## The answer, as recorded

> # Best ticketing platforms for event organisers
> 
> The honest answer is that the "best" one depends mostly on whether you need a marketplace to *find* you buyers, or just a cheap, clean box office because you already have an audience. Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **1. Eventbrite** - the default starting point, and the only one on this list with real discovery value: it's a marketplace with a very large monthly buyer base, so listings can pull in attendees you didn't market to. The tradeoff is the highest fees here - roughly 3.7% + $1.79 per paid ticket plus ~2.9% processing. Worth it if you need reach; expensive if you don't.
> 
> **2. Ticket Tailor** - my pick for most small-to-mid organisers who already have their own audience. Flat per-ticket fee (~$0.85, down to ~$0.30 on prepaid credits, free events generally free), no percentage, and payments land directly in your own Stripe/PayPal/Square account. On a $100 ticket that's about $4 vs ~$8.40 on Eventbrite; across 200 tickets the gap runs into the hundreds. No marketplace, though - you bring the traffic.
> 
> **3. TicketSpice** - best when you want the checkout to look like *your* brand and to control who pays the fee. Flexibl
