THE TRUTH ABOUT TICKETING FEES (AND THE PLATFORM THAT KEEPS YOURS LOW)
Published Jul 21, 2025
FEES SHOULDN’T KILL THE EXPERIENCE
At Sellout, we believe in making events easier—for fans, organizers, and the venues that bring people together. One of the biggest roadblocks? High ticketing fees. They frustrate guests, shrink attendance, and quietly chip away at your profits.
That’s why we’re proud to offer one of the ticket platforms with the lowest fees out there. Simple. Flat. Fair.
WHY TICKETING FEES ARE A PROBLEM
For fans, high fees feel like a bait-and-switch. They see a $25 ticket, click through—and suddenly, it’s $39.50 after fees. That leads to abandoned purchases, bad experiences, and fewer people through your doors.
For organizers and venues, it’s even worse. Not only are guests frustrated, but big event ticketing platforms often add hidden markups and take a cut from you. That’s money that should go toward your team, your talent, or your next great show—not into someone else’s margins.
HOW SELLOUT KEEPS FEES LOW (AND TRUST HIGH)
Sellout serves as a cheaper alternative to Eventbrite, Ticketmaster, and other platforms. Here’s what sets us apart:
Fair, flat pricing. No percentage surprises. No stacking on fees. Just one clear cost structure that protects your profit and respects your fans.
Transparent checkout. Fans see the full price up front—building trust, not frustration.
Designed for independents. We partner directly with small venues, artists, and promoters. Your success is our success. We’re not here to skim off the top—we’re here to support you.
