Everything else on this site

Features: Guest checkout, tickets by email, check-in that keeps working when the signal drops, volunteers, deposits and door sales. Every feature on every event.
Pricing: Free for founding organisers while we’re starting out, with every feature, and for a year, 12 events or 1,000 tickets after our fee starts. Then 2.5% an order, never more than £2.50.
About us: Ticket Folk was built to sell tickets for one fair in a Somerset field. Every awkward Saturday there shaped what it does today.
Our story: From school movie nights to Somerset fairs: who built Ticket Folk, and why it’s made for people with old phones and gates with one bar of signal.
Security and privacy: No card numbers, no passwords to leak, no tracking. How Ticket Folk looks after your buyers’ details.
How tickets work: Bought a ticket through Ticket Folk? How you pay, where your tickets arrive, what to show at the gate, and who to ask.
Fee calculator: Put in your tickets and price. See every fee, what you keep, and what the same sales would cost on other UK ticketing platforms.
Check-in at the gate: Your crew scan tickets on their own phones, even with one bar of signal. Spot a second scan, find someone from a name or the first letters of their three words, and sell on the door.
Write to Ed: A note to Ed, who builds Ticket Folk. Tell him about your event and he’ll write back himself.
Ticketing for volunteer-run events: When everyone running the event has a day job, the ticketing has to look after itself.
Volunteers, traders and workshops for free events: No tickets to sell? Take applications from volunteers, stallholders and workshop leaders in one place. Free.
