About GigEntry

UK ticketing, rebuilt for the people who run the door.

GigEntry is the consumer storefront for a new generation of independent UK ticketing. We exist because the major platforms forgot who they're meant to serve — and because promoters, venues and fans deserve better than a 12% surprise charge.

01 · Direct

Straight from promoters

Every ticket on GigEntry is sold by the promoter or venue running the show. No middlemen, no scalpers, no marked-up resale.

02 · Honest

Fees shown up-front

Booking fee on the ticket page, before you've spent a single second filling out a form. The price you see is the price you pay.

03 · Fair

Resale at face value, never above

Can't make it? List your ticket through GigEntry and someone else gets it for what you paid. Touts get nothing.

The GigEntry Buyer Guarantee.

If your event is cancelled or rescheduled and you can't make the new date, you get a full refund — automatically, no calls to a hotline. If your ticket doesn't scan at the door for any reason that's our fault or the promoter's, you get your money back. That's the deal.

The why.

The UK live scene survives on independent promoters and small-to-mid venues. They take the risk, they book the talent, they sweep the floor at 4am. And then they hand 11–12% of every ticket to a platform built somewhere else, by someone else, for someone else.

GigEntry exists to put that money — and the data, and the customer relationship — back where it belongs. Same tickets, sharper interface, fairer fees. Fans get a cleaner buying experience. Promoters get to keep their door.

We're built and run from Bristol by Showday Tickets LTD (Co. 17168332). One mission: getting fans into events, direct from the promoters who run them — no resale markup, no middlemen.
