Common questions
Which is cheaper: Eventbrite or Lineup? +
Eventbrite charges 6.95% + 59p per ticket. Lineup charges a per-ticket fee. The cheaper option depends on your ticket price, because some platforms weight their fees toward a flat per-ticket charge and others toward a percentage. Neither is free. Tickts is the only UK platform with 0% booking fees on any ticket price.
Can I switch from Eventbrite to Lineup (or vice versa)? +
Yes, organisers switch between platforms all the time. You set up on the new platform, list your event, and drive traffic to the new link. Past events stay where they are. If you're comparing platforms because fees feel high, look at Tickts: you keep 100% of ticket revenue regardless of volume.
Do Eventbrite and Lineup both add fees on top of face value? +
Yes. Both platforms charge booking fees to your attendees in addition to the face value of the ticket. On a £20 ticket, your attendee typically pays £22–£23 at checkout. Tickts charges nothing on top, so attendees pay the face value and you keep it all.
