Ticket Fairy Review: Pricing, Pros, Cons & Alternatives

Overview

Ticket Fairy is an event ticketing and promotion platform that combines ticketing, door management, a website builder, marketing and production planning.^[15] Its pricing model differs from most rivals: organisers can run unlimited events on a free plan with no monthly fee, while buyers pay Ticket Fairy’s ticketing fee on each paid ticket, which includes card processing and the VAT or GST on the fee; organisers can instead include the fee in the ticket price. The company’s own example is a fee of US$5.00 on a US$50 ticket.^[15]

Paid plans add usage of Ticket Fairy’s AI assistant, Fai, equal to the plan price each month, plus the organiser’s own domains and the ability to add the organiser’s own fee on top of Ticket Fairy’s. The plans are Plus at US$20 a month, Pro at US$100 a month (US$85 a month billed yearly) and Business at US$500 a month. On Pro, Ticket Fairy’s ticketing fees after payment processing can reduce the plan bill by up to US$100 a month. Plus can be trialled for 30 days with a card.^[15] Fai drafts campaigns and answers buyers, and organisers can advertise on Google, Spotify, Reddit and ChatGPT.^[15]

Its limitations are a relatively high per-ticket fee in the company’s own example and a usage-based AI model that adds complexity to budgeting.
