Run the numbers on your next event: capacity, ticket price, your fee, the buyer's booking fee and the date you need the money (artists, sound, security). A low percentage doesn't help much if the payout only lands weeks after the event. Mandatory fees have to be in the first price buyers see.
Tickean charges organisers 0 per cent. Buyers pay 4.50% + £0.46 per paid ticket, card processing included, and VAT is included in the price.
