The model
A flat subscription instead of a cut of every ticket
Most ticketing companies take a fee on every ticket or a percentage of sales. Tessera doesn't. Venues pay a flat yearly subscription, with no long-term contract, and the ticket and service fees you charge belong to you.
No per-ticket fees. No percentage of sales, either.
Your own payment gateway. Payments go straight to your bank account. We never touch your money.
No lock-in. A yearly subscription without a long-term contract.
