Why event organisers are switching from Eventbrite
1. Eventbrite fees eat into your revenue
Eventbrite's organiser fee of 3.5% + £0.49 per ticket means a 1,000-ticket event at £25 per ticket costs you £1,365 in fees. On TicketLocation, that same event costs you £0 — and you'd actually earn an extra £1,250 in profit share.
The maths on a real event
1,000 tickets × £25 each:
Eventbrite: You pay £1,365 in fees. You keep £23,635.
TicketLocation: You pay £0 in fees. You keep £25,000 + £1,250 profit share = £26,250.
That's a £2,615 difference on a single event.
2. Slow payouts hold your cash flow hostage
Eventbrite takes 5–7 business days to process payouts. If you're running events frequently, that delay makes it harder to reinvest in your next event. TicketLocation pays out within 48 hours of your event finishing, with no withdrawal caps.
3. No real-time support when things go wrong
Eventbrite's support is email-only. When you have a gate emergency at 11pm on a Saturday, an email response in 24–48 hours doesn't help. TicketLocation offers 24/7 WhatsApp support for both organisers and their attendees.
4. You handle your own attendee complaints
On Eventbrite, attendee queries about refunds, entry, and ticket issues land on your desk. TicketLocation has a dedicated team that handles customer support for your attendees 24/7 — plus the legal and payment compliance side of things.
