Competitor pricing note
- Eventbrite public pricing reviewed March 15, 2026 showed a US paid-ticket baseline of 3.7% + $1.79 per sold ticket, plus 2.9% payment processing per order.
- Eventbrite pricing can vary by event, account, and add-ons, so this calculator uses that public baseline only as a comparison estimate.
- MrStubs does not claim parity with Eventbrite marketplace discovery or its broader marketplace audience model.
