## Reviews

### "Excellent Service" — 5.0/5

> **Richard** | *24 July 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It was simpler to use and your staff were very helpful. AS it was the first time I had used Ticket Source there were some things I did not understand Every time I rang your staff were very helpful.
> 
> **Cons**: Was not always clear how to pay. Three customers  did not work out how to pay on line. They paid in cash at the event so it was OK.
> 
> This was the first time we have used ticket source. We were very pleased with the service \&amp; will use you again

### "TicketSource, the best event ticketing software" — 5.0/5

> **Ethan** | *16 April 2025* | Performing Arts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love how human TicketSource seems to feel. It really feels like it is run by people who have used other worse ticketing platforms, and have solved almost all other issues that most other ticketing platforms have, like having to buy a subscription. Not to mention, the customer service is unmatched. I sent an email on a Sunday, and got a response very quickly, even though it was a weekend\! Brilliant company.
> 
> **Cons**: It is really quite hard to pinpoint one specific thing about TicketSource that I dislike. It is mainly just small updates that I would like to see to even further improve my experience, for example being able to book seats in house seats in a section that is otherwise fully booked, instead of getting the "section full" message. That being said, these are all minor things and their service is still amazing.
> 
> My experience was near perfect from the point when I set up the event initially, to when we got our final event payment. Support is always helpful, and the interface is easy to use. TicketSource is also brilliant in the way that it can be as simple as you want, or you can go really in-depth and configure your event to exactly how you want it.

### "Great service for multiple event community festivals" — 5.0/5

> **Jonathan** | *10 November 2021* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It improves each time we use it, adding welcome new features. It is complex but logical.
> 
> **Cons**: The public access to a current event shows say X Tickets available. It would help if it said X tickets available out of Y, where Y is the maximum. I encourage my multiple small event organizers to watch their ticket bookings (they dont have access to the back of house) and it gets confusing when they cant remember how many tickets there are for the event but it says say 32 Available or worse still 50+ available.&#10;&#10;Also, when setting up multiple events with the same Ticket Launch Date, why cant we click "All event tickets available from the same date"&#10;&#10;Also when selecting a venue location at the beginning for a new event, why cant we set up a subdirectory of our own regularly used venues rather than scrolling down numerous similar venues across the globe.
> 
> I like the quick answering of the Ticketsource helpline phone by someone in the UK (Wales) who is of course familiar with our language and vernacular. Help lines in the Philippines may be on offer 24/7 but they dont understand the nuances of an issue being discussed.  I am running a multi-event festival it has become very simple to set up the system now.

### "No payout. Frustrated as i havnt been paid." — 2.0/5

> **Lèoni** | *10 April 2024* | Music | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy for people to purchase tickets.&#10;It looks professional.
> 
> **Cons**: No pay out. My details have been registered. Its 2 weks overdue and no payout has been made\!
> 
> Underwhelming as no payout has processed

### "1st Lace Day" — 5.0/5

> **Amanda** | *29 April 2026* | Textiles | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It was my first event using TicketSource.  Help is always available.  There is an option to include the ticket fee in the price of the ticket.  Setting up the event was really easy and having the telephone number for TicketSource to make bookings really helped too.  It was easy to arrange a refund.
> 
> **Cons**: As this is our first time using it, I had nothing to compare it with.  However, some of the options for tick boxes can be a little confusing at time.
> 
> It worked for us as a small group and no-one complained that booking was difficult to achieve.  We have set up our event for next year.
