01

The numbers for this event type

Ticketmaster doesn't publish standard rates — typically 10–15% + order processing on the fan side. For craft fairs, that means the fee bill on 250 × £5 tickets is whatever your contract says; get it in writing before comparing.

Craft Fairs run on thin, often volunteer, margins — every pound of fee is visible. Fixed-pence fees are the enemy at this price point.
