Ever wished there was less back and forth chaos co-ordinating traders to your event?
Our Event Trading operating System, ETOS was built for exactly that, a platform where traders can connect with event organisers... ETOS powers how organisers find, manage and transact with traders, taking the strain out of event management.
Put it another way, if Eventbrite sells tickets, eBay creates competitive pricing, and Airbnb monetises unused inventory, ETOS does all three for the trading economy behind live events.
"On average, organisers save over four months of administrative time with traders by moving everything online... "
Built to remove the cost, complexity, and chaos from running events. Swallow' ETOS platform makes event planning, participation, and ticketing easy, automated, and affordable.
Born out of our own professional events, we were aware of the pain points and headaches, so we built a platform we wished existed. Swallow Events ETOS is the world’s first fully integrated system combining online ticketing, live auctions, and tender-based trader bookings - all in one place.
ETOS connects organisers with 5,000+ catering traders and 3,000+ retail trade stand operators. So eliminates months of manual administration with payments, contracts, compliance, and health & safety documentation.
ETOS gives you total control without the overheads and tasks from the usual way of working. So you experience better cash flow, less staff and a manageable workstream with higher profitability!
See how simple it is to automatically take payments, manage contracts, compliance, and document-heavy health & safety. Whilst giving you complete automated control over profitability. Whether you’re running a local festival or a large-scale live event, cashflow becomes a breeze and profits soar.

So how does it work exactly?
By Signing up to our platform there are no fees, you simply register for an account which goes through an vetting and approval process.
Why are there no fees?
Like Vinted and other onlines business models, the fees are paid by the buy side. So, in this case by traders who want work work with you, so they pick up the tab. And by registering with us, you have access seamlessly to many more traders whose T&C's, contracts and Health & Safety documentation are all within the platform.
So there is no back and forth engaging with a new supplier. As they are already registered with us, and have all their documents in order.
How does the money flow work?
Organisers retain 100% of their pitch fees and ticketing revenue. Ticket buyers pay a 4% ticket buyer fee. There are no subscription fees for using the platform as an event organiser. Traders pay a percentage fee to use the platform as a marketplace to connect with event organisers. There are 0% processing fees.
So what's the catch?
There is no catch, and we estimate that by using the platform a 40% operational cost and time saving to be within the normal range based on our own experience managing events this season.
