Ticketing Fees Are Bleeding Non-Profits Dry

If you’ve ever run ticketed events for your community group or non-profit, you know the pain. Every ticket sold comes with a cut. Eventbrite? That’s 5-10% per ticket, depending on the plan. Ticketmaster? Even worse. It adds up fast. Let’s say you sell 200 tickets to a $20 event — you’re losing $200 to $400 in fees. That's money your mission won’t see.

You might be thinking, “Well, those platforms handle everything for us.” Sure, they do. But are they worth a 10% slice of your revenue? For most small organisations, the answer is no. Especially when there’s a better way.

Zero Platform Fees: Yes, It’s Possible

Here’s the thing: you don’t need to pay platform fees. CommunityTix charges exactly 0% on ticket sales. Sell 200 tickets at $20? You keep the full $4,000 (minus PayPal’s standard processing fees). That’s it. There’s no catch.

How? CommunityTix was built specifically for non-profits, cultural associations, and community groups. We’re not here to squeeze your budget dry. We’re here to make organising events affordable and simple.

Real Savings, Real Impact

Let’s put this in perspective. A local arts society we worked with ran a community play last year. Tickets were $15 each, and they sold 300. On Eventbrite, they would’ve paid up to $450 in platform fees. Using CommunityTix, they saved every cent of that. That’s $450 they could reinvest into costumes, set design, or even just paying their volunteers a small stipend.

And it’s not just about money. CommunityTix also simplifies event management (more on that later). But if all you care about is keeping more revenue, this feature alone is worth it.

“What About Fine Print?”

You might be wondering if there’s a hidden fee somewhere. Spoiler: there isn’t. You’ll pay PayPal’s processing fees — typically 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. But that’s unavoidable unless you’re dealing strictly in cash.

Unlike other platforms, we don’t stack extra charges on top of that. No “service fee,” no “convenience fee,” no “because-we-can fee.” What you charge is what you keep.

Why Affordable Ticketing Matters

For big corporations, losing 10% to fees is a rounding error. For small organisations, it’s the difference between breaking even and going into the red. Non-profits shouldn’t have to choose between hosting a great event and staying within budget. Ticketing shouldn’t be a luxury.

CommunityTix is designed to level the playing field. Keep more of your revenue. Spend it on what actually matters — your community, your cause, your mission.
