Eventbrite** - the default for most organisers, and the reason is discovery, not software. It's the one platform where people browsing for something to do might find your event unprompted (marketplace reach cited at ~89M monthly users). Fees are the highest of the mainstream options - roughly 3.7% + ~$1.79 per paid ticket plus ~2.9% processing - so it's best when you need the audience, worst when you already have one. ([Ticket Fairy comparison](https://www.ticketfairy.com/event-ticketing/eventbrite-vs-ticket-tailor.md))\n\n**2. Ticket Tailor** - my pick if you already have your own audience and just need a clean box office. Flat per-ticket credit pricing instead of a percentage, so your fee doesn't scale with ticket price; every feature is on every plan (seating charts, promo codes, check-in app, reporting). Reported per-ticket figures ranged from ~$0.30 (bulk) to ~$0.85 (pay-as-you-sell) across sources, so confirm on their site. ([Ticket Tailor pricing roundup](https://getpulsesignal.com/pricing/tickettailor), [Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/p/112510/Ticket-Tailor/pricing/))\n\n**3. Humanitix** - same low-", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
