Hi Matt,
Thanks so much for reaching out and for your interest in our products!
At this time we do not currently have a feature that charges a fee for event submissions. Community Events does however have a feature in which you can have users register for your site before submitting an event, if that is something that you are interested in.
We do have this feature planned as a future release, but we do not have a timeline at this time: https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas/suggestions/3762678-charge-for-event-submission-and-premium-featured-e
If this functionality is a requirement for your intended project, I’d suggest that a third-party developer would be the best way to make this feature happen on a short timeline. ? We maintain a list of developers who work with our plugins on our Knowledgebase here:

I hope this helps to answer your question. Please feel free to reach out if anything else comes up!
Thanks,
Jaime
