Simple pricing.
No surprises.
Sell tickets, run check-in, pay your team, and grow with ambassadors — without guessing what you'll owe. Our platform fee is a small share of paid ticket sales. Free events stay free.
The short version
Only when money changes hands. No monthly fee, no setup fee, and no charge on free RSVPs.
The fee
One fee on paid tickets.
When someone buys a paid ticket, we deduct a 4% platform fee from the gross sale before the organizer's share is settled for payout. Payment processor costs may also apply depending on your payment method and region — those are charged by the provider, not hidden by us.
Platform fee
4%
Applied to the gross ticket payment amount for paid events. The exact fee shown in your dashboard may vary slightly by currency or experiment — always confirm before going live.

Free RSVPs stay free.
Hosting a free event? There is no ticket revenue, so there is no percentage platform fee on ticket price. You still get the event page, guest updates, and check-in tools so your community can gather without friction.
Grow together. Get rewarded.
Ambassadors help organizers discover EventDorm and promote paid events. Ticket commissions apply only to checkouts through an ambassador's affiliate link on events where the organizer has enabled ambassador selling — that catalog is open to any ambassador, not only the organizer's referrer.
Organizer referrals
When an organizer signs up with your referral and runs paid ticket sales, you can earn a revenue share on the platform fee from those transactions. Our systems default to sharing on the order of 20% of the platform fee — subject to program rules. Qualifying accounts may also receive a one-time activation bonus when their activity meets the criteria published inside the ambassador dashboard.
Event promotion links
For paid events across the platform, the organizer must opt each event in to ambassador selling and set a rate. Any ambassador can earn on ticket sales completed through their own affiliate link — you do not need to have referred that organizer. Commission is calculated from the gross ticket amount and accrues in your balance by currency. Organizers can configure rates up to a high ceiling (for example, 50% of the ticket payment) — the exact percentage is always under the organizer's control for each event.
Payout thresholds and schedules appear in your ambassador dashboard. Nothing here overrides the Terms of Service.
Vendors join without a paywall.
Creating a vendor profile and appearing in the directory is designed to be accessible. Commercial terms for your services are between you and the organizer — we provide discovery, messaging, and workflow around requests and bookings. If we introduce optional paid placements or add-ons later, we'll publish those fees clearly before you opt in.
