    On a $20 ticket, fees are about $2.53 plus 2.9% of the order: check that against a flat-fee tool before a large event.

    About

    In practice. What you can do with Eventbrite.

    Eventbrite puts an event on sale in minutes: event page, several ticket types, check-in app and payouts before the event. Free events cost nothing.

    On paid tickets, the model is a fee per ticket: 3.7% + $1.79 in service fees plus 2.9% processing, which you can pass on to buyers. For a French audience, Weezevent is a local option; for flat pricing, compare with a fixed-fee ticketing tool.
