Eventbrite's pricing structure is as follows:

• Free Events: Eventbrite is free to use for free events. Organizers do not pay any fees for events with no ticket sales.
• Paid Events: For paid events, Eventbrite charges a 3.7% service fee plus $1.79 per ticket in the US. This fee structure varies by country and currency, with different rates applying in different regions (e.g., 6.95% + £0.59 in the UK, 5.5% + €0.99 in Germany).
• Pricing Plans: Eventbrite offers the Pro plan, which allows unlimited event publishing for free, with fees only applying when tickets are sold. The Pro plan has three tiers, and nonprofits receive a 50% discount, while annual subscribers get a 20% discount.
• Additional Fees: Payment processing fees are also applicable, which are typically 2.9% of the transaction amount plus a fixed fee (e.g., 30¢ per transaction).
• Flex Plan Discontinuation: Eventbrite has discontinued the Flex plan, which allowed organizers to pay a one-time fee based on the number of attendees. This plan was ideal for occasional event hosts who didn’t need a monthly subscription.
