Eventbrite Alternative in Edinburgh

Overview

Eventbrite takes up to 9.9% + €0.99 per ticket from your revenue. On a €50 ticket, that's nearly €6 gone before you see a cent. On top of that, your event lives on their platform, your attendees become their audience, and your brand takes a back seat to theirs. RedStudio gives you a fully branded event ticketing system built into your own website. You sell directly to your audience, keep 100% of the ticket price (minus standard card processing), and own every customer relationship.
