When you use BookTix, you not only have one of the lowest fees in the market, but the option to use our Flex Fee however works best for your organization. We won’t tell you how to charge your customers, instead you’ll decide if you want to absorb the fee, pass the fee onto your customers, or even add on an optional fee like a facility fee. BookTix offers flexibility in fees so they work best for you, not for your ticketing provider.
While GoFan has options for customer support, they don’t even offer phone support, forcing you to work around their limited contact methods. BookTix is always available how and when you need us.
