Sell Tickets for Less Than Eventbrite: How SmartScale Events Pricing Works

SmartScale Events is free to create on, and your buyers pay less than they would on Eventbrite. Here is exactly how pricing works.

What it costs

  • Free events are free. No fees at all.
  • Paid tickets: one service fee of 3.5% + $1.59 per ticket (Eventbrite charges 3.7% + $1.79).
  • No setup fee and no monthly fee.

You choose who pays the fee

For each event you pick: pass the fee to buyers (you keep your full ticket price) or cover it yourself (buyers pay exactly your ticket price). Buyers always see the full price up front, before checkout.

What a buyer pays

  • $15 ticket: $17.62 on SmartScale Events vs $17.85 on Eventbrite
  • $25 ticket: $28.27 vs $28.52
  • $50 ticket: $54.89 vs $55.20
  • $100 ticket: $108.14 vs $108.55

Get paid fast

Ticket money goes straight to your own payout account and on to your bank, usually about 2 business days after each sale. You do not wait until after your event.
