TiketCaribbean vs Island E-Tickets

An event ticketing site and calendar for mostly Trinidad and Tobago events, from fetes and boat rides to concerts and Carnival, run by Digital Tickets LLC of Miami Beach.

In short

If you need your money in a Trinidad and Tobago bank account today, Island E-Tickets can do that and we cannot yet. On fees, we charge organisers far less.
