Kintana vs Ticket Tailor
Beyond an embed widget — one workspace for site, list, mail, and ops.
Ticket Tailor is a popular indie ticketing platform — especially for UK comedy nights, venues, and small promoters — with transparent per-ticket pricing, embeddable box office widgets, seating charts, and payouts through your own Stripe, PayPal, or Square account. Kintana is for teams who want a full branded workspace: block-based marketing sites, CRM tied to every order, and email campaigns without wiring Mailchimp on top of an embed. Both can use Stripe; the fit depends on whether you need a ticket widget or a complete live-events desk.
Often a fit if you are…
- Comedy clubs and promoters who want a proper site and CRM — not only a Ticket Tailor embed on a landing page
- Teams touring across markets who want performer routing and promoter settlement in the same admin
- Venues who need door check-in, mail, and ticket sales under one brand — not separate tools per function

Why teams switch
What changes after migration
Site + checkout + mail, not just a widget
Ticket Tailor embeds cleanly into your site — Kintana gives you the whole page: hero, bio, tour dates, and Stripe checkout that does not depend on a third-party embed script for the core experience.
CRM without Mailchimp glue
Every ticket buyer becomes a contact with show and order context. Segments, drips, and broadcasts run in the same admin — no export to a separate email tool after every on-sale.
Built for the whole stack
Sites, email, analytics, and door tools share one workspace. Promoters see abandoned checkouts; venues see check-ins today; comics see request-a-show demand before routing.
