more goes to you instead of to fees every year, with your guests paying no more than they pay on Eventbrite today, before sales tax.
How this is worked out
- On Eventbrite, a $20.00 ticket carries a $3.18 fee (3.7% + $1.79, then 2.9% processing on the total), so your guest pays $23.18.
- Price the same ticket at $21.17 on Vessa. Our fee is $2.01 (5% + $0.95, card processing included), so your guest pays $23.18, the same.
- Your ticket price is $21.17 instead of $20.00: $1.17 more of each ticket goes to you instead of to fees.
- $1.17 × 250 tickets × 12 nights = $3,510 a year, and $10,530 over 3 years.
- Before sales tax. In Texas your guests pay the state sales tax on top of the price and Vessa sends it to the state, because the law makes ticketing marketplaces collect it. Wherever you sell, that tax is owed; on a platform that does not collect it, you pay it yourself.
The figure above is a little under the gap between these bars, because our 5% is charged on the higher price in step 2.
Or keep your price where it is and your guests pay 39% less in fees than on Eventbrite. Same fee either way; you choose which way the difference goes.
An estimate, not a promise. It assumes every ticket sells at this price, your guests pay the platform fee on both, and nothing is refunded or charged back. Before any sales tax. Rates as published by each platform; see the note at the bottom of this page.
