Migrate from Eventbrite.
Pay flat fees. Not percentages.
Eventbrite's new owners have a history of raising fees after acquisition. FrankTix charges a flat fee per event — not a percentage of every ticket sold. Your ticket price is your ticket price.
What happened to Eventbrite?
Revenue declining
Eventbrite's revenue fell 8% year-over-year in Q3 2025. The platform was stagnating before the sale.
New private owners
Bending Spoons acquired Eventbrite for $500M in March 2026. They also own Meetup, Vimeo, WeTransfer, and AOL.
All executives resigned
CEO, CFO, CPO, and CLO all stepped down at the acquisition close. The team that built it is gone.
Bending Spoons track record: Meetup raised prices twice in 18 months after acquisition.
The fee math is clear
What you actually pay to run events on each platform
| Scenario | Eventbrite (Pro) | FrankTix | Your Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 tickets × $25 | $508 in platform fees | $5 flat | $503 saved |
| 500 tickets × $50 | $1,670 in fees | $15 flat | $1,655 saved |
| 1,000 tickets × $75 | $4,215 in fees | $29 flat | $4,186 saved |
| 2,000 tickets × $150 | $13,680 in fees | $49 flat | $13,631 saved |
Eventbrite Pro: 3.5% + $1.59 per ticket. Stripe processing applies to both platforms equally.
What you get with FrankTix
Transparent Queue
Buyers see their exact live position in line. How many people ahead, tickets left, estimated wait. No other platform does this.
Zero Buyer Fees
The price buyers see is the price they pay. No service fee. No convenience fee. No surprise at checkout. Always.
Real-Time Dashboard
Sales, revenue, check-ins — all updating live via WebSockets. Not "refreshes every 5 minutes" — actually live.
Anti-Bot Protection
Rate limiting, fingerprinting, randomized pre-sale queues. Protects your inventory from scalpers and bots from day one.
Scanner PWA
Camera-based QR scanner works on any smartphone. No app install, no hardware required for your door team.
Independent Platform
Not owned by a PE firm. Not on an acquisition treadmill. A focused ticketing platform — not a feature in someone else's app portfolio.
