Pricing for Organizers
Hosting events on ECTickets is cost-effective and scalable, with transparent fees that only apply to successful ticket sales. You set your own ticket prices, and we take a small platform fee to cover the infrastructure for secure ticketing, payments, and attendee management.
Fees are deducted automatically from sales proceeds. Use your Organizer dashboard to track real-time revenue.
Event Creation Fee
To get started, there’s a simple upfront cost for creating your event:
-
One-Time Event Creation Fee: HK$500 per event. This covers initial setup, verification, and publishing your event page.
- Paid immediately upon creating and going live.
- Refundable only if the event is canceled before it becomes active (no sales initiated).
-
Subscription Plans: For frequent organizers, we offer subscription plans that waive the one-time event creation fee and provide additional perks at HK$800 per year.
- No recurring charges — host as many events as you want during the subscription period.
- Contact sales for more details, Click here .
This fee ensures high-quality listings and dedicated support from day one.
Platform Fees for Ticket Sales
Once your event is live, fees apply only to actual sales — no charges for unsold inventory.
Your net earnings = Total Ticket Sales - Platform Fee (per sold ticket).
- Ticket Price: You determine the full price (e.g., HK$100 for normal seats, HK$200 for premium). This is what attendees pay (plus their processing fee — see Attendee Pricing).
- Platform Fee: Charged only on paid tickets sold through ECTickets. It varies by ticket type:
- Normal Tickets: 1% of ticket price (minimum HK$1.00 per ticket).
- Internal Sales Tickets: 1% of ticket price (minimum HK$1.00 per ticket).
- VIP Tickets: Flat HK$1.00 per ticket.
- All settlements in HKD (Hong Kong Dollars), paid out after event completion via bank transfer.
- No fees for unsold tickets.
We handle attendee processing fees separately (they don’t affect your earnings). The net earnings is visible in the Event Overview Report in your Organizer Dashboard.
Payout Schedule: Earnings minus fees are settled within 7-14 days after the event.
Quick Examples
Here’s what you might net from common scenarios (in HKD; assumes all tickets sold):
| Scenario | Tickets Sold | Gross Revenue | Platform Fees | Net Earnings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small Event (Normal) | 10 × HK$100 (Normal) | HK$1,000.00 | 10 × (1% of HK$100 = HK$1.00) = HK$10.00 | HK$990.00 |
| VIP-Focused Event | 20 × HK$100 (VIP) | HK$2,000.00 | 20 × HK$1.00 = HK$20.00 | HK$1,980.00 |
| Low-Price Ticket | 10 × HK$50 (Normal) | HK$500.00 | 10 × HK$1.00 (min applied; 1% = HK$0.50) = HK$10.00 | HK$490.00 |
Transaction Tips
