The ticket pricing is segmented into various ranges. For tickets priced up to $25, fees are under $2. As the ticket price increases, so does the fee, reaching $2.95 for tickets priced between $26 to $35, and increasing gradually until it reaches $14.95 for tickets priced above $700.

Events.com receives a 6% commission on each registration transaction and a 4% commission on merchandise transactions. Events.com also receives 30% of ancillary revenue from an event.

The pricing for digital marketing tools on Events.com is determined by the positioning of the event listing on the Events.com website: (1) Free listing: Events are shown in chronological order, (2) Featured and boosted listing: $5/day per event per city, (3) Premier listing: $25-$100/day to be the top spot on Events.com’s largest ad space on the partner calendar of choice.

Events.com generates revenue from SaaS subscriptions to Events.com Enterprise and Events.com Discover.

Events.com offers three different tiers of plans based on how many events or series of events a user manages monthly: (1) Basic (up to 5 events): $30/month or $300/year, (2) Pro (up to 15 events): $50/month or $480/year, (3) Enterprise (up to 40 events): $80/month or $780/year.
