Fee Comparison
The TicketHost fee structure consists of 2 elements and is transparent and fair for both Ticket Buyers and Event Organisers.
- Host Fee - Our fee for providing the TicketHost service. (1% + $0.60 per ticket)
- Booking Fee - Covers the bank fees and costs that TicketHost incurs in processing online payments.
The Booking Fee varies based on the payment method selected by the ticket buyer.
Credit Card: 0.80%
EFT: No Charge
Offline Methods (cash, cheque): No Charge
TicketHost does not add any margin for profit to any of our Booking Fees.
In contrast, Eventbrite charge the same, higher fee for all payment methods that they offer.
