How Event Ticketing Fees Work
Every event ticketing platform has a pricing model. Most charge per ticket — a percentage of the ticket price plus a flat fee on every sale. The more tickets you sell, the more you pay.
Eventbrite charges approximately 6.2% of the ticket price plus $0.79 per ticket. Luma charges 5% on the free plan. Ticket Tailor charges $0.65 per ticket. Eventually charges a flat monthly subscription with no per-ticket fees at any tier.
