QZee vs Eventbrite: UK event pricing explained
Eventbrite lets organisers publish unlimited events without an upfront publishing fee and charges no Ticketing Fees for free tickets. QZee's public pricing lists events under Pro at £14.99/month and a 3% + 25p fee per paid booking, with Stripe processing paid separately by the business. Because the platforms use different fee units and payers, the £18 example below illustrates the published formulas rather than promising an organiser saving or customer checkout total.

Eventbrite figures checked on 14 July 2026 against its official UK Ticketing Fees, pricing and VAT pages. The £18 figures compare published platform-fee formulas only, not organiser payout or customer checkout totals. Eventbrite charges per sold ticket and buyers pay by default; QZee publishes a per-paid-booking fee but requires its fee payer and multi-ticket treatment to be confirmed. Pricing can change, so check current terms.

FAQ
Questions, answered
What does Eventbrite charge in the UK?
Eventbrite's official UK fee table lists 6.95% + £0.59 per sold ticket and no separate payment-processing fee for standard UK online sales. On an £18 ticket, that is about £1.84 before VAT. Eventbrite says 20% VAT applies to its service fee unless the organiser provides a verified VAT ID, taking this example to about £2.21 where VAT applies.
What would QZee charge on the same ticket?
If one £18 ticket is one paid booking, QZee's 3% + 25p platform-fee formula produces 79p. No VAT is added to QZee's 3% + 25p booking fee. Stripe's standard processing fees also apply and are paid by the business. QZee's public pricing lists events under Pro at £14.99/month. This is not a total-cost comparison because the platforms use different fee payers and units. Confirm QZee's platform-fee payer, event-only plan access and multi-ticket treatment before publishing.
Which option costs an organiser less?
The headline percentages do not answer that on their own. Eventbrite's buyer pays by default, although the organiser can absorb the fee. QZee lists a monthly Pro price, a per-paid-booking platform fee and separate Stripe processing, while its platform-fee payer and multi-ticket treatment need confirmation. Compare a written quote against your ticket mix before deciding.
What does Eventbrite do well?
