## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-18 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## My actual picks, in order
> 
> **1. Eventbrite** - the default for a reason: biggest consumer marketplace, so some ticket sales come *from* the platform's own discovery, not just your promotion. Setup takes minutes, the check-in app is solid, free events cost nothing. The catch is price: 3.7% + $1.79/ticket on Essentials, 6.2% + $1.79 on Professional, which on a $50 ticket is roughly $5.40 all-in. Pick it when you need reach more than you need margin.
> 
> **2. Ticket Tailor** - what I'd recommend to most small-to-mid organisers who already have their own audience. Flat per-ticket pricing (from about £0.60 pay-as-you-go, down to ~£0.22 with pre-paid credits) instead of a percentage, so roughly $2.05-2.60 on that same $50 ticket. No marketplace discovery, you keep your own branding and customer data, and you pay Stripe/PayPal directly. Cheapest sane option for recurring events.
> 
> **3. Humanitix** - 2.1% + $0.99 plus processing, and it's a genuine not-for-profit that routes 100% of booking-fee profit to children's charities. Discounted further for schools and nonprofits. Strongest in Australia/NZ but works well in the UK/US. If your audience would respond to "the booking fee funds charity,
