## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-16 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Short answer: it depends almost entirely on what kind of event you run. Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd suggest them.
> 
> ## General-purpose (workshops, conferences, community events)
> 
> **1. Eventbrite** - the default for a reason: huge built-in discovery audience, dead simple setup, free for free events. The catch is fees - roughly 3.7% + ~$1.79/ticket on the entry plan, more on higher tiers, and those come straight off your margin. Worth it mainly if you genuinely need its marketplace traffic to fill seats. If you already have your own audience, you're paying for something you don't need.
> 
> **2. Ticket Tailor** - my top pick for anyone selling to their own list. Flat per-ticket pricing (around $0.26/ticket) or monthly plans from ~$19, no percentage cut. On a $100 ticket that's the difference between ~$0.26 and ~$5.49. Clean, reliable, white-labelled to your brand, strong in the UK. No discovery marketplace - that's the trade.
> 
> **3. Humanitix** - same low-cost logic, but the booking fees go to charity (roughly 2% + payment processing). Big in Australia and NZ. Genuinely good product, and the "our fees fund education projects" line plays well with attendees at com
