The numbers for this event type

At a typical £25 concerts ticket, Fatsoma's rate of 5% + 49p per ticket (as published) works out to £1.74 per ticket (7.0% of face value). Across 400 tickets that's £696.00 in booking fees — money that either your fans pay on top or you give up from the door.

For concerts, weigh the platform's genuine discovery against its fee — if your crowd comes from your own channels, the percentage buys software, not audience.

Figures computed from each platform's stated rate (2026-07-26 data review). Where a rate excludes VAT it is shown grossed-up at 20%. Card processing paid to Stripe/PayPal applies similarly on most platforms and is excluded. Quote-only platforms can't be computed — their rates are negotiated.
