How WebTicketManager works
Setting up your ticket selling platform with WebTicketManager is fast and free. We can set up a basic selling site in as little as 2 hours and we only charge you once you start selling. Our fee structure starts at 4% of the ticket price and when your revenue builds to more than £100,000, the fees you pay start to fall.
Booking Fees: Some events choose to add a booking fee to cover the costs and administration costs. 5% or 6% is the rule of thumb or a flat fee based on the ‘face value’ of your intended ticket price.

You can easily set up your own network of affiliate sellers and reward them (typically 10%) for selling your tickets.
