About TicketSource+

TicketSource is a UK ticketing platform for theatres, community groups and charities. It is free for organisers, with a booking fee added to the buyer's ticket price (which you can choose to absorb). Free events carry no fees, and registered charities get a discounted booking fee.

Pricing: From search results only: a booking fee of around 7% including VAT (minimum 25p) is normally passed to the buyer, with a lower rate if you use your own Stripe account. No fees for free events or in-person bookings recorded in the dashboard. Registered charities get a discounted booking fee when they supply their registration number. These figures were not confirmed on the vendor's own pricing page.
