# Ticketing for trains and trolleys

Heritage railways, scenic rides, and excursion ticketing.

Equaticket is flat-subscription event ticketing with no per-ticket platform fees. Card processing (Stripe, 2.9% + $0.30) applies on every platform, including Equaticket.

## Example scenario

1,500 tickets a season at an average of $45, which is about 500 a month averaged over a year.

## What it costs on each platform

| Platform | Annual cost, card processing included |
| --- | --- |
| Eventbrite | $29,161 |
| Luma | $23,130 |
| TicketSpice | $15,570 |
| Ticket Tailor | $14,730 |
| CrowdWork | $15,630 |
| Equaticket Growth (pay monthly) | $10,578 |

Annual cost over twelve months at that volume. Rates verified October 2026; sources and method: https://equaticket.com/compare/fees.json

## Equaticket plan for this scenario

This volume lands on the Growth plan: $79/mo pay monthly (3-month minimum), $237 every 3 months, or $711 a year. It includes 3,000 paid tickets every 3 months.

Paid plans have a 3-month minimum, then cancel at the end of any month.

## Where Equaticket is not the fit

Equaticket has no reserved or assigned seating, no public event marketplace, and takes cards only through Stripe. See https://equaticket.com/llms.txt for the full list.
