## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-21 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest looking at them:
> 
> **1. Eventbrite** - The default for a reason: it's a discovery marketplace, not just a checkout. If you need people who've never heard of you to find your event, nothing else here comes close. The tradeoff is price - ~3.7% + $1.79/ticket on Essentials, rising to ~6.2% + $1.79 on Professional ([comparison](https://www.ticketfairy.com/event-ticketing/eventbrite-vs-dice)). Best for workshops, conferences, community events, anything where reach matters more than margin.
> 
> **2. Ticket Tailor** - My pick if you already have an audience and just need a till. Flat per-ticket pricing instead of a percentage: ~60p/$0.85 pay-as-you-go, down to ~22-30p on prepaid credit packs, free plan up to 5,000 free tickets/year, and every feature on every tier ([pricing](https://www.tickettailor.com/pricing)). On a £50 ticket that's a rounding error versus Eventbrite's cut. You pay Stripe/PayPal separately.
> 
> **3. DICE** - For music: club nights, gigs, electronic, artist-led shows. Mobile-first, fees baked into the advertised price so the price shown is the price paid, and it has genuinely good anti-scalping and waitlist
