The Tessera Difference
You keep your ticket fees. First, we’re a hosted subscription-based ticketing platform. Unlike traditional ticketing vendors, we don’t lock you into a contract and extract a percentage of your sales — or even a per ticket fee. We simply charge a fair, flat, yearly subscription that adds up to far less than the fees you’re now paying. Any ticket or service fees you charge belong entirely to you.
You keep full control of your monies. We never touch your money. Tessera uses your payment gateway to connect directly to your bank account. You have instant access and full control of all your funds all the time. You’re in the driver’s seat.
You keep your freedom. We don’t require a contract term that locks you in, even when business conditions change.

WordPress Integration
Tessera offers virtually unlimited flexibility in how you present your shows, events, and merchandise through a seamless API integration with your WordPress website. You’re not limited to a handful of lame web page templates that never seem to suit how you want to display your show/event information. Our savvy, experienced developers can realize your site’s design right down to the smallest detail.
Unlimited Brand and Presentation Flexibility
Fully customizable show cards offer a flexible way to promote your shows. Want to display your shows in some other way? No problem. We can accommodate virtually any design.
