A counter showing the estimated ticket revenue that would be taken under a hypothetical 10% promoter commission model, based on Pollstar's 2025 Top 100 worldwide tours gross of $8.9 billion. The primary counter shows commission accrued so far this calendar year. The secondary counter shows commission accrued since this page was opened. Both are mathematical outputs from the disclosed annual model. This is not live ticket transaction data. Scope takes 0% of promoter ticket face value.
10% doesn't sound like much

Source dataset: Pollstar's 2025 Year-End Analysis, which reported $8.9 billion gross for the Top 100 Worldwide Tours and approximately 67 million tickets sold. This is the Top 100 worldwide tours only. It does not represent every ticket sold globally.
Source year: 2025 (published December 2025). Pollstar 2025 Year-End Analysis.
Currency conversion: USD benchmark converted to GBP using a fixed reference exchange rate of 1 USD = 0.79 GBP (approximate 2024-2025 average). This is a fixed rate for the model, not live FX.
Commission assumption: A hypothetical 10% promoter commission is applied to the converted annual gross, giving £703.1 million.
Per-second rate: £703.1 million divided by 31,536,000 (seconds in a 365-day year) gives an illustrative rate of £22.30 per second.
Year-to-date counter: The large counter multiplies the annual commission by the fraction of the current calendar year elapsed. It does not start at zero. It represents commission accrued so far this year under the hypothetical model.
Session counter: The smaller counter multiplies the per-second rate by elapsed time since this page was opened. It starts at £0.00.
Both counters are mathematical outputs from the disclosed annual model. They do not represent actual ticket transactions and do not imply every ticketing platform charges 10%. Scope takes 0% of promoter ticket face value. The fan pays the booking fee, not the promoter.

The fan pays the booking fee
Scope's booking fee is added at checkout. It is not deducted from your ticket revenue. That fee keeps Scope running and covers the ticketing platform around the sale. It does not go up just because you charge more for your ticket. No percentage creep.
- Secure checkout
- Unique QR tickets
- Check-in
- Face-value resale
- Settlement
- Promoter tools
Does Scope take a cut of every ticket I sell?
No. If you sell a £15 ticket, you receive £15. Scope takes 0% of your ticket face value. The booking fee is added to the fan's checkout separately. It is not deducted from your ticket price.
Do you take a percentage of my ticket sales?
No. Scope takes 0% of the ticket face value. You set the ticket price and you receive that amount. The fan pays the booking fee at checkout, not you.
Stuck in a contract with another platform? Read our no-contract ticketing guide.
You keep 100% of the ticket face value. Scope takes 0%. Payouts are tracked against actual Stripe settlement availability, so you are paid based on when your funds genuinely become available, not an arbitrary fixed window.
- Promoter entitlement tracked per event as tickets sell and refunds happen.
- Payout status visible in your promoter dashboard.
- Settlement tracked to Stripe availability.
- Settlement statements generated as a permanent accounting record.
A fan can't make the show? They list their ticket through Scope at face value. No scalping, no screenshot swaps, no promoter admin. Scope handles the listing, the refund to the seller, the new ticket and QR for the buyer, and keeps your capacity correct. The original ticket is invalidated. You stay out of it.
Even when a fan resells an eligible ticket, your economics do not move. Resale changes who holds the ticket, not what you earn.
Read the full face-value ticket resale guide.
With Scope, your ticket price is your money. Set a £15 ticket and you receive £15. Scope takes 0% of your ticket face value. DICE's published UK self-sign-up terms use percentage-based service and transaction fees. The difference is structural, not marginal.

Scope resale
Resale stays at the original face value. The seller cannot raise the price. The buyer gets a new Scope ticket and QR. The original ticket is invalidated. You stay out of the admin.
DICE Waiting List
DICE's published UK self-sign-up terms allow DICE to set the Waiting List Price and retain the difference between the Original Ticket Price and the Waiting List Price unless otherwise agreed.
DICE figures taken from DICE Self Sign-Up Terms and Conditions UK & Ireland (support.dice.fm, last updated 28 April 2026). These are self-sign-up terms and may not reflect negotiated enterprise or venue agreements. Check DICE's current terms before signing anything.
Big Cartel is an ecommerce storefront. It is good at selling things to people who already know you are there. It is not a native ticketing platform. There is no built-in check-in, no QR validation at the door, no face-value resale, no capacity tracking, no settlement statements.
Scope is purpose-built ticketing. The ticket, the QR, the door, the resale, the payout and the settlement are one system. Big Cartel can sell the ticket. Scope manages what happens to it afterwards.
