The answer, as recorded
Here's who I'd actually point you to, roughly in the order I'd suggest trying them: **1. Eventbrite** - the default starting point. Huge built-in marketplace (real discovery traffic for public events), works for anything from a 40-person workshop to a festival, and everyone already knows how to buy from it. You pay for that reach: around 3.7% + $1.79 per ticket on Essentials, up to ~6.2% + $1.79 on higher tiers, plus payment processing. Pick it when you want the audience, not the cheapest math. **2. Ticket Tailor** - my pick if you have your own audience and just want cheap, clean ticketing. Flat per-ticket fee (roughly $0.30-$0.85 depending on volume) instead of a percentage, so the savings get dramatic as ticket prices rise. No marketplace, so you drive your own traffic. **3. TicketSpice** - the other low-fee workhorse, about $0.99/ticket. Stronger than Ticket Tailor on complex setups: reserved seating, timed-entry slots, merch add-ons, heavily branded custom checkout. Good for haunted houses, fairs, venues, multi-session events. **4. DICE** - only if you're doing music or curated nightlife. It's app-based and takes a bigger cut (~10%, negotiated), but it actively brings its own fans to your show and has serious anti-scalping/waitlist mechanics. You're buying audience, not software. **5. Luma** - best for free or low-key community events, meetups, dinners, conferences with a tech/startup flavour. Beautiful by default, near-zero setup. 5% on the free plan, 0% on Luma Plus (~$59/mo billed annually), plus Stripe. **6. Humanitix** - same ballpark as the others on fees (~2.1% + $0.99 plus processing) but it's a non-profit that routes 100% of booking-fee profit to children's charities. Genuinely useful if your attendees care, and the product itself is solid rather than charity-grade. **7. Zoho Backstage** - worth a look if you're running conferences and want agenda, speakers, badges, and app all in one, on a flat monthly fee (from ~$99/mo) with no per-ticket commission. **8. Cvent** - enterprise/corporate only. Expensive and heavy, but it's the standard for large-scale corporate events, hotel sourcing, and hybrid meetings. Two things worth knowing: payment processing (~2.9% + $0.30) stacks on top of almost all of these, and most platforms let you pass fees to the buyer - which changes the comparison more than the headline rates do. Fees also shift and vary by country, so confirm on the pricing page before you commit.
