Why Event Organizers Switch

5 Reasons to Choose SwarmTix Over Ticketmaster

Ticketmaster works for stadiums and arenas. For everything else, there's a better way.

Outrageous Service Fees

Ticketmaster fees can reach 20-30% of ticket price. On a $100 ticket, your fans might pay $25+ in fees. SwarmTix charges just $2.49.

Locked Into Their Ecosystem

Ticketmaster requires exclusive contracts and controls your customer data. With SwarmTix, you own your audience and can export data anytime.

Slow Payouts

Ticketmaster holds your money for weeks or even until after your event. SwarmTix connects to your Stripe - get paid instantly.

Impossible Customer Service

Good luck reaching Ticketmaster support. SwarmTix offers real human support with response times under 2 hours.

Minimum Requirements

Ticketmaster has high minimums and long contracts. SwarmTix has no minimums - host a 50-person workshop or a 5,000-person concert.

No Virtual Event Support

Ticketmaster is built for in-person events. SwarmTix has native Zoom, YouTube, and Vimeo integration for virtual and hybrid events.
