Your comedy club shouldn't pay a punchline tax on every ticket.
Eventbrite charges 3.7% + $1.79 per ticket — nearly $3 in fees on a $15 open mic ticket, multiplied by every show, every week, every month. Equaticket charges a flat subscription. Same price whether you sell 50 tickets or fill the house every night.

The problem you know too well
You run shows three, four, five nights a week. That's hundreds of tickets a month — and on most platforms, every single one comes with a fee. A $15 ticket becomes $17.85 for the audience. A $30 headliner ticket becomes $34. Your regulars notice. You notice.
Per-ticket fees are a tax on consistency. The more shows you run, the more you pay. The more successful you are, the more the platform takes.
How Equaticket works for comedy
Weekly shows, one flat price.
Whether you’re running 4 shows a month or 20, your Equaticket subscription is the same flat fee. $29/month on Starter for smaller clubs, $79 on Growth for high-volume venues. No per-ticket math, no fee anxiety before every show listing.
Your audience pays face value.
A $15 ticket is a $15 ticket. No "$2.49 service fee" at checkout. Your regulars — the ones who come every Thursday — will notice. And they’ll appreciate it.

The math
A comedy club running 12 shows/month, averaging 80 tickets at $20 each:
| Platform | Monthly platform cost |
|---|---|
| Eventbrite (~16%) | ~$3,056 |
| Ticket Tailor ($0.85/ticket) | ~$816 |
| Equaticket Growth | $79 |
That's nearly $3,000/month back in your pocket on day one.
