Why organizers leave Eventbrite

• Payouts after the event. Sent 3 business days after the event ends, plus 2 to 3 business days to reach a US bank.
• Early payouts cost extra. 20% of net sales held in reserve on pre-event payouts. Instant Payouts cost 3% per payout ($2.99 min, $40 max), not available on a first paid event.
• Fees on small tickets. 3.7% + $1.79 service fee per paid ticket, plus 2.9% payment processing per order. On a $12 ticket the buyer pays $2.58 in fees on Eventbrite and $1.29 on Eventrise.
• Ownership change. Bending Spoons completed its acquisition of Eventbrite on 10 March 2026, and Eventbrite is now private.
