Why move from Resident Advisor to Festejar

  1. 01

    The ticket on their phone from the moment they pay

    Before, with Resident Advisor
    Tickets can’t be downloaded until 24 hours before the party, and the PDF needs the RA account password.[6]
    Now, with Festejar
    It arrives by email at checkout, as a PDF and in the Wallet, with no passwords.
  2. 02

    Tickets with no name to change

    Before, with Resident Advisor
    Tickets are named and non-transferable. The name can be changed up to 24 hours before.[6]
    Now, with Festejar
    The ticket carries no name: at the door, the QR is what counts.
  3. 03

    A discount that lowers the fee too

    Before, with Resident Advisor
    With a discount code, RA’s fee per ticket stays the same: the whole discount comes out of your share.[7]
    Now, with Festejar
    The 4% is worked out on the discounted price.
  4. 04

    Move the start time without asking anyone

    Before, with Resident Advisor
    Every party goes through RA’s approval team. After 3 days, or once tickets have sold, only RA can change the date, time or venue.[12][11]
    Now, with Festejar
    You publish and edit parties from your dashboard, even after tickets have sold.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Resident Advisor charge per ticket?

RA publishes no percentage. Its help centre says the fee is the difference between what the buyer pays and what the promoter receives, and the promoter terms are signed inside RA Pro. Signing up and selling carry no fixed cost.

When does the club get paid with Resident Advisor?

According to its help centre, RA processes payments every Tuesday once the party has taken place, and they land the next day. Advances before the party are for exclusive partners only.

Can I switch from Resident Advisor with parties already on sale?

Yes. Parties already on sale can finish on RA while you publish new ones on your website with Festejar. Nothing has to close on the same day.

RA is the listing for electronic music. Will I lose visibility?

Your regulars look you up by name, follow you on Instagram or buy through a promoter, and all of that can lead to your website. There, each party has its own page, with the structured data Google reads, and every purchase joins the club’s customer list.
