  Ticket Tailor does not sell software subscriptions or seats. The platform and
  its API are free to use; Ticket Tailor makes money on a low per-ticket fee for
  paid tickets. Setting up a box office is free, and the first five ticket sales
  are free. Free events are free to run (a small allowance applies only to very
  high-volume free organizers). There are two ways to pay for paid tickets - a
  simple pay-as-you-sell per-ticket rate, or cheaper pre-paid credit bundles
  bought in advance. Organizers can pass the booking fee on to buyers so they
  keep the full face value. The same account and pricing apply whether tickets
  are sold through the hosted box office or programmatically via the API. Prices
  below are list prices (excluding VAT) and should be reconciled against the live
  pricing page.
notes: >-
  Registered charities receive a 50 percent discount. All tickets sold using
  seating charts (including free tickets) incur a fee. The API itself carries no
  separate access charge - fees are per paid ticket issued. Verify current rates
  at https://www.tickettailor.com/pricing.

    Sell free tickets at no cost for the vast majority of organizers. A usage
    allowance applies only to very high-volume free events (roughly above 2,000
    free tickets per year); most box offices stay well under this and pay nothing.

    down to as little as 0.30 USD per ticket.
