How Event Ticketing Fees Work
Every event ticketing platform has a pricing model. Most charge a per ticket percentage of the ticket price plus a flat fee on every sale. The more tickets you sell, the more you pay.
Eventbrite charges approximately 3.7% of the ticket price plus $1.79 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. There's no Ticketmaster row in the calculator because Ticketmaster doesn't publish one rate. According to its help center, fees are set event by event
If you're selling your own classes, workshops or gatherings, the comparison that matters is a fee on every ticket against a flat price. Eventually charges a flat subscription and nothing per ticket, and checkout runs through your own Squarespace store. Your payment processor's usual card fee still applies.
Fee Comparison at Different Volumes
Here's what annual platform fees look like at three volume levels, assuming a $45 average ticket price.
How much does Eventbrite cost per ticket?
Eventbrite charges a service fee of 3.7% of the ticket price plus $1.79 per paid ticket, plus a 2.9% payment processing fee per order.
How much does Luma charge?
5% platform fee per ticket on the free plan. Luma Plus ($59/month billed annually) removes the platform fee entirely.
Is there event ticketing without per-ticket fees?
Eventually charges a flat subscription with no per-ticket fees on any plan. Essentials is $19 a month, or $190 a year. Your payment processor still takes its usual card fee on each sale.
Can I use Eventually if I don't have a website?
Eventually is built for platform-based websites like Squarespace - we can help you purchase a domain and website for your business, and even offer full website design services through our sister agency, Week of the Website.
What is the cheapest event ticketing platform?
At moderate to high volumes, Eventually's flat subscription is usually the lowest cost, starting at $190 a year, because it doesn't grow with your ticket sales. Use the calculator above to see the math for your numbers.

How much are Ticketmaster fees? Ticketmaster doesn't publish a single rate. Its service fee is charged per ticket and negotiated event by event between the parties organizing it, including the venue and Ticketmaster. Some events add a facility charge set by the venue, and taxes and an optional delivery fee can apply on top. Since May 2025, US ticket sellers have to show the total price, fees included, before you buy.
