You’re an event organizer. You’ve got a vision, a venue, and a crowd waiting to be entertained. But somewhere between the "Create Event" button and your first sale, something feels... off. You look at your dashboard and see a web of complex marketing "Boosts," daily email limits, and a fee structure that looks like a calculus equation.
Welcome to the Eventbrite Tax.
At MainGate Tickets, we think that’s a bunch of noise. You shouldn’t need a PhD in digital marketing just to sell a ticket. And you definitely shouldn’t be paying a monthly subscription fee just to talk to your own fans!
It’s time for the $1 REVOLUTION.
Let’s talk numbers. Because at the end of the day, your profit is what keeps the lights on.
Eventbrite loves their percentages. They charge 3.7% plus $1.79 per ticket. Selling a $50 ticket? They take $3.64. Selling a $100 ticket? They’re reaching into your pocket for $5.49. And that’s before the credit card processing! (Which, let’s be real, is just a standard part of doing business, like buying napkins for a food truck: you do it through your own Stripe account and move on).
Now, look at MainGate. Our fee is $1. FLAT.
Imagine that. You keep the difference. For a festival selling 2,000 tickets at $50, switching to MainGate puts thousands of dollars back in your bank account. That’s not just a "saving": that’s your marketing budget for next year!
Have you seen the new "Pro" plans over at the giant ticketing sites? They want to charge you $15, $50, or even $100 EVERY MONTH just for the privilege of sending marketing emails to your own customers.
Think about that. You worked hard to build your list. You earned those fans. Why should you pay a monthly rent to a ticketing platform just to send them an update?
At MainGate, we don't believe in "renting" your audience. We focus on what matters: EVENT CREATION and SPEED. Our platform is built to be a partner, not a landlord. We give you the tools to succeed without the subscription handcuffs. Check out our Full Feature List to see how we keep things lean and mean.
The big guys want you to believe that "complexity" equals "power." They’ll try to sell you on advanced AI-driven discovery algorithms and "Boost" tools that require a tutorial video just to understand.
But you’re busy. You’re managing talent, security, and logistics. You don’t have time for a three-day onboarding seminar.
HOW SIMPLE? Our event creation is a simple one-page form. You put in the details, set your prices, and you’re LIVE. No bloat. No confusion. Just a fast, transparent pricing model that lets you get back to work.
We’re NOT built on some clunky, over-loaded WordPress plugin that crashes when the traffic hits. MainGate is a robust, custom-built platform designed for one thing: MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY.
Why should a ticketing company hold onto your cash for weeks? They’re earning interest on your hard work while you’re waiting to pay your vendors.
NOT HERE. We believe in FAST PAYOUTS. We help you collect your ticket revenue quickly with detailed reporting, so you always know exactly where you stand. When the tickets sell, the money should be moving toward you, not sitting in a corporate bank account.
The "Goliaths" of the industry rely on the fact that you’re "too busy" to switch. They think you’ll just accept the hidden fees and the $100-a-month "Boost" subscriptions as the cost of doing business.
THEY ARE WRONG.
Organizers of Festivals, Zoos, Museums, and Sports events are waking up. They’re realizing that $1 is all it takes to get world-class service, ALL-IN SCANNING that is 4-5 times faster than the competition, and a partner who actually wants you to keep your profit.
Don't let your revenue get nibbled away by percentage fees and monthly "marketing" subscriptions. Take control of your gates, your data, and your dollars.
Whether you’re running a local Comedy night or a massive Home Show, the choice is clear.
STRIKE NOW. Create your first event on MainGate Tickets today and see how much you save. It’s simple. It’s fast. And it’s AMAZING.
Stop paying the "Eventbrite Tax" and start maximizing your ROI. The $1 Revolution is here; are you in?
