Eventwerk, with a preview before the import. Eventwerk also reads Excel files.
Which route suits whom
The decision depends on whether the fee is per ticket or per revenue and on how high the ticket price is.
Ticket Tailor for expensive tickets in small numbers
Anyone selling few but expensive tickets is cheaper off with the fixed fee per ticket than with a share of revenue. Anyone mainly collecting free registrations pays next to nothing up to 5,000 tickets.
Eventwerk for ongoing sales in German
For clubs, universities and companies in the German-speaking market, German records, German support and a plan without a prepayment matter. Anyone with high revenue is cheaper off with Plus without a platform fee.
Both side by side
An event can be sold through Ticket Tailor while the guest list is kept in Eventwerk. Anyone moving entirely exports the list and imports it with a preview.
