What Do They Really Cost?
Eventbrite charges 6.95% + 59p per ticket. Here's exactly what that means for your fans at every price point — and how to avoid paying fees entirely.
Eventbrite Fee Breakdown
Eventbrite uses a percentage-plus-fixed fee model. Every ticket sold incurs a charge of 6.95% of the ticket price plus 59p. These fees can be passed to attendees (as a visible booking fee) or absorbed by the organiser.

How Eventbrite Fees Add Up
For a typical event selling 500 tickets at £25 each, Eventbrite's fees total £1,165. That's over a thousand pounds your fans are paying in booking fees — or money coming out of your pocket if you absorb them.
Over a year with 10,000 ticket sales, you're looking at £23,300 in fees going to Eventbrite rather than to you or your fans.

The Verdict
Eventbrite is a solid platform with good features, but their 6.95% + 59p fee structure means your fans pay significantly more than the face value. If you want to give fans the best deal possible, Tickts offers zero booking fees — the price you set is the price your fans pay.
