How Got Tickets Pays out
Example Breakdown: $50 Ticket Sale
-
Sub-Promoter Commission → $10 (set by promoter)
-
GotTickets Fee → $5
-
Stripe Fee → $1.75 (2.9% + $0.30)
-
Promoter Net Payout → $33.25 (~66.5%)
Formula: $50 – $10 – $5 – $1.75 = $33.25
Why These Numbers Matter
-
Stripe fee is a percentage, so it scales with the ticket price.
-
GotTickets fee is a flat $5, which has a bigger impact on lower ticket prices.
-
Promoter sets sub-promoter commission — this decision directly impacts their own net payout.
-
Knowing the fee breakdown helps promoters set smarter ticket prices and commission rates to stay profitable.
