Frequently asked questions

Are these tools really free?

Yes. Every tool on this page is free to use with no signup. We offer an optional email capture that sends your result plus a short playbook — purely opt-in.

Do I need a Ticket Fairy account?

No. The tools run client-side and don't require an account. If you're already running events, connecting a Ticket Fairy account lets our Intelligence dashboards benchmark the same way these tools do, but against your own live event data.

How accurate are the benchmarks?

The benchmarks are directional — derived from aggregate industry patterns and published data. They're accurate enough for budgeting, first-pass planning and supplier conversations. For a specific event, your own history beats any external benchmark.

Can I embed these tools on my own site?

Yes. Every tool has an embeddable iframe version at /tools/embed/{slug}. Use the "Get embed code" button on any tool page to copy a ready-made snippet.

How often are the benchmarks updated?

Benchmark data is reviewed quarterly. Fee structures for ticketing platforms are reviewed monthly, because they change more frequently. Each tool shows its last-updated date at the page footer.

Who are these tools built for?

Event organizers (concerts, conferences, clubs, tours), festival producers (multi-day music and arts events) and venue owners. Each tool is tagged with the audience it best fits.
