What it costs

Free to run your group. We take 0.25% of whatever you take by card, capped at $4.50 — and nothing at all on a payment under $5, or on money that never goes through a card.

What one ticket actually costs

Everything included, on every row — card processing as well as the platform’s own fee. Our 0.25% sits on top of Stripe; the others quote a single rate that already covers it. Comparing those two numbers directly would flatter us by about four times, so we haven’t.

EventBookings is cheaper than us, and we’ve left it in

By five cents on a $20 ticket and fifteen on a $100 one. A comparison table that quietly dropped the cheaper competitor wouldn’t be a comparison, and you’d be right not to trust the rest of the page if we had.

What we’d say instead is that they sell tickets. Over a six-hundred-ticket season the difference is about forty dollars, and for that you’d still be keeping your register in a spreadsheet, your rehearsal calls on Facebook and your books in a shoebox.
