Every session books out before the door opens. The platform shouldn't take a cut of that.
Escape rooms sell fixed-capacity sessions at $25–$40 per person. At those prices and volumes, Eventbrite's fees add up to thousands a month across a multi-room venue. Equaticket charges a flat subscription. Your booking revenue is yours, every session, every room, every day.

The problem
Fixed capacity and premium prices make platform fees add up fast
An escape room with two rooms running six sessions a day at four players and $28 a head doesn't see the platform cost until they add it up: 960 bookings a month at $0.99 a ticket is nearly $1,000 going to TicketSpice before anyone sets foot in a room. On Eventbrite's model that's closer to $3,500.
Escape rooms command premium pricing because they deliver a premium experience. A ticketing platform that scales its fee to your success is a penalty for doing the job well. Equaticket's mission is to end per-ticket fees. A flat subscription that doesn't change no matter how many sessions you run.
How it works
How Equaticket works for escape rooms
Time-slot booking with per-room capacity.
Set the maximum players per session and Equaticket closes the slot when it fills. No overbooking, no manual availability management, no front-desk calls to check open times. Each room runs its own booking calendar.
Flat cost no matter how full your rooms get.
Starter at $29/mo covers up to 750 bookings per quarter for newer or smaller venues. Growth at $79/mo handles up to 3,000 per quarter. Your platform cost is a fixed line item, not a variable that grows when you raise prices or add a new room.
Embed booking on your escape room website.
Put your room calendar directly on your site with the Equaticket embed widget. Guests pick their time slot, pay, and receive their QR code, without leaving your page. Your brand, not a third-party marketplace.
QR confirmation at the door.
Scan the QR code in each guest's ticket email to confirm instantly. No printed reservation lists, no searching names, no delay before the session starts.
Private bookings and group pricing.
Sell private room buyouts at a different price from general admission. Promo codes for corporate groups, birthday packages, and repeat customers. Set up every pricing tier your rooms offer with no added fee per ticket type.
Platform comparison
The math
An escape room with 2 rooms, 6 sessions/day, 4 players avg at $28 per person, 20 operating days/month:
| Platform | Monthly platform fees |
|---|---|
| Eventbrite (~13%) | ~$3,570/mo |
| TicketSpice ($0.99/ticket) | ~$950/mo |
| Equaticket Growth | $79/mo |
That's enough to build out a new room or hire another host.
