What is Ticmint Fee Crossover?
“Marketplace 8-15% vs Ticmint 2% → crossover at ~$1,500 gross ticket revenue”
Ticmint's 2% platform fee only beats a marketplace's 8-15% cut once an event clears roughly $1,500 in gross ticket revenue. On a $10,000 gate, that gap is $600-$1,300 per event, which is why agencies should run this math before pitching. The Growth plan at $19/month (or $15/month billed annually) covers unlimited events and tickets, so the fixed cost stays flat as a client's calendar grows. A venue running six events a year at $8,000 each pays about $960 in Ticmint fees versus $3,840-$7,200 through a marketplace. Below the crossover, the $0.02-$0.05 per-transaction tiers on lower plans can be cheaper, so route small one-off shows there. Position Ticmint as the retainer anchor for clients with recurring events, and keep marketplace listings as a discovery channel rather than the primary checkout.
