Why Venues Switch from Ticket Tailor to TicketWave
True White-Label Experience
Ticket Tailor lets you change a few colours. TicketWave gives you a fully branded booking page with your custom domain, logo, colours, fonts, and even branded emails. Your customers never see our name.
Built-In Affiliate Programme
Turn your promoters and influencers into a sales force. TicketWave includes a full affiliate system with tiered commissions, tracking, and automated payouts. Ticket Tailor has no equivalent.
Offline QR Scanning That Actually Works
Our scanner app works even without internet, syncing when connection is restored. Perfect for festival fields, underground clubs, and marina docks.
Multi-Language Support
Serve international audiences in their language. TicketWave supports multiple languages out of the box, while Ticket Tailor is limited to English.
Season Passes and Merch
Sell multi-event passes and merchandise directly through your box office. Build year-round revenue beyond individual event tickets.
Transparent, Lower Pricing
No monthly fees on our Starter plan. Commission-only pricing means you only pay when you sell. Ticket Tailor charges monthly fees plus per-ticket fees.
