It has always been one of those cool organic stories, a fun kind of undercover boss blog became a news service then into the event business. Aircraft Guys, aviation charity event organizer, joins new ticketing platform.
Aircraft Guys now is a serious organizer of events for multiple charities including Angel Flight.
If you’re in the event business, you’re going to need to create tickets and usually levels of tickets.
There are some household names out there along with lots of others in that business. However, when you look at the fine print and the actual costs, there can be big differences. And just as important, how easy are the platforms to use when creating new events.
We’re not going to do a feature, ease of use or price comparison of the platforms but according to Jorge Cappel at Aircraft Guys one really stood out. “We have actually used about 6 of these platforms over the years but recently found that TicketSpice is definitely superior in price, ease of use and features.”
If you’re a small business and new to creating paid event tickets, then one of the most important features is when you get paid. Believe it or not, some platforms won’t pay you till after your event is over.
Obviously, that could be a hardship for a smaller business who may need some of the ticket sale proceeds to pay for the event itself. Not to mention the platform is getting an interest-free loan from your attendees which could be months in advance.
And if you don’t want to use your primary merchant processor, they offer competitively priced credit card processing. The rates are basically the same as Square or Stripe. Having a separate merchant account for your events will make tracking and accounting much easier.

As you can see it’s clean, simple and covers all the bases. Not to mention just minutes to set up a new event.
You’ll need all your corporate and banking information to get approved for the merchant account.
