The numbers for this event type

At a typical £15 sports events ticket, FIXR's rate of 4.99% + 49p + VAT per ticket (3.99% student/charity) works out to £1.49 per ticket (9.9% of face value). Across 500 tickets that's £743.10 in booking fees — money that either your fans pay on top or you give up from the door.

Sports Events sell through clubs and personal networks — the platform rarely brings the buyer, which makes paying discovery-level fees hard to justify.

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.
