The math on one ticket
What a $25 ticket actually costs you
| Scenario | MrStubs (Basic prepay) | Eventbrite (published) |

| Per-ticket fixed | (included in prepay) | + $1.79 |
| Per-order processing | (passed through transparently) | + 2.9% × $25 = $0.73 |
| Total fees on one $25 ticket | $0.40 | $3.45 |
| Your first 50 tickets | $0 — free, not a typo | ~$172.50 in fees |

Common questions
About switching from Eventbrite
Is MrStubs trying to replace Eventbrite's marketplace?
No. Eventbrite has marketplace discovery. MrStubs is built for organizers who want to own the buyer experience — direct event pages, lower fees, and a PWA with no app download.
Does MrStubs support mobile checkout and QR entry?
Yes. Hosted event pages, mobile checkout, QR tickets, and scanning are all built in. No app download — everything runs in the browser.
Why is the Eventbrite number called a baseline reference?
Eventbrite's pricing can vary by plan, event type, and account setup. We use their public pricing reviewed 2026-05-19 as a fair baseline.
Can I migrate my existing events from Eventbrite to MrStubs?
Yes. Export your buyer list from Eventbrite, import it into MrStubs, and your existing events keep running on Eventbrite until they end while your next event launches on MrStubs. Support walks you through the import at [email protected].
Are there any setup fees?
None. Your first event launches with your first 50 tickets free, no card on file, no upfront commitment. Prepay tiers are buy-when-ready. Pay-as-you-go is zero upfront forever.
