Speedways compete on thin margins. Your ticketing platform shouldn't be taking a lap of your gate revenue.
Speedways and race tracks run on gate revenue, grandstand sales, and pit pass income. Per-ticket fees from platforms like Eventbrite come out of every admission across every race night. Equaticket charges a flat subscription: the same predictable cost whether you're running a regular race night or a championship finale.
The problem
Race track economics are tight. Platform fees make them tighter.
A speedway selling 3,000 admissions at $28 average per race night is looking at $8,400 in Eventbrite fees for a single event. Multiply that across a season of race nights and the platform is one of your larger operating costs, competing with track maintenance, safety equipment, and official fees.
Local and regional speedways run on narrow margins with passionate local fan bases. Equaticket exists to end per-ticket fees so the gate revenue from loyal race fans goes to running a better show, not to the ticketing company.

Platform comparison
The math
| Platform | Platform fees per event |
|---|---|
| Eventbrite (~13%) | ~$8,400 |
| TicketSpice ($0.99/ticket) | ~$2,970 |
| Equaticket Growth | $237$79/mo, 3-month minimum |
Equaticket is a flat subscription, not a per-event fee, so that comparison holds cleanly for one race night: 3,000 admissions is all 3,000 that Growth gives you at a time, with no headroom left over. Run more than one race of this size within the same 3 months and you need to add up total admissions across the season. Growth gives you 3,000 at a time, Pro 10,500. $8,300 saved on a single race night is track maintenance, official fees, and safety equipment; a season with several races that size saves far more once you're on the plan that actually covers your total volume.
