Is this for you?

You're running an event. People need a ticket and a way to pay.

Take Bookings handles the payment, the digital pass, and the door check-in — so you do not need a separate ticketing platform.

Savings estimate

How much is a ticketing cut costing you?

Compare a platform % of ticket sales with 1% on Pay by Bank. Starts at 7% — the highest public platform cut we already publish — so you can see monthly savings on arrival. Change it to the % you were quoted. See pricing.

Default is Order Meal's public ~7% claim — the highest platform cut we publish — not a ticketing-site rate card. Replace it with the % you were quoted. Payment processing may still apply depending on how they pay.
