## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-11 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The honest answer is that "best" depends almost entirely on what kind of event you're running - a 200-person workshop and a 5,000-capacity festival want completely different tools. Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd suggest looking at them:
> 
> **1. Ticket Tailor** - My default recommendation for most independent organisers. It charges a flat fee per ticket (~£0.60 pay-as-you-go, dropping to ~£0.22 with pre-paid credits) rather than a percentage, plus Stripe/PayPal processing on top. That means your fees don't scale with ticket price, which is a big deal for anything above about £20 a ticket. You keep your own attendee data and get paid directly via your own Stripe account rather than waiting for a payout. On a 100-ticket, £10 event, the comparison works out around £94 in fees versus £128.50 on Eventbrite - and the gap widens fast at higher ticket prices.
> 
> **2. Humanitix** - Same practical quality as the commercial options, but it's a not-for-profit that puts 100% of booking-fee profit into children's education charities, and it offers discounted rates to registered nonprofits. Very strong in Australia/NZ and growing quickly elsewhere (65,000 new hosts in 2025). If
