Skiddle can bring discovery traffic. Your margin still depends on fees and when the money lands.
Skiddle is a well-known option for UK organisers (club nights, gigs, festivals). Before you sign anything, a sober comparison is worth the time.

Organiser fee: Per the platform's current published pricing; no fixed percentage quoted here.
Payout: Per contract; no single public rate quoted here.
Also ask about the booking fee buyers pay, the cost of any door-scanning hardware and whether you can export your attendees' data.
Run the numbers on your next event: capacity, ticket price, your fee, the buyer's booking fee and the date you need the money (artists, sound, security). A low percentage doesn't help much if the payout only lands weeks after the event.
Tickean charges organisers 0 per cent; buyers pay a transparent booking fee included in the final price. Payouts go through the payment provider quickly, tickets arrive as QR codes by WhatsApp and email, and you scan the door with a smartphone. For arena tours with a national box-office network, a traditional ticketing company may still make sense.
