For groups that run a lot
LocalArenaPremium
Everything needed to run your group stays free — premium removes the toil. One subscription covers the whole group: £10 a month, cancel anytime.
Upgrade your groupWhat premium adds
Card processing at cost
Premium groups pay Stripe's UK base rate (1.5% + 20p) instead of the standard 3% + 20p — and LocalArena takes nothing on membership and session payments.
Rota auto-assign
Open rota slots fill themselves from your volunteer pool. Less chasing, more playing.
Tactics playbook
Draw, save and share plays on the session tactics board — build your group's playbook over the season.
Automated finances
Payments collected through LocalArena appear in your group ledger automatically, reconciled against your manual entries.
Premium also raises the generous ceilings on teams and scheduled events for very large groups. If your group's premium lapses, nothing you've set up is lost — premium features simply pause until it returns.
Card processing at cost
Premium groups pay card processing at Stripe's UK base rate — LocalArena takes nothing on top. Here's exactly what your group pays on each plan:
| When players pay for… | Free plan | Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Session payments | 3% + 20p | 1.5% + 20p |
| Membership fees | 2% + 3% + 20p | 1.5% + 20p |
| Tournament entries | 50p/entrant + 3% + 20p | 50p/entrant + 1.5% + 20p |
| Pay on the day | Free | Free |
Rates apply to new payments from the moment your plan changes — never retroactively. The at-cost rate is Stripe's UK consumer base rate; LocalArena absorbs the difference on international and commercial cards for premium groups.
Upgrade your group
Find your group, then check out securely with Stripe — card or Direct Debit. Anyone can upgrade a group; you don't need to be the organiser.
Already premium? Manage your subscription — payment method, invoices, or cancellation — via the billing link in your Stripe receipt email.
Subscriptions renew monthly and can be cancelled anytime; your group keeps premium until the end of the paid period.
