Ticket Tailor fees in 2026
The best-known flat-fee platform. Pay-as-you-sell costs 60p + VAT per issued ticket (72p including VAT); prepaid credit bundles bring that down to as little as 22p + VAT. Free tickets are free up to 2,000 a year, and assigned-seat tickets use two credits.
The rate, on the record
60p + VAT per ticket PAYG (credits from 22p + VAT) — Verified from Ticket Tailor's pricing page. Widely mis-quoted at '26p per ticket' — that's the old aggregator figure, not the current PAYG rate.

|---|---|---|---|
| £5 | £0.72 | 14.4% | £5.72 |
| £10 | £0.72 | 7.2% | £10.72 |
| £15 | £0.72 | 4.8% | £15.72 |
