Ticketmaster for hackathons
Often free or nominal entry — you need a platform that charges nothing on free tickets.
The numbers for this event type
Ticketmaster doesn't publish standard rates — typically 10–15% + order processing on the fan side. For hackathons, that means the fee bill on 150 × £10 tickets is whatever your contract says; get it in writing before comparing.
For hackathons, invoicing, VAT receipts and group bookings matter alongside the rate — and percentage fees sting at B2B prices.
