The question asked, verbatim: best ticketing platforms for event organisers
Brands named, in the order the engine gave
- Ticket Tailor recommended
Ticket Tailor - My default recommendation for most independent organisers.
- Stripe recommended
It charges a flat fee per ticket (~$0.30-$0.85, or 60p+VAT in the UK) rather than a percentage, so on a $50 ticket you pay about $0.85 plus Stripe processing instead of Eventbrite's ~$5.
- Eventbrite recommended
It charges a flat fee per ticket (~$0.30-$0.85, or 60p+VAT in the UK) rather than a percentage, so on a $50 ticket you pay about $0.85 plus Stripe processing instead of Eventbrite's ~$5.
- Tito recommended
Tito - Best for paid conferences and professional events.
- Humanitix recommended
Humanitix - If you're running fundraisers, community events, or just like the ethics: it's a nonprofit that donates 100% of profits to education charities (~$16.5m to date), with competitive fees and extra discounts for registered charities.
- Trustpilot recommended
4.5/5 on Trustpilot across ~474 reviews, with support and ease of use the most-praised parts.
- TicketSpice recommended
TicketSpice - The one I'd pick for attractions, farms, seasonal/haunt events, and anything with timed-entry or recurring sessions.
- Zoho recommended
Zoho Backstage - Zero commission on ticket sales (you pay a subscription instead), and it's full event-management software rather than just a checkout - agenda, speakers, attendee app.

The answer, as recorded
Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest trying them: **1. Ticket Tailor** - My default recommendation for most independent organisers. It charges a flat fee per ticket (~$0.30-$0.85, or 60p+VAT in the UK) rather than a percentage, so on a $50 ticket you pay about $0.85 plus Stripe processing instead of Eventbrite's ~$5. Free events are free up to 5,000 tickets/year. The savings get dramatic as ticket prices rise. ([ticketingfees.co.uk](https://ticketingfees.co.uk/eventbrite-vs-tickettailor/), [eventcloud.io](https://www.eventcloud.io/blog/ticket-tailor-vs-eventbrite-2026)) **2. Eventbrite** - Worth it specifically if you need *discovery*. It's the only one on this list with a real consumer marketplace that will put bums in seats you didn't market to yourself. Fees are the highest of the mainstream options (3.7% + $1.79 per ticket plus 2.9% processing in the US; 6.95% + 59p in the UK), so treat that as a marketing cost. Also the fastest to launch something in an afternoon. ([ticketfairy.com](https://www.ticketfairy.com/us/event-ticketing/eventbrite-vs-ticket-tailor)) **3. Tito** - Best for paid conferences and professional events. 3% per ticket but **capped at €25**, so a £500 conference ticket costs you ~4% rather than the £35+ Eventbrite would take. Free events are free, nonprofits pay 2.5%, no monthly fee. Clean, developer-friendly, well-liked by tech conference organisers. ([ticketfairy.com](https://www.ticketfairy.com/us/event-ticketing/eventbrite-vs-ticket-tailor)) **4. Humanitix** - If you're running fundraisers, community events, or just like the ethics: it's a nonprofit that donates 100% of profits to education charities (~$16.5m to date), with competitive fees and extra discounts for registered charities. 4.5/5 on Trustpilot across ~474 reviews, with support and ease of use the most-praised parts. Weak spot is marketing tooling - email campaigns don't even track opens/clicks. ([trustpilot](https://au.trustpilot.com/review/humanitix.com), [humanitix.com](https://humanitix.com/us/l/free-event-ticketing-platform)) **5. TicketSpice** - The one I'd pick for attractions, farms, seasonal/haunt events, and anything with timed-entry or recurring sessions. Flat per-ticket pricing and strong capacity/session management, which generic platforms handle badly. ([ticketspice.com](https://www.ticketspice.com/blog/10-best-event-ticketing-platforms-for-2026-compared-by-use-case)) **6. Zoho Backstage** - Zero commission on ticket sales (you pay a subscription instead), and it's full event-management software rather than just a checkout - agenda, speakers, attendee app. Good if you're already in the Zoho ecosystem or running recurring corporate events. ([zoho.com](https://www.zoho.com/backstage/event-ticketing-software/best-platforms.html)) **7. Ticketmaster / See Tickets** - Only if you're at the scale where you need venue-system integration, queue management for high-demand onsales, and enterprise contracts. Expect high fees and little flexibility; See Tickets in particular gets criticised on both. ([gomomentus.com](https://gomomentus.com/blog/top-10-ticketing-software-platforms-for-venues-and-events), [ticketsauce.com](https://www.ticketsauce.com/event-ticketing-companies)) **The short version:** if you bring your own audience, use Ticket Tailor (or Tito for high-priced conferences). If you need the platform to find your audience, pay Eventbrite's premium. One caveat on fee figures - published pricing shifts and varies by region, so confirm current rates on each provider's own pricing page before committing.
