Ticketmaster for meetups
Nominal cover charges to guarantee turnout; fees can cost more than the ticket.
The numbers for this event type
Ticketmaster doesn't publish standard rates — typically 10–15% + order processing on the fan side. For meetups, that means the fee bill on 60 × £5 tickets is whatever your contract says; get it in writing before comparing.
Meetups run on thin, often volunteer, margins — every pound of fee is visible. Fixed-pence fees are the enemy at this price point.
Compared at meetups prices
The market computed on 60 × £5 — a realistic meetups scenario.
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.
