## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-06 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd suggest them:
> 
> **1. Eventbrite** - the default starting point, mainly because of discovery. It's the biggest self-service marketplace, so some of your ticket sales come from people browsing the platform rather than from your own marketing. Good for workshops, community events, conferences, small-to-mid festivals. The catch is the fee: roughly **3.7% + $1.79** per paid ticket on Essentials, up to **6.2% + $1.79** on Professional. Free events are free to list. If you already have an audience, you're paying a lot for discovery you don't need.
> 
> **2. Ticket Tailor** - what I'd recommend to most organisers who have their own audience. Flat per-ticket pricing (about **$0.26/ticket**, or monthly plans from ~$19) with no percentage cut, so on a $50 ticket you pay ~$0.26 versus Eventbrite's ~$3.64. You connect your own Stripe/PayPal, so money lands in your account directly rather than being held until after the event. No marketplace though - you bring the traffic.
> 
> **3. Humanitix** - effectively free for the organiser; the booking fee sits with the attendee (~**5% + $1.29** in the US, **3.9% + $1.29** for nonprofits and schools) and 100%
