The Eventbrite alternative

$0.35 per ticket, flat. The cheapest event ticketing there is.

Eventbrite takes a percentage of every ticket. Stagetime doesn’t. We charge one flat $0.35 per ticket — no percentage, no listing fees, no monthly minimums — so you keep more on every show, and far more as your prices go up.

Competitor numbers are public US rate cards (Eventbrite Essentials, SeatEngine published flat rate, Brown Paper Tickets standard, Ticketmaster industry average — service fees vary by event).

Math is per-ticket × tickets × shows; we don’t add a monthly bill, per-event fee, or SaaS contract.

Frequently asked questions

Is Stagetime cheaper than Eventbrite?

Yes — dramatically. Stagetime charges a flat $0.35 per ticket with no percentage. On a $25 ticket, Eventbrite’s Essentials tier takes about $2.72 (3.7% + $1.79) — roughly 8× more. The gap only grows as ticket prices rise, because our fee never scales with price.

How much does Stagetime charge to sell tickets?

$0.35 per ticket sold, flat. Reserved seating is the same price (plus $0.02 per seat for the seat-map). No setup fees, no monthly minimums, and open mics are completely free.

Are there any hidden fees?

No. The only add-on is standard Stripe card processing (2.9% + $0.30 per ticket), which every platform pays — and venues can choose to absorb it or pass it to the buyer. There are no listing fees, publishing fees, or monthly charges.

Can I switch from Eventbrite to Stagetime?

Yes. Create your venue, connect Stripe (payouts go straight to your account), and start selling — box office, comps, refunds, transfers, and reserved seating are all included at the same $0.35/ticket.
