About Eventbrite+
Eventbrite is a widely used ticketing platform where you publish an event page, sell or hand out tickets and check people in with an app. Free events cost nothing to publish. For paid tickets, a service fee and a payment processing fee apply, and by default the buyer pays the service fee. Nonprofits can apply for 50% off the Pro plan, though not the ticket fees.
Pricing: Free events have no ticketing fees. For paid events in the US, a service fee of 3.7% + US$1.79 per ticket plus a 2.9% payment processing fee per order applies. The buyer pays ticket fees by default, or you can absorb them. Fees differ by country and were not confirmed for the UK or Australia here. The optional Pro plan (extra marketing emails and support) is about US$7.50 to US$50 a month depending on contact tier.
