Worked example: 500 tickets at ₹499
Selling 500 tickets at ₹499 grosses ₹2,49,500. What you lose depends on which platform you sell through, and the headline percentage is not the whole figure — per-ticket flat fees and payment processing sit on top of it. On Eventbrite's India schedule that comes to ₹24,723. On Event Flo the platform fee is 0%, so the host keeps all ₹2,49,500.
Per-ticket flat fees matter most on cheap tickets: at ₹100 a head, a ₹22 flat fee is more than the percentage and the effective rate passes 25%.
| Platform | Fee schedule | Fees paid | Host keeps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legacy platform | 10.0% | ₹24,950 | ₹2,24,550 |
| Eventbrite (India) | 3.5% + ₹22/ticket + 2% | ₹24,723 | ₹2,24,777 |
| BookMyShow | 6.5% + 2% | ₹21,208 | ₹2,28,292 |
| Event Flo | 0% | ₹0 | ₹2,49,500 |
Frequently asked questions
Does Event Flo really charge 0% commission on tickets?
Yes. Event Flo charges 0% platform commission on every ticket sale — you keep 100% of the ticket revenue. There is no catch: guests pay you directly, and Event Flo never sits in the money path.
How does Eventbrite charge for events?
Eventbrite charges a service fee of approximately 3.7% + $1.79 per ticket, plus an optional payment processing fee of 2.9%. For a ₹1,000 ticket, you could lose ₹90–150 per sale. For a 100-person event that's ₹9,000–15,000 gone before you get paid.
How much does BookMyShow charge event organizers?
BookMyShow's organizer fees vary but typically include a platform fee (5%–8%) plus payment gateway charges. Payouts are also delayed by 3–7 business days post-event. Event Flo charges 0% fees, and because guests pay you directly there is no payout wait at all.

Free events on Event Flo are completely free to host and free for guests to attend. No platform fee, no payment processing fee, no surprise charges.
