When setting your ticket price on TicketKart, it’s important to understand how fees work — so you understand exactly what your attendees pay and what you’ll receive.


1. Ticket Price — Your Revenue

This is the base price you set for your ticket. It represents the amount you will receive for each ticket sold.

  • Example: If you set your ticket price at £11.00, this is the exact amount that will be paid out to you per ticket.

2. Buyer Total — What Your Attendees Pay

Buyers pay the ticket price plus applicable platform and payment processing fees. This means your payout remains unaffected.


3. Breakdown of Fees

Fee Type

Rate

Example on £11 Ticket

TicketKart Service Fee

2% of ticket price + £0.40

 £0.62 (2% of £11 = £0.22 + £0.40)

Payment Processing Fee

1.5% of ticket price + £0.20

 £0.37 (1.5% of £11 = £0.165 + £0.20)

Total Buyer Fees

 £0.99

Buyer Total

Ticket Price + Fees

 £11 + £0.99 = £11.99


4. Your Payout

  • Your payout equals the ticket price you set — in this example, £11.00.
  • Fees are paid by the buyer, added on top of the ticket price.
  • This means your earnings are never reduced by fees.

5. Currency Settings

  • You can change your preferred currency in the Finance section of your dashboard at any time before ticket sales begin.
  • Supported currencies include GBP (£), USD ($), EUR (€), and more.
  • Changing currency helps localise pricing for your audience.

6. Why This Pricing Model?

  • It keeps your revenue predictable and transparent.
  • Buyers see the full cost upfront, avoiding surprises at checkout.
  • You get full access to TicketKart’s tools and support with minimal fees.
  • Supports a secure, reliable payment process via Stripe or your connected gateway.

7. Example Scenario

Suppose you’re hosting a workshop with tickets priced at £20:

Description

 Amount (£)

 Ticket Price (Your payout)

  £20.00

 TicketKart Service Fee

  £0.80 (2% of £20 + £0.40)

 Payment Processing Fee

  £0.50 (1.5% of £20 + £0.20)

 Buyer Total

  £21.30

 Your Payout

  £20.00


8. Additional Notes

  • For free events, there are no fees at all — 100% free!. No hidden charges - ever.
  • For paid events, fees are minimal and only applied when tickets are sold.
  • You get full reporting and payment reconciliation inside your dashboard.
