An example
A $49 ticket, 100 tickets, $2,000 in event costs and $5 per attendee for food, in the US. With buyers paying the fees, each buyer pays $54.13 and your profit is $2,400.00.
If you absorb the fees, Eventbrite takes $5.13 a ticket and your profit is $1,887.15. Your break-even ticket price, with buyers paying the fees, is $25.00.
Pricing a virtual event
A virtual event has no venue and no per-person costs, so the fixed costs are the platform, speakers and marketing. Free virtual summits often earn from an all-access pass instead of tickets: see how to host a virtual summit.
