Calendar-Based Ticketing: The Difference Between TicketSignup and TicketSpice

TicketSignup’s patent-pending Calendar-Based Timed Entry is Calendar-Native. That means everything (every ticket, time slot, and price point) is built on a real calendar. This means your backend always looks like your front-end, and it’s easy to make changes based on day, date, time slot, or ticket type. Calendar-Based ticketing means easier setup and management, and intuitive, actionable reporting.

By contrast, because TicketSpice is not built on a calendar, timed entry requires a series of manual actions to customize your event details, and lacks real-time “heat map” style data.


Sales Tax Compliance

With thousands of jurisdictions, sales tax is infinitely complex. While TicketSpice leaves you to figure that out for yourself, TicketSignup handles every step of sales tax compliance. Stress free.

We Calculate Sales Tax

Powered by a direct integration with Avalara, we automatically check real-time rules across thousands of jurisdictions to determine the exact taxability of your specific tickets, merchandise, and location.

We Collect Sales Tax

We seamlessly add the exact, accurate sales tax to the buyer’s checkout total. No guesswork. No hidden “extra fees” disguised as tax that put you at risk of non-compliance.

We Remit Sales Tax

You never have to write a check to the state again. In marketplace states, we automatically file and remit the collected sales tax directly to the applicable jurisdictions on your behalf.

We Report Sales Tax

Summary and detailed line-item sales tax reports are easy to view, filter, and export whenever you need them.

TicketSignup’s 100% US-Based Support Team

TicketSignup is designed to be self-serve so you have full control over your event. But that doesn’t mean we aren’t here to help: our 100% US-based support team is available seven days a week to answer your questions, ensure you get setup, and help you optimize your event for success.


Promote Your Event (It’s Free)

Unlimited Email Icon

Unlimited Email

At TicketSpice, email is available – but you’ll pay for it ($0.02 per recipient + $9/month for automation). TicketSignup email is free and unlimited — because proactive email marketing is crucial for event success (and shouldn’t require consulting the budget).

Unlimited contacts, unlimited sends, and automated emails included.

Customized Event Website Icon

Customized Event Website

TicketSpice gives events a simple event page. While it can be customized for your branding, you’ll need another website for more complete content. TicketSignup provides a free event website with a built-in website builder — add pages, create menus, customize fonts and colors, make edits, and use your own domain.

Unlimited website pages. Your event brand.

Customers Love TicketSignup

“TicketSignup gave us the haunt ticketing software we needed. Calendar-based ticketing, Virtual Queuing, and the Ticket App worked together so smoothly that it transformed how we ran every night.”

Nik, The Haunted Forest

“I love the automated emails, I used them to automatically send out an email 2 hours after someone buys tickets as well as schedule a pre-event email to send before the event.”

Liz, Downtown Statesville

“The point of having a good ticketing system is to be seamless and connected to them throughout the whole event cycle. It was important to us that our branding be highly professional, including our website and emails. TicketSignup makes ticketing simpler so we can focus on delivering the best possible experience to as many people as possible.”

Andy, Haunted Stage Stop

“The support team is fantastic. They’re readily available and solve issues quickly. It’s a level of service that gives us a lot of confidence on event days.”

Donna, The National Botanic Garden

“TicketSignup support was amazing. We’re a small team, and James made this so much better for us. He helped with every step of getting things setup and was proactive throughout the process.”

Jill, Grand Targhee Resort

“As a non-profit, RunSignup and TicketSignup has been a wonderful tool for us to use at our events. It’s user friendly and is easy for our volunteers to learn and utilize on event day. This allows us to focus on building connections with our guests/participants and sharing the impact that these events have on the zoo.”

Stacy, Miller Park Zoo

“I’m super happy with TicketSignup overall. I looked into other waiver possibilities and I decided to go back to this one because it seemed like the easiest, most effective platform. I’m going to choose this again next year.”

Taylor, Indian Springs Ranch

“I would highly recommend TicketSignup. If a colleague asked, ‘I’m starting a business—what platform should I use for registration?’ you’d be the first company I would share.”

Julie, Ripple of Light Bereavement Resource Center
