What it costs
Every fee, on one page.
No sales call to find out what YRTKT costs. This is the whole fee model — what fans pay, what organisers pay, what promoters earn — sourced from the same numbers our own checkout and payout code runs on, not a marketing rate card that says something different from the invoice.
The ticket fee
Every paid ticket carries one fee: 5% of face value, plus £0.50. It's paid by the buyer at checkout, shown as its own line before they pay — never folded silently into the ticket price. An artist or venue can choose to absorb it into the ticket price instead, so the buyer never sees a fee line at all; either way, the same amount is calculated the same way. Free tickets carry no fee at all.
Face value
£20.00
Fee (5% + £0.50)
£1.50
Buyer pays
£21.50
The same rate and formula apply to standalone merchandise checkout. Merchandise fulfilment itself is still browse-only while we build it out — the fee shown here is what checkout charges today, not a forward promise.
Promoter commission
Commission is a percentage of ticket face value, paid by the artist or venue from their own ticket revenue — never a platform fee, never deducted from YRTKT's cut. The organiser sets the rate for their own campaign within these defaults, and sees the projected cost before it goes live; a promoter sees the full terms before accepting.
| Who brought the sale | Default commission |
|---|---|
| Direct sale | 10% of face value |
| Second hop | 5% of face value |
| Third hop and beyond | 2.5% of face value |
Unlimited depth: when someone your promoter brought brings someone else, that third hop still pays — most rep schemes stop paying after the first sale. Commission accrues on confirmed, non-refunded sales only, and clawback reverses it automatically if an order is later refunded.
Payouts are requested by the promoter against their accrued, available balance and settle through their connected payout account — YRTKT never holds promoter funds itself. We don't publish a fixed payout SLA on this page because we haven't committed to one yet; ask us directly during a pilot and we'll give you a straight answer, not a marketing number.
Sponsor activations & Management accounts
Sponsor facilitation — 12% of sponsor spend
When a sponsor funds entitlements (a welcome drink, a giveaway pool) redeemed through YRTKT, the platform takes 12% of that spend at settlement. This is a stated rate, not yet an automated charge — today it's arranged directly with us rather than billed by the platform, and we're telling you that plainly instead of describing an invoice that doesn't exist yet.
Management accounts
Free for the first 10 live events a month across your roster. Above that, £299.00/month. As with sponsor facilitation, this is our stated policy rather than an automatically metered charge today — we agree it with you directly rather than surprise you with a bill.
