The wedge, explained
On a $50 ticket, Eventbrite takes roughly $3.74 (3.5% + $1.99). mTap takes $0.55 (0.5% + $0.30). That is 80%+ lower per paid ticket. The math compounds quickly — a 500-person event saves roughly $1,600 in fees.
No. We never sell your guest list, never run ads against it, and never recommend competing events to your attendees. The guest list is yours.
Yes. Import attendees, rebuild the event page in minutes, connect your CRM, and announce the new registration link. Most organizers move in an afternoon.
Eventbrite changed the industry. Its discovery reach is real, especially for consumer events, and the brand is a default for general audiences. The trade-off is the fee structure, the ads on your event page, and the marketplace that markets competing events to the people you brought in. For B2B and member events where the relationship matters more than the discovery, that trade-off is rarely worth it.
