How each platform charges

Eventbrite (US): a service fee of 3.7% + $1.79 per paid ticket, plus a payment processing fee of 2.9% of the order total. Free tickets have no fee. Organizers can pass the service fee to buyers or absorb it. Processing is charged on the whole order, including any fees passed to the buyer, so it is slightly higher than shown above when buyers pay the fees.

Ticket Place: $1 + 3% per paid ticket, and that already includes credit card processing. Free events have no fees. Organizers choose whether buyers or the organizer pay the fee. VIP (featured) events add $0.50 per ticket.

When Eventbrite is the better choice

Eventbrite has a much larger built-in marketplace, apps in many countries and a long list of integrations. If you need worldwide reach or sell in currencies other than US dollars, Eventbrite may suit you better. If you sell to a local audience in the US and want to keep more of every ticket, Ticket Place costs less on every ticket price shown above.
