Our Fee Structure
Weโve designed our pricing to be fair for vendors and transparent for buyers.

๐ Vendor Platform Fee: 10%
A simple, flat percentage of each ticket sale deducted from your payout.
Covers hosting, security, ticketing tools, and marketplace visibility. -
๐ณ Payment Processing Fee (Paid by the Buyer)
Stripeโs standard rates (approx. 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction for U.S. customers).
