Timed-entry & class booking is coming soon. We're polishing this feature and it isn't open for new setup just yet. You can still run single events and recurring event series on Equaticket today, with the same flat subscription and no per-ticket platform fees.
Winter events shouldn't come with a holiday surcharge from your ticketing platform.
Holiday markets, tree lightings, winter wonderland events, and New Year celebrations run on tight seasonal windows. Per-ticket platform fees during your busiest weeks take money that should go into making the experience better. Equaticket charges a flat subscription. Budget it in October and know the cost through January.
The problem
Seasonal events need predictable costs, not per-ticket surprises
A winter event selling 2,500 tickets over the holiday season at $25 average is looking at ~$8,797 in Eventbrite fees, money that could have paid for additional lighting, a better entertainment lineup, or a larger vendor footprint.
Winter and holiday event organizers operate in a compressed window where every decision compounds. Equaticket's flat subscription gives you a ticketing cost you can plan around: $79/mo on Growth, paid monthly with a 3-month minimum, is sized for 1,000 tickets a month on average and gives you 3,000 at a time. Lock in your ticketing budget in October and know the exact cost going into the season.
