Looking for a Ticket Tailor Alternative? Why Sailia is the Best Choice
Ticket Tailor has earned its reputation by keeping ticketing simple and inexpensive, with a low flat fee per ticket and a clean, no-fuss checkout. For an organiser who just needs to sell tickets and keep costs down, it does that job neatly.
Sailia is for organisers who need a little more once the tickets are sold. It handles ticketing simply too, including bulk and high-volume sales through a checkout built to convert, and it brings the things you would otherwise reach for separate tools to do: a CRM, built-in email and marketing, memberships, scheduling and reporting. Even the simple act of selling tickets and then emailing the people who bought them is one connected flow in Sailia, rather than a ticketing tool plus a mailing tool with your data split between them.

Simple ticketing, done well
Sailia keeps the easy things easy. You can publish an event and start selling in minutes, handle bulk and high-volume sales, scan tickets and manage capacity on the door, and keep your attendee data as your own. If straightforward ticketing is all you need today, Sailia does it cleanly, with a checkout built to convert so more of your traffic completes the purchase.
More than a ticket, when you need it
The difference shows the moment your event becomes more than a one-off sale. Following up with attendees, building a list, selling memberships or season passes, running a series or a course, scheduling the staff who run it. With Ticket Tailor those tend to mean adding more tools. With Sailia they are already in the platform, working off the same attendee data, so there is nothing to export and nothing to reconcile.
One platform that grows with you
Start with simple ticketing today. When you want to email your audience, sell passes, run a recurring series or open a second event, it is all there on the same platform, with a modern API underneath if you want to connect your own systems. No second tool to buy, no migration later.
Support is fast and human, available via in-app chat and phone during your working day. As Freddie Cardew-Smith puts it:
"Unlike other software companies, they always find a way to help."
The bottom line
Ticket Tailor is a great, low-cost way to sell tickets. If you want the ticketing plus a CRM, marketing, memberships and scheduling in one place, without stitching tools together, Sailia is worth a look. We would be glad to show you around.
