Eventbrite** - the default first recommendation for most organisers, because it's the only one that brings you buyers. Its marketplace and email list surface your event to people who weren't looking for it, which matters enormously for a first-time or public-facing event. You pay for that reach: roughly 3.7% + $1.79 per ticket plus ~2.9% processing, so ~12% on a $30 ticket. Worth it if discovery is your bottleneck, bad value if you already have the audience.\n\n**2. Ticket Tailor** - what I'd recommend the moment you have your own mailing list or social following. Flat ~$0.85 per ticket (down to ~$0.30 on prepaid credits), free for most free events, and you keep your own branding. On 200 tickets that's roughly $170 vs ~$580 on Eventbrite. No built-in discovery at all - you have to drive the traffic.\n\n**3. DICE** - the one to use for gigs, club nights, and festivals. All-in pricing shown to fans (~13% per ticket, processing included), a genuinely good consumer discovery app with Spotify/Apple Music-based recommendations, and a waitlist system that curbs scalping.
