The RA tickets alternative with no booking fee
On RA, the fee is paid by your guests, added on top or built into the price. On Partache there is no fee to add: guests pay your price.
Partache vs Resident Advisor
The differences that affect your payout and your guests. Where Resident Advisor has the edge, we say so below.
| Partache | Resident Advisor | |
|---|---|---|
| Fee on paid tickets | No platform fee and no booking fee | A booking fee on top of the price, or a service fee inside it, paid by the buyer |
| Example | A £7.50 ticket costs the guest £7.50 | RA's own example: a £7.50 ticket costs the guest £8.50 or £8.75 |
| Card processing | Stripe: 1.5% + 20p per payment (standard UK cards), from your payout | Covered by RA's fee |
| VAT | None from Partache | Promoters pay VAT on RA's service fees |
| Discovery | Events by city, followers, and friends seeing who's going | RA's electronic music listings and editorial |
Which one fits you
Partache is a good fit if…
You run nights where people come through friends and word of mouth, and you want to keep the whole ticket price.
- You run club nights, gigs, supper clubs, workshops or community events
- You want guests to pay the price on your poster, with no booking fee
- You'd rather the money went straight into your own Stripe account
- You want approvals, forms, waitlists and members-only events built in
Resident Advisor may suit you better if…
Some events need what another platform does best, and that's fine.

How much does Resident Advisor charge for tickets?
RA charges its fee to the customer, either as a booking fee added on top of the ticket price or as a service fee included in it. RA's own example is a £7.50 ticket costing the buyer £8.50 (service fee) or £8.75 (booking fee). RA doesn't publish a single rate.
Is there an alternative to RA tickets without booking fees?
Yes. On Partache there is no booking fee and no platform fee: guests pay the ticket price you set, and you pay Stripe's card fee of 1.5% + 20p per payment on standard UK cards.
Can I list on RA and sell on Partache?
Many promoters list their night on several guides. You can link any listing to your Partache event page, or embed Partache's checkout on your own website.
Is Partache affiliated with Resident Advisor?
No. Partache is an independent company. Resident Advisor and RA are trademarks of their owner and are named here only to compare the two services.
