Selling tickets for your event with TicketSpice is simple and easy, and best of all, the pricing is ridiculously low and designed to help you make more and keep more on your event. There are no setup fees, no monthly fees, no admin fees, and no credit cards required to create an account and start selling tickets on TicketSpice.

There are optional premium features available on TicketSpice that are non-essential to selling tickets, including text messaging, email blasts, email automation, Mobile Pay Pass, and others. Complete pricing for these optional features is found below.

The following pricing applies when using TicketSpice's preferred payment processor, Webconnex Payments which charges 2.9% + $0.30 for all credit card transactions. All fees are taken out before your event payout and occur in real-time.

If you use a custom payment processor, there is an additional 1% fee on all transactions. See the Custom Payment Processor section for more information.

When selling tickets online through your TicketSpice event page, the fees are $0.99 per paid ticket plus the payment processor's credit card fees of 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction.

If the price for a ticket is $5 or less (excluding any fees you have on the page), the TicketSpice fee drops to $0.49 per ticket plus the payment processor's credit card fees of 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction.

When you are running paid events, free events are free. But there are scenarios where the free events incur a fee. Here are some examples:

When selling tickets on-site using the TicketSpice Box Office app and with our preferred payment processor, your paid tickets cost $0.49 per ticket + the payment processor's credit card fees of 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. When accepting cash or check payments on-site using the Box Office App, there are no TicketSpice fees and no credit card fees.

When using TicketSpice's preferred payment processor, you can choose to absorb all the ticketing + credit card fees OR pass on all the fees to the buyer. Many events choose to pass on fees because it can make sourcing and reconciling revenue to each ticket or item sold on the ticketing page easier.

The default setting is for the event organizer to absorb fees which are deducted before you receive your funds in the event payouts. When choosing to pass on all the fees to the buyer, the buyer will pay an increased amount and you'll receive the face value of tickets and all items on the ticketing page.

The following example illustrates the difference between absorbing or passing on the fees:

Absorbing the Fees:

When selling 2 tickets at $25 each, the buyer pays $50 and all fees are absorbed by the event organizer before payouts. The TicketSpice fees for 2 tickets in this example are $1.98 and credit card fees are $1.50 for a total of $3.48 combined fees. The net payout on the 2 tickets sold for $50 would be $46.52.

Passing on Fees to Buyers

Should you choose to pass on all TicketSpice fees + credit card fees to the buyer all fees are added to the attendee's payment total to be charged. Because the buyer is now paying an increased amount due to fees being passed on, a small fractional percentage fee is added to account for the credit card processing on the increased total. In the same example of selling 2 tickets at $25 each, the buyer's $50 is increased to $53.73 and you receive $50 in your payout.

When using TicketSpice for free events alongside your existing paid events, your free events on TicketSpice are completely free. If you are not hosting any paid events but are only hosting free events, your free events cost $0.99 per ticket. All TicketSpice fees for free events are charged monthly using a card on file.

TicketSpice allows you to use a custom payment processor like Stripe, Authorize.net, Cybersource, and others for a 1% additional fee on the transaction. When using these payment processors, you'll pay the credit card fees directly to the provider. Because these are external payment service providers, the TicketSpice fees cannot be automatically deducted from the event payouts, and a credit card on file is required to pay TicketSpice's fees which are paid monthly.

For events based outside of the US and Canada, the custom 1% fee is waived until our preferred payment processor is compatible in your local currency. If certain requirements or restrictions prohibit you from using our preferred payment solution and you would like to request the 1% fee to be waived, please contact our sales team.

Issuing Full Refunds

When using our preferred payment processor, all ticketing fees and credit card fees are returned to the buyer when issuing a full refund. This is unlike most providers who neither return the ticketing fees nor payment processing fees.

When using a custom payment processor and you issue a full refund within the same billing cycle, a $0.99 per paid ticket fee remains but you will not be charged the 1% custom processing fee. Refunds that occur outside the same billing cycle do not get credited back the $0.99 ticketing fee or the 1% custom processing fee. It's important to note that custom payment processors have various policies for refunds and do not refund their credit card fees on full refunds.

Issuing Partial Refunds

When you modify a ticket order that results in a partial refund, there are no partial refunds of the ticketing fees nor partial refunds of the credit card processing fees due to credit card restrictions. The amount you refund back will be the amount that is credited back to your attendee's credit card.

TicketSpice offers a host of premium features and upgrades to help you find, attract, and convert more sales to increase your sales. These features are completely optional.

The TicketSpice text messaging platform empowers you to send out mass text messages to your existing ticket holders and past attendees. Because of strict communication laws surrounding text message communication, each event organizer must complete a verification process with the carriers and also reserve a dedicated phone number that will be assigned to their use. Mobile carriers charge for the verification process, the dedicated number, and charge a fee per message segment*.

TicketSpice offers two sending plans depending on your text message sending volume. Both plans require a one-time brand verification fee of $49 on behalf of the carriers.

Text Messaging Basic Plan:

Text Messaging Super Sender Plan

*Mobile carriers charge per message segment. A message segment is 140 characters. If you send a message that exceeds 140 characters, carriers will charge for 2 message segments per recipient for that text message blast.
​

All text message plans are billed monthly with a card on file.

Mobile Pay Pass is a feature that enables your attendees' QR codes issued on their tickets to be their payment method on-site at your event. The event organizer configures various on-site items for sale such as food, beverage, merchandise, products, experiences and then uses the mobile app to sell items on-site and scan attendees' QR code to complete purchase. The attendees' QR code is linked to the card on-file with their ticket reservation.

By default, your ticketing page URLs will be linked to the TicketSpice.com domain (ex: https://mycompany.ticketspice.com/event-name). For events that want more of a white label experience, we can associate all your ticketing pages with a domain name you already own and use. In this example, your ticketing pages would be located at URL similar to https://tickets.mycompany.com/event-name. For advanced conversion tracking with Facebook / Meta, it is recommended to utilize a custom domain name for your ticketing pages that matches you primary website and promotional efforts.
