SHWDWN vs Fatsoma
Fatsoma is a UK ticketing platform popular with student events and nightlife. It has a fan-facing app with social features, a rep system that drives ~18% more sales, door scanning via Fatsoma Scan, and marketing tools like push notifications and promo codes. But it charges a 10% booking fee (min £1), has no streaming, and no combat sports features. Professional and Enterprise tiers offer branded apps and websites.
