Our take

Rather than simply selling tickets to individual customers, Fatsoma's social ticketing model is targeted towards event organisers. This allows organisers to build a community and have more control over the events that are advertised to their customers through push notifications and emails whilst reducing their marketing costs.

With over 15,000 event promoters and organisers using the platform to market events to more than 6 million people across the UK, Fatsoma has good coverage across the student and Gen Z ticketing market for nightlife, live music and festivals.
