Paid automatically as you go.
No monthly subscription. No setup fee. No percentage cut of your revenue. Just one flat dollar per paid ticket sold — deducted from your Stripe payouts automatically.
* The $1 platform fee may be absorbed by the producer, added as a passthrough fee to the purchaser, or structured as a required add-on, depending on your event settings.
No feature tiers. No add-on pricing. Every feature below is available from day one.
Tickets priced at $0 — like a community showcase or opening-night comp — are never charged the platform fee.
A school musical charging $5 or less per ticket pays no TheaterTicks fee. Perfect for low-cost student productions.
Discount codes that reduce a ticket to $0 or below $5 are never charged. Comp your board members without any fee.
Tickets are your beachhead, but TheaterTicks helps you earn from every part of the night.
