What organisers in Edinburgh should compare before choosing a ticketing platform: cost, payouts and the door.
If you put on events in Edinburgh, your ticketing platform decides how much of each ticket reaches you, and when. Edinburgh's calendar peaks every August with its festivals, while year-round gigs and club nights serve a large student population; licensing follows Scottish rules.
