Eventbrite's Ticketing Fees

Eventbrite charges a Ticketing Fee for every paid ticket and add-on you sell. The Ticketing Fee consists of a Service fee and a Payment processing fee where applicable. If your tickets are free, you and your ticket-buyers don't pay any Ticketing Fees. The Ticketing Fees vary per country and currency. You can view your Ticketing Fees in your Organization settings

Choose who pays the Ticketing Fees

By default, Ticketing Fees are paid by your ticket-buyers. However, when you create a paid ticket type, you can choose who will pay the Ticketing Fees. 

  • Absorb fees: Check the box next to “Absorb fees” if you want the fees to be included in the ticket price you set. Fees will be deducted from your sales at the time of your payout.

  • Pass fees on: Leave the box next to “Absorb fees” unchecked if you want attendees to pay the fees on top of the ticket price you set. Fees will be collected off the top of your ticket sales at the time of your payout.

You can change this setting at any time, but the new fee setting will only apply to future orders.

Ticketing Fees per country

Your bank must be located in the payout country you choose. You can't change your payout country and currency when sales are pending or after tickets have been sold.

If you host large or complex events with paid tickets, Eventbrite offers tailored packages for your unique needs. Contact Sales Partnerships to learn more.

Confirm your Ticketing Fees

To check your pricing, go to your Organization settings. For a breakdown of your Ticketing Fees on an event you've already created:

  1. Go to Events and select your event.

  2. Go to Tickets.

  3. Select or create a paid ticket type.

  4. Select How fees work.

This breakdown will show you the Ticketing Fee total, including any taxes and your ticket revenue.

TIP: Service fees are calculated using the ticket price. Payment processing fees are calculated using the total order (including service fees and tax).

Organizer Fees

Organizers in certain countries might see additional fees to publish events with more than 25 tickets. These fees include access to Eventbrite's suite of marketing tools. To check if this applies to you, review Eventbrite's new pricing plans.

At the door fees

To sell tickets onsite using the Eventbrite Organizer app, your event's currency must be CAD, GBP, or USD. You can choose to pass on or absorb the Service fee, but the Payment processing fee is automatically absorbed and deducted from your payout. The Payment processing fee only applies to credit card sales sold through the Organizer app.
