Free ticketing platforms that stay free
Most platforms don't charge for free tickets — the differences are in the caps, the moment one ticket type becomes paid, and what happens to your attendee data on a 'free' plan.
Free events that stay free
The catch to look for: caps on free tickets, fees that appear the moment one ticket type is paid, and 'free' plans that monetise your attendee data.

Questions people ask
Which ticketing platforms are completely free?
For free events: Tickts, Eventbrite, Humanitix and Ticket Tailor (to 2,000/yr) issue free tickets without fees. For paid events nothing with per-ticket fees is 'free' — Tickts's £0 booking fees is the closest, with card processing at cost.
Do free platforms sell my attendee data?
The reputable UK platforms don't sell it, but marketplace models do market other events to your buyers. Check whether you can export your full list and whether your attendees join the platform's own marketing pool.
Can I take donations on a free event?
Yes — several platforms support optional donations on free tickets. Watch fee treatment: a percentage fee applied to donations shaves the pot (see our donations guide).
