Pricing to Sell Tickets
Eventbrite’s pricing model is generally pay-as-you-go for ticket sales, meaning there are no upfront costs to publish your event. Fees are charged only on paid tickets. For free events, there are no ticketing fees.
Organizers have the option to either pass the fees to the attendee (who pays the fees on top of the ticket price) or absorb the fees (paying them out of the ticket revenue).
The standard fee structure for paid tickets typically consists of two main components: a Service Fee and a Payment Processing Fee.
Standard Ticketing Fees (for U.S. Events)
The standard fee structure when using Eventbrite Payment Processing in the United States is:
| Fee Component | Calculation |
| Service Fee | 3.7% of the ticket price + $1.79 per sold ticket |
| Payment Processing Fee | 2.9% of the total order value |
Example Calculation (for one $50 ticket in the U.S.):
- Service Fee: (3.7% of $50) + $1.79 = $1.85 + $1.79 = $3.64
- Payment Processing Fee: (2.9% of $53.64 total) = $1.55
- Total Eventbrite Fee: $3.64 + $1.55 = $5.19
(Note: Fees vary slightly by country, package chosen, and payment method.)
