## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-14 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd actually rank these, depending on what kind of event you're running. One caveat up front: almost all the "best ticketing platform 2026" listicles are written by ticketing vendors about themselves, so treat fee claims below as a starting point and confirm on the provider's own pricing page before you commit.
> 
> **1. Ticket Tailor - my default recommendation for most independent organisers.** Flat per-ticket fee rather than a percentage: roughly $0.85/ticket pay-as-you-sell, dropping to about $0.30 if you prepay credits, and free for most free events. You take payments through your own Stripe/PayPal/Square account, so you pay processing (~2.9% + $0.30) and hold the money and the customer data yourself. On a $75 ticket that's about 1.2% versus Eventbrite's effective 8-9%.

> 
> **2. Eventbrite - if you need discovery, not just checkout.** It's the only one on this list with a genuine consumer marketplace that will sell tickets for you to people who've never heard of your event. You pay for that: about 3.7% + $1.79 se
