Why Studios Switch from TutuTix
Parents pay less. A $20 ticket costs parents $2.00 in TutuTix fees and $1.20 on Stage Stubs. Multiply that across every family.
Mobile tools for staff. Stage Stubs has native iOS and Android apps for live sales, QR scanning, and reporting.
Same concierge support. You still get live phone support plus email and chat, with faster response times because Stage Stubs supports only dance studios.
Real Fee Comparison
Concrete fees based on current schedules from both platforms.
When TutuTix Might Be the Better Fit
TutuTix has a foil-embossed keepsake ticket option that some families love. Stage Stubs focuses on digital delivery, so you would need to print tickets in-house if parents want something physical.
They have a large call center and have supported national dance brands since 2010. If you are running a multi-city tour that relies on mailed tickets, staying with TutuTix can make sense.
Most recital studios still switch because parents care more about lower fees than mailer upgrades, and Stage Stubs matches the rest of the feature list.
