Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd suggest looking at them:\n\n**1. Eventbrite** - the default starting point, and still the one I'd name first for a general public event. You get a genuine discovery marketplace (millions of monthly browsers) on top of the ticketing, which no cheap competitor can replicate. The trade-off is cost: roughly 3.7% + $1.79/ticket on Essentials, rising to 6.2% + $1.79 on Professional, plus a 2% payment-processing cut. You're paying a premium for audience reach - worth it if you need discovery, poor value if your audience already knows you.

Ticket Tailor** - my pick when you have your own audience and just want cheap, clean infrastructure.
