FIXR for wine tastings
Small, premium sessions where 7–10% fan fees add £2.50–£3.50 to every glass-in-hand.
The numbers for this event type
At a typical £35 wine tastings ticket, FIXR's rate of 4.99% + 49p + VAT per ticket (3.99% student/charity) works out to £2.68 per ticket (7.7% of face value). Across 60 tickets that's £161.03 in booking fees — money that either your fans pay on top or you give up from the door.
Wine Tastings combine low entry prices with high volume — the fixed-pence part of any fee dominates, so compare that component hardest.
