Nonprofit needing to sell 10,000 tickets

[Susan M]

Hi,
We are a nonprofit about to hold a huge event on New Year’s day. We might sell up to 10,000 tickets. I’d like to know the fees for Eventbrite tickets. We’d be placing it on our wordpress site.

Hi Susan. Thanks for considering our products.

Our Eventbrite Tickets add-on for The Events Calendar (TEC) free plugin has an initial cost for the year for updates and support, but we don’t charge any per-ticket fees. The only fees would be purchasing the add-on and then whatever Eventbrite’s fees are: https://www.eventbrite.com/fees/

An alternative route (to avoid Eventbrite and its fees) is to purchase our Event Tickets Plus add-on that upgrades the functionality of our free Event Tickets plugin. It can work with TEC, of course, but can also work with other calendar plugins or regular WordPress Posts.

Event Tickets Plus enables you to sell tickets via one of our supported eCommerce platforms (no per-ticket fees charged by us or Eventbrite). The free plugin only enables free RSVP-type tickets.

You can view our roundup/comparison of all the eCommerce plugins ET+ supports.

Our plugin uses your eCommerce plugin of choice, but your eCommerce plugin isn’t displayed for shopping pages. Please reference our Making Tickets KB article (screenshots are from an install using WooCommerce) for an idea how to create tickets for an event.

Site visitors would purchase tickets from each event’s single page/view (e.g. example.com/events/rogers-day-at-the-zoo/) — if there is an RSVP to submit or ticket to purchase.

The order confirmation email will include a QR code that can be scanned to “check in” someone at the door at the time of the event. You can read more at Tickets: Managing your orders and attendees.

Last but not least, we have a pretty great Refund Policy so you can buy one or many of our add-ons and thoroughly test them.

I hope this info helps. Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
