Enough is enough.
You're getting robbed. Every single time you sell a ticket through Eventbrite, Luma, or Fatsoma, they're picking your pocket. And you're letting them.
Here's the brutal truth: These platforms are stealing 8-10% of YOUR money. That's not a service fee. That's daylight robbery.
The Maths Don't Lie
Let's say you sell 1,000 tickets at £50 each. That's £50,000.
- Eventbrite takes: £4,500-£5,000
- Fatsoma grabs: £4,500
- Luma snatches: £3,500-£5,000
- Presso takes: £625
You just saved £4,000. Per event. That's real money in your pocket.
They're Not Just Taking Your Money
They're stealing your audience too.
Every time someone buys through their platform, they're building THEIR email list. You're driving traffic to THEIR website. You're making THEIR brand stronger.
You do the work. They get the customers. How is that fair?
Payment Links Change Everything
Forget their fancy platforms. You don't need them.
Drop a Presso link anywhere. Email it. Post it. QR code it. Text it to your mates.
- No redirects to someone else's site
- No ugly branding covering your event
- No waiting weeks for your own money
- Just clean, simple ticket sales
Multi-Currency Without the Drama
Selling in London? Use GBP. Copenhagen event? DKK works fine. Berlin gig? EUR sorted.
Try doing that smoothly on the big platforms. Good luck.
Your Audience, Your Rules
Here's what really winds us up: These platforms sell you the myth of "audience reach."
Rubbish.
YOU bring the audience. YOU do the marketing. YOU create the buzz.
They just sit there taking a cut whilst you do all the graft.
With Presso, every sale builds YOUR database. Every customer stays yours. Forever.

The Bottom Line
Traditional platforms are parasites. They feed off your hard work.
Presso gives you the tools. You keep the money. You own the audience.
For UK and EU organisers who actually care about profit margins, this isn't even a choice.
Stop feeding the giants. Start feeding yourself.
