FIXR for charity events
Every pound in fees is a pound that visibly didn't reach the cause — supporters notice.
The numbers for this event type
At a typical £20 charity events ticket, FIXR's rate of 4.99% + 49p + VAT per ticket (3.99% student/charity) works out to £1.79 per ticket (8.9% of face value). Across 300 tickets that's £535.68 in booking fees — money that either your fans pay on top or you give up from the door.
Charity Events run on thin, often volunteer, margins — every pound of fee is visible. Fixed-pence fees are the enemy at this price point.
