Running a ticketing platform isn’t as expensive as the big players make out. Ticketable covers its costs through small, tasteful, non-intrusive advertising — for example a discreet sponsor logo on the printable ticket. Nothing on your event page, and nothing that interrupts your buyer. That’s the only thing subsidising the platform — so you keep every penny of your ticket revenue.
