How pricing works
Understand ticket pricing, platform fees, and who pays what on Promise Tickets.
Promise Tickets uses a transparent pricing model where producers set the ticket price and patrons pay a small platform fee on top.
Price breakdown
Every ticket promise has two components:
| Component | Who sets it | Who pays it | |-----------|------------|-------------| | Ticket face value | Producer | Patron | | Platform fee | Promise Tickets (10% of face value) | Patron |
For example, if a producer sets the ticket price at $25.00:
- Ticket price: $25.00
- Platform fee (10%): $2.50
- Total charged to patron: $27.50
When promising multiple tickets, the fee applies per ticket:
- 3 tickets at $25.00 = $75.00 + $7.50 fee = $82.50 total
What producers receive
Producers keep 100% of the ticket face value. The platform fee is collected separately and does not reduce the producer's payout.
Using the example above:
- Total charged to patron: $27.50
- Producer receives: $25.00
- Promise Tickets receives: $2.50
When charges happen
Patrons are never charged when they make a promise. Cards are only charged when the producer converts the campaign after the threshold is met. If the campaign expires without reaching its threshold, no one is charged.
