Eventbrite is a large, well-known ticketing platform with a big marketplace and a wide set of tools. Some organisers, especially smaller and independent events, want something simpler: one clear fee that buyers see upfront, no fees for the organiser, and a quick set-up. That's what TickTap is built for.

How Eventbrite pricing works
According to Eventbrite's own organiser pricing page, publishing events is free, free events carry no fees, and paid tickets carry a per-ticket service fee and a payment processing fee. By default these fees are paid by ticket buyers, or organisers can choose to cover them. Exact amounts vary by country and currency, so check Eventbrite's UK pricing page for current figures.
