Why we don't charge per-ticket fees
Per-ticket fees quietly tax your best nights. Here's the math, and why a flat platform fee is better for attractions that actually sell.

- #ticketing
Most ticketing platforms make money the same way: a fee on every ticket you sell. A buck here, three bucks there. It feels small on one ticket. It is not small across a season.
The math nobody puts on the pricing page
Say you sell 12,000 tickets at a $1.75 service fee. That’s $21,000 — gone — in a single season. Have a great year and sell more? You pay more. The platform’s incentive is literally to take a cut of your success.
A flat platform fee flips that. You pay for the software — setup plus a monthly — and every ticket dollar after that is yours. Sell 12,000 or 120,000, your platform cost doesn’t move.
”But the fee is on the customer”
Sometimes. But a fee is a fee — it raises your effective price, dents conversion, and trains buyers to resent the checkout. When you control pricing on your own Stripe account, you decide whether to add a fee, keep it, or fold it in. It’s your call, not a platform’s default.
What we charge instead
- A one-time setup to build and launch your site and tooling.
- A flat monthly for the platform and the modules you turn on.
- $0 per ticket. Forever.
That’s the whole model. If you’re curious what a season looks like on flat pricing, the savings calculator does the comparison in real time.
