Why thousands of event organisers choose Skiddle

Skiddle
From festivals, live music showcases, and club events to family attractions, immersive experiences and more, Skiddle combines industry-leading ticketing tech with targeted marketing and hands-on support from a UK-based team to ensure your events run smoothly and profitably.
Every event benefits from exposure across the UK’s most comprehensive What’s On guide, while our Skiddle app, email marketing services, social media channels, and personalised event recommendations help to spread the word further.
Other Ticketing Platforms
Most other ticketing platforms provide event organisers with the bare essentials: the ability to create an event, manage their customers and sell tickets.
While these rudimentary tools help drive sales, many of our competitors rely heavily on organisers generating demand through their own advertising, social media and existing mailing lists.
Without a dedicated audience of event enthusiasts to tap into or specialist event support, growing attendance often depends entirely on your own marketing efforts.
