SHWDWN vs Ticket Tailor

Ticket Tailor

Ticket Tailor is the budget option, and a capable one for what it does: a flat per-ticket fee, no monthly cost, a bespoke seating-chart builder, built-in buyer emails, and a free check-in app that also handles door sales. What it is not is a combat sports platform. There's no PPV or live streaming, no fight card, no fighter portal, attribution or payouts, no fan-facing app, and no discovery marketplace — so every sale is one you drive yourself. If you need a cheap, general-purpose box office it does the job well; if you run fight nights, the entire combat sports half of the problem is unsolved.

What Ticket Tailor doesn't do

  • No combat sports affiliation or credibility — built for general events
  • No PPV or live streaming — pure ticketing only
  • No event discovery or marketplace — zero inbound traffic, you drive every sale yourself
  • No fight card, fighter portal, or any combat sports features
  • No fighter attribution or payout splitting
  • No fan-facing mobile app — the app is for staff check-in and door sales
  • Customer tooling is buyer emails and third-party integrations rather than a native CRM
  • No interest forms or fighter recruitment tools

Who is Ticket Tailor for?

Community events, charity fundraisers, theatres and general-admission shows — organisers who want a cheap, capable box office without combat sports features

If you need more than just ticketing — PPV streaming, checkout upsells for merch and parking, fighter management, customer retention, and a dedicated app for your fans — SHWDWN is built for that, at shows of any size.
