Farm experiences are hard enough to run without platform fees taking a cut of every pumpkin.
Corn mazes, pumpkin patches, apple picking, and harvest festivals operate in a short fall window with high family traffic. Per-ticket fees at that volume take real money out of operations. Equaticket is a flat subscription. Know your ticketing cost before the season starts..

The problem
Fall season agritourism runs on tight margins and short windows
A farm selling 3,000 tickets over the fall season at $22 average is handing Eventbrite $6,600 before a hay bale is set. That's labor cost for the season, that's infrastructure maintenance, that's the investment you made in the attraction.
Agritourism farms operate in a few concentrated weeks of peak revenue. Per-ticket fees hit hardest exactly when you're busiest. Equaticket is on a mission to end that model: a flat subscription means your best weekend doesn't cost you more than your slowest one.
How it works
How Equaticket works for agritourism
Timed-entry booking.
Sell entry by date and time window with capacity per slot. Spread families across the day instead of creating a gate backup at opening. Slots close automatically when full, with no manual management.
Family ticket types.
Adult, child, toddler free, farm animal experience add-on, school group rate: set up every admission type your farm offers. No Equaticket fees per tier.
Advance cutoff dates.
Set a presale window that closes automatically before your event opens. Drive advance purchases when you still have planning flexibility and lock in attendance numbers early.
Promo codes for school groups and season pass holders.
Issue discount codes for school field trips, returning families, and partner organizations. Set usage limits and expiration dates, included on paid plans.
Embed on your farm website.
Keep ticket purchases on your farm's own site. The Equaticket embed handles timed-entry selection and checkout without redirecting families to a third-party marketplace.
Platform comparison
The math
A farm selling 3,000 tickets over the fall season at $22 average:
| Platform | Seasonal platform fees |
|---|---|
| Eventbrite (~15%) | ~$6,600 |
| TicketSpice ($0.99/ticket) | ~$2,970 |
| Equaticket Growth (one month) | $79 |
$6,500 is seasonal labor, equipment maintenance, or next year's attraction investment.
