About Eventbrite
Ticket sales through Eventbrite are fast, easy, and convenient. Thanks to a special partnership between the ASSU/SSE and Eventbrite, student groups receive a discount on normal Eventbrite rates and get ticket revenue deposited directly into their student group account. We’ve sold thousands of tickets to events like yours through Eventbrite, and we’re excited to set you up with the full power of a platform that has sold hundreds of millions of tickets.
You must register for each Eventbrite event through the ASSU.

FAQ
How much does Eventbrite cost?
Eventbrite charges 3.5% of the ticket price + $0.99 per ticket sold. This is a rate savings of 2% compared with normal Eventbrite rates. You can choose to hide this service fee in the ticket's amount (so it looks like one final price to the customer), or list the service fee separately.
In addition, SSE will take 1.0% out of the Eventbrite payout for your event. This is to cover the administrative costs we incur as we set-up Student Organization accounts and coordinate with various University entities. The breakdown is as follows:
| Eventbrite Service Fee | 0.5% of face value (1.5% charged to customer and 1.0% given back to you!) |
| Eventbrite Ticket Fee | $0.99 per ticket sold |
| Credit Card Processing Fee | 3.0% in the United States, 3.5% outside the United States |
| SSE Service Fee | 1.0% charged on Total Eventbrite Net Payout (The payout amount you see on you Eventbrite Event page) |
| Total | 3.5% + $0.99 = Eventbrite 1.0% = SSE |
If your ticket is free, you will have no service fees. Seriously.
