$0.50 per winter event ticket sold
The whole of what SantaTicket charges you - on any ticket, at any price, all season.
Our model, in plain terms.
Our charge does not climb with your ticket price and it does not climb with your volume. One line on a simple weekly invoice, nothing tucked underneath it.
Total fees at your volume.
Published rates, August 2026. SantaTicket $0.50 + 2.99% processing. Ticket Tailor pay-as-you-go $0.85 + 2.9%. TicketSpice $0.99 + 2.9% + $0.30 per order.
We never take a share of it, cap it or hide it in the payout. Most organizers cover our $0.50 twice over this way.
Your ticket prices should move without you.
The rule builder is where pricing stops being a nightly chore. Write the conditions once - the day, the arrival slot, tickets remaining, how far out the booking is, how many are in the party - and every price on your event adjusts itself for the rest of the season.
Our $0.50 never changes when a rule raises a price - every extra dollar it earns stays with you.
Selling tens of thousands of tickets a season?
Large winter events, multi-site operators and attractions running several seasons a year should talk to us before signing up. Volume changes the maths, and we will put a rate against your real numbers - the ticket count, the average price, the processing mix.
Questions organizers ask about ticketing costs.
How much does winter event ticketing software cost?
On SantaTicket, $0.50 per ticket sold plus 2.99% card processing. There is no monthly subscription, no per-event charge and no setup fee, so a season that sells nothing costs nothing.
Who pays the ticketing fee - me or the guest?
Your choice. Absorb it into the ticket price, or add a booking fee at checkout and keep the whole of it. Most Christmas event organizers pass it on and come out ahead.
Do free tickets and comps cost anything?
No. Free entry, comped sponsor tickets, radio giveaways and school groups on a zero-price ticket are never charged - the $0.50 applies only to a paid sale.
Are there cheaper rates for high-volume events?
Yes - if you sell tens of thousands of tickets across a season or run several sites, schedule a call and we will price against your actual volume.
Can I use my own payment processor?
Cards run on the Hytix gateway at 2.99% flat, which keeps one payout, one reconciliation and one place to chase a chargeback. Talk to us if you have an existing merchant arrangement.
Is the box office app an extra cost?
No. Gate scanning, timed entry and slot booking, window sales, offline mode, staff logins, waivers, reporting and 24/7 support are included on every account - there is no premium tier to buy.
Nothing to pay until your first ticket sells.
Build the event, connect a payout account, publish. If this winter sells out, you will have paid us $0.50 a ticket to get there.
