    Our transparent pricing model ensures fair costs for both organizers and participants, with no hidden fees.

    For Organizers

    When you set a ticket price, you keep most of it. The platform commission covers platform maintenance, customer support, security, and compliance.

    Example: €50 ticket

    • You set: €50 ticket price
    • You receive: €46.00 (92% of ticket price)
    • Platform commission: €4.00 (8%)

    For Participants

    When participants buy tickets, they pay a small platform fee that covers payment processing, ticket management, QR codes, event updates, and customer support.

    Example: €50 ticket

    • Ticket price: €50.00
    • Platform fee: €3.00 (5% + €0.50)
    • Total paid: €53.00

    Platform Economics

    We absorb Stripe payment processing fees (2.9% + €0.30) from our revenue, ensuring predictable costs for both organizers and participants.

    Bulk Purchases

    Platform fees are calculated per ticket:

    • 1 ticket: €50 + €3 = €53
    • 5 tickets: €250 + €15 = €265 (€3 fee per ticket)

    This ensures fair pricing regardless of order size and maintains consistency across all purchases.
