Stop Losing Ticket Revenue to Platform Fees
Here’s a hard truth: platforms like Eventbrite take a big cut of your ticket sales. They charge 5-10% per ticket. That adds up fast when you’re a non-profit running events to fund your programs. Imagine selling $50 tickets for a fundraiser—on an Eventbrite plan, you'd lose $5 per ticket right off the top. If you sell 200 tickets, that’s $1,000 gone. Couldn’t that money be better spent on your community?
Zero platform fees aren’t just nice-to-have; they’re essential for organisations with tight budgets. When every dollar counts, keeping the full ticket price matters.
How CommunityTix Solves This Problem
CommunityTix charges no platform fees. You keep 100% of your ticket revenue. The only cost is PayPal’s standard processing fee (usually around 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction). No hidden charges, no monthly subscription traps.
Let’s compare:
| Platform | Revenue from $50 Ticket (after fees) | Fees Breakdown |
|---|---|---|
| Eventbrite | $45.50 | 5% platform fee + 2.5% + $0.99 service fee + PayPal processing |
| CommunityTix | $48.25 | Only PayPal processing fees apply |
With CommunityTix, you’re saving $2.75 per ticket. Multiply that across hundreds of tickets—it’s a real budget saver.
Why This Matters for Non-Profits
Non-profits and community groups rarely have the luxury of big marketing budgets. Many rely on volunteers, small grants, or membership fees to keep running. Every event is a chance to raise money or build engagement. Losing even a small percentage of ticket revenue can hurt. Zero platform fees let you stretch your dollars further.
Here’s an example: a small cultural association hosting an annual dinner for 300 guests. Tickets are $30 each. On Eventbrite, they’d pay roughly $1,350 in fees. With CommunityTix? They’d pay nothing (aside from PayPal’s cut).
The Obvious Objection: “What’s the Catch?”
You might be wondering, "How can CommunityTix offer this without charging platform fees?" It’s simple: CommunityTix is open-source. We don’t need to make a profit from your events. The platform runs on community-driven principles—no vendor lock-in, full transparency, and you own your data.
There’s no catch. You just pay the minimal PayPal processing fee, which is standard across all platforms.
