TicketWeb price and terms

The terms in full

The UK help center says the system is available to venues and organizers 'at potentially no cost', with service charges either charged to the buyer at booking or paid by the organizer out of the ticket price. No US page publishes any fee or free option, and access begins with an application reviewed by TicketWeb's sales team.

The fee per ticket

TicketWeb states the shape of the fee but never the amount: a service fee on each ticket plus one processing fee per order, with no percentage, fixed figure or cap published anywhere on its own sites.

Tickets purchased on our Site are typically subject to a per ticket service fee and a non-refundable per order processing fee. In many cases,…

Who pays the fees

On TicketWeb.com the buyer pays the fees on top of the ticket price, and only the UK help center says an organizer may instead pay the service charge itself; the US pages do not offer that choice in writing.

Tickets purchased on our Site are typically subject to a per ticket service fee and a non-refundable per order processing fee.

Card processing

TicketWeb itself takes the card payment and collects the money for the organizer, so there is no separate processor to connect, but no card processing rate is published on any of its pages.

Fees on refunds

When a US refund is issued TicketWeb returns the ticket price but keeps its service fees, and delivery prices are never returned; the same policy refunds all service fees on its Canadian site.

Service fees may not be refunded for tickets purchased on TicketWeb.com. In no event will delivery prices or any other fees or amounts be refunded.

Donations and tips

Donations can be collected in the purchase path as an item upsell alongside merchandise and parking, settled under separately agreed terms; the pages do not state a fee on a donation or any prompt asking buyers to tip TicketWeb.

With upsells, offer fans the opportunity to purchase supplementary items including merchandise, parking or even donation collections.

Getting paidPartly

When you get the money

Money is settled rather than paid out as tickets sell: TicketWeb's own guidance tells organizers to push a postponed event's date forward so it does not settle, which ties settlement to the event date passing. No payout fee or number of days is published.

you'll want to inform the customers and then hide the event/move it to the future, so the event stays active and doesn't settle once the date passes

Your buyers’ details

Organizers see purchaser details and can mail their buyers directly: the admin has an Email to Buyers function, the door app looks up purchaser information, and the email toolset manages opt-in subscription lists.

The UK help center describes variable pricing options plus presale and discounted tickets for customers and members; the US pages do not separately name early-bird pricing, promo codes or group tickets.

Reserved seating

The Interactive Seat Map lets buyers choose visually and shows live availability, but TicketWeb describes selection by section or table for reserved-table and complex general admission layouts rather than picking an individual numbered seat.

An Interactive Seat Map is a digital version of the venue. Fans can visually select a section or table from the map to purchase tickets.

Questions at checkout

The UK help center lists collecting extra information from buyers as a client service, giving an organizer its own question such as how the buyer heard about the event; the US pages do not say whether questions are set per ticket or per order.

Embedded Checkout turns TicketWeb purchase links into a pop-up on the organizer's own site, switched on by a toggle in the WordPress plugin or one line of code, with card data going to TicketWeb's processors rather than the site.

Add-ons

Item Upsells put merchandise and parking in the purchase path so a buyer adds them to the same cart and pays in one combined transaction; the upsells themselves are set up by TicketWeb's client services team first.

Once the upsells are set up in the system by the Client Services Team, you can add the upsell to desired event(s).

Refunds and transfers by buyers

Refunds and exchanges are generally prohibited after purchase, and refund requests on a postponed event go to a TicketWeb email address rather than a self-service tool; passing a ticket to a friend appears only as a transfer mentioned in the privacy policy.

Policies set forth by Event Providers generally prohibit us from issuing exchanges or refunds after a ticket has been purchased

Measurement is documented only for sites TicketWeb builds, where it wires the site to Google Analytics and reports sales back to both dashboards; no page describes installing a Meta or Google ads pixel on a checkout you did not buy from TicketWeb.
