Simple, transparent pricing.
You pay $0. Fees paid by ticket buyers. You keep 100% of the price you set.
How Pricing Works
Organizers pay nothing. When a ticket sells, a single transparent service fee is shown at checkout and paid by the buyer — covering the platform, payment processing, referral marketing engine, and 24/7 support. Your ticket price goes to you in full via daily Stripe payouts.

Frequently Asked Questions for Event Organizers
Ticket Fees and Pricing
Who pays for your ticket fee?
In most cases, this is paid for by the ticket buyer, but you can optionally choose to absorb it instead. We keep the service fee per ticket reasonable for your ticket buyers, unlike most of the event ticketing industry. The ticket fee percentage depends on your ticket price, and includes the credit card processing fee.
Do you charge for free events?
No, we do not. There is no cost for free events - it's a totally free online event ticketing system. We only charge if you are selling a paid ticket or an NFT token-gated ticket.
Do you charge for issuing guest tickets?
No, there is no charge for issuing guest tickets. These are free tickets and are not subject to any ticket fee.
Payments and Payout of Ticket Revenue
How do event payments work and when do I get my ticket revenue?
If you connect your own Stripe account, you get daily payouts from Stripe directly, getting your exact ticket price / face value into your bank account. You don't pay the Stripe credit card processing fee. It's paid for from the ticket fees that ticket buyers pay. If you choose to use Ticket Fairy payment processing, we pay you 10-15 business days after your event. This is subject to our revenue release policy We also support other payment gateways like RazorPay in India and Xendit in Indonesia.
What makes the payment gateway within your event ticketing software reliable?
We partner with trusted payment gateway providers, such as Stripe, Adyen, Razorpay and Xendit, ensuring your transactions are secure and smooth when you sell tickets. The processing fee for each payment gateway is included in the overall ticket service fee, and does not cut into your ticket face value, unless you choose to absorb it.
Can I sell event tickets at the door?
Yes, we integrate with Stripe Terminal card readers for door sales, with full financial reporting in our dashboard, showing how many onsite ticket sales you had vs online ticket sales.
Account Management and Ticket Buyer Customer Service
Who handles customer service for our ticket buyers?
We will be the first point of contact for your ticket buyers, for all technical support, event enquiries and customer complaints. If we cannot answer their enquiry suitably, we'll get in touch with you for advice.
What other services can you provide other than an online ticketing platform?
We have plenty of options to make the execution of your event as smooth as possible (many of our team are former or current event organizers, with a wealth of event production and event management experience), such as sending a team to larger events to make sure the gates and box office are set up correctly and your staff are trained on Entry Fairy ticket scanning app. Speak to your account manager to discuss exactly what you need from our vast services ecosystem.
