Ticket Tailor is a good, fair-priced, independent ticketing tool — this page isn't trying to talk you out of it. It's for organizers whose event has grown past ticketing alone: a schedule wired to tickets and speakers, vendor and task coordination, the door on the day, and UK/EU VAT done to the letter.
None of this is a knock on Ticket Tailor — it does independent, flat-fee ticketing well. It's a different, wider job: running the whole event, not just the sale.
Move a venue or a time slot and the change cascades: affected sessions move, ticket-holders are told, and the speakers or vendors attached to that slot follow — one decision, not several manual updates across separate tools.
Open calls, speaker contacts, and the documents you need from them live next to the schedule they'll appear on — no separate CFP tool to keep in sync by hand.
The vendors working your event and the tasks that need doing before the door opens live in the same system as the schedule and the tickets — not a separate checklist nobody else can see.
VAT is calculated at the moment of sale, frozen onto every ticket, and invoiced in gap-free, per-jurisdiction sequences — the kind of correctness that's easy to get wrong by hand and expensive to get wrong for real.
You're capable of wiring a ticketing tool to a CFP form to a shared spreadsheet for vendors, and plenty of organizers do exactly that. The real question is whether being the maintenance crew for that stack is how you want to spend the event. A chef who spends the night fixing a cooking robot has stopped cooking — your craft is the event, not the glue between the tools that run it.
Fomomento carries the plumbing: the schedule kept in sync with the people attached to it, UK and EU VAT kept correct as the rules change, and gap-free invoices your accountant and tax office will accept. The control stays yours; the maintenance doesn't.
Both, depending on what you need. If ticketing is genuinely all you want, Ticket Tailor is a good, fairly-priced, independent tool — we're not here to talk you out of it. Fomomento is for organizers whose event has grown past ticketing alone: the schedule, the vendors, the door, and the tax paperwork all need running too.
A schedule that's wired to your tickets and the people attached to it, so a venue or time change cascades to ticket-holders and the vendors on that slot instead of needing separate manual updates. Call-for-papers and speaker coordination live next to that same schedule. Vendor and task management for the team running the day. And UK/EU VAT computed at the moment of sale, frozen on each ticket, with gap-free invoices per jurisdiction.
No. Fomomento uses Stripe Connect, so ticket revenue settles directly into your own connected Stripe account.
No. Fomomento plans in cycles, so you can run one edition inside it and leave the rest of your stack exactly where it is. Try it for a single event, see how it feels, and widen from there.
