5% Commission vs 10%: The True Cost of Using Other Ticketing Platforms
The Hidden Drain: How 5% vs 10% Commission Can Make or Break Your Event Profits!
Are High Ticketing Fees Secretly Eating Your Event's Bottom Line?
As event organizers across India, you're masters of creation. From conceptualizing a vibrant cultural festival in Jaipur to orchestrating a high-stakes tech conference in Hyderabad, your passion fuels unforgettable experiences. Yet, there’s a common, often overlooked, challenge that silently chips away at your hard-earned revenue: the commission fees charged by ticketing platforms.
It’s a tale I’ve heard countless times as Lokendra Narware, founder of Eventland. Organizers pour their heart and soul, not to mention significant capital, into their events. Only to see a substantial portion of their ticket sales vanish into the pockets of ticketing giants charging 10%, 12%, or even more. This isn't just a minor expense; it's a critical decision that directly impacts your event's profitability and future. But what if there was a way to keep more of your money, reinvest it into your event, and still get a world-class ticketing experience? Let's talk about the true cost of commission and why Eventland is changing the game.
The Cold Hard Math: 5% vs. 10% in Real Numbers
Let's cut straight to the chase with an example that highlights the stark reality of commission fees in event ticketing India. Imagine you're organizing a popular music concert in Delhi, expecting to sell 10,000 tickets, each priced at ₹1,000. That's a total potential revenue of ₹1 crore.
- With a 10% commission platform (like many established players, e.g., BookMyShow): You would pay ₹10 lakhs in commission fees.
- With Eventland's industry-leading 5% commission: You pay just ₹5 lakhs in commission fees.
That's an extra ₹5 lakhs directly in your pocket! This isn't theoretical; this is real money that you save on every single event. Whether you're a budding organizer running local workshops or a seasoned pro managing large-scale Mumbai events, choosing a low commission ticketing platform like Eventland means a significant boost to your financial health. This difference is not just about being 'cheaper'; it's about fundamentally changing the economics of event management in your favor.
Beyond Savings: What You Can Do with That Extra 5%
Saving money is great, but what does that extra 5% truly mean for your event? The answer is simple: more possibilities, more impact, and ultimately, a better experience for everyone.
- Enhance Your Event: That additional capital can be reinvested to book better artists, improve production quality (sound, lighting, stage design), offer superior amenities, or even extend your event's duration. Imagine what an extra ₹5 lakhs could do for your next festival's lineup!
- Boost Your Marketing: Greater budget means a wider reach. You can invest in more targeted advertising campaigns, explore new promotional channels, and attract an even larger audience.
- Offer Value to Attendees: With lower costs, you have the flexibility to offer more competitive ticket prices, introduce early bird discounts, or include valuable perks for your attendees, making your event more accessible and appealing.
- Increase Your Profits: Ultimately, for many organizers, that extra 5% translates directly into higher net profits, rewarding you for your hard work and making your venture more sustainable.
