FREE Beta Invites: Tekiki – Sell Tickets With No Fees
It's a fact that high ticket fees upset fans and discourage them from coming to more live shows. Tekiki is an early stage startup that solves that problem by enabling bands and others to sell tickets with no services charges. The only thing fans pay are PayPal transaction and credit card charges with funds deposited immediately into the artist's account. Tekiki can also serve as a fan club ticketing platform.
Tekiki is also working on releasing a feature similar to Bandpage where people can produce ticketing pages from their Facebook fan pages. "Why give free marketing to a third-party ticketing site when musicians can drive people back to their own Facebook fan pages?" Tekiki founder Clarence Hu told Hypebot.

Does Tekiki display the credit card & PayPal charges to the customer at checkout? If so, then I don’t see the real usefulness to customers. Lots of third-party ticket-selling platforms have very low fees. Brown Paper Tickets only charges $1.
IMHO, the biggest win would be the ability to sell tickets for a flat fee ($10.00 on the dot, for example). Even if fees are baked-in to the price, the consumer feels better about their purchase because they don’t FEEL like they’re getting ripped off. “What you see is what you pay”…that’s a novel and appealing concept in ticketing. Currently, Topspin is the only platform I know of that lets you do this.
