Seatkeeper · From Eventbrite · UK‑wide, based in Fareham
Moving your classes off Eventbrite
Eventbrite is a good way to sell tickets, and it does more than people give it credit for - its waitlist offers released tickets on its own, and its checkout can sit on your own site (Eventbrite's own feature pages, checked 29 September 2026). Where a class business running week in, week out tends to move is the fee on every paid ticket, and wanting the website and the bookings in one system of its own.

What's included
- Your website and your bookings as one system of your own, rather than orders on Eventbrite's platform.

What Eventbrite charges
From Eventbrite's own pricing page, checked 29 September 2026:
A fee on every paid ticket
A percentage of the ticket price plus a fixed amount per ticket. Check Eventbrite's pricing page for the current UK rate.
Paid by your customer, or you
Buyers pay it by default; you can choose to cover it yourself.
Free events are free
No fee on a free event.
Where a class business outgrows it
The fee grows with you
Every paid place carries it, so a busy month costs more than a quiet one.
The bookings are Eventbrite orders
Even with the checkout on your own site, each booking is an order on their platform, under their terms.
Your website is a separate job
Eventbrite sells the tickets; the site around them is still yours to build and look after.
Pricing
£49+VAT a month plus £200+VAT setup, or £499+VAT a year with no setup fee - Seatkeeper's founding prices, half the usual, and yours for as long as you stay. No fee on any booking.
Card payments go straight to your own account, so the only fee on a booking is your card processor's standard one.
When to stay on Eventbrite
If you run a few one-off events a year, especially free ones, Eventbrite costs you nothing and its marketplace can find you people. Stay on it.
