## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-12 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd actually rank them, with the caveat that a lot of the "best of 2026" listicles out there are published by ticketing vendors ranking themselves first - so I'm leaning on the fee numbers and known positioning rather than those rankings.
> 
> **The general-purpose picks**
> 
> 1. **Ticket Tailor** - my default recommendation for most independent organisers. It charges a flat per-ticket fee (~$0.85 pay-as-you-sell, as low as ~$0.30 on prepaid credits, free for most free events) instead of a percentage, so it gets dramatically cheaper as your ticket price rises. On a $30 ticket it's ~$0.85 vs Eventbrite's ~$2.90; across a couple hundred tickets that's hundreds of dollars. You also keep your own Stripe/PayPal account and your attendee list. 50% off for registered nonprofits. ([fee comparison](https://www.eventcloud.io/blog/ticket-tailor-vs-eventbrite-2026))
> 
> 2. **Eventbrite** - worth the higher fees *only* if you genuinely need the marketplace. It's ~3.7% + $1.79 per ticket plus 2.9% processing, which is the most expensive mainstream option, but it's the one platform where strangers might find your event without you marketing to them. If you already have an audience, you're paying
