You teach people to invest in themselves. Your ticketing should invest in you.
“The industry model is wrong. This is my attempt to fix it.”
Drew Connerton, Founder
Workshop and retreat organizers lose hundreds per event to per-ticket fees on events they planned, promoted, and filled themselves. Equaticket charges a flat monthly subscription, starting at $29/mo. Your revenue goes to your business, not your ticketing platform.

The problem
The problem for workshop organizers
You run a yoga teacher training. 20 spots at $250 each. On Eventbrite, that's roughly $370 in fees on a single event you filled through your own Instagram and email list. The platform found zero of those attendees. You did all the work. They took a cut anyway.
Or you're running weekly drop-in workshops at $25/person. 30 people per class, 4 classes a month. That's ~$420/month in per-ticket fees for events your regulars already know about.
You don't need a marketplace. You need a checkout page that works and doesn't take a percentage.
How it works
How Equaticket works for workshops and retreats
Flat fee, regardless of ticket price.
A $25 drop-in class and a $500 retreat weekend cost the same to sell on Equaticket. No percentage means high-price events don't get penalized.
Your website, your checkout.
Embed the ticket widget on your studio site or retreat landing page. Your clients stay in your world: they click “Register,” enter payment, and they’re confirmed. No redirect to a marketplace they don’t recognize.
Clean confirmation emails.
Attendees get a clear ticket with event details, QR code, and a simple note: "No Equaticket platform fee · Equaticket." On Growth/Pro, connect your own email domain so confirmations come from you@yourstudio.com.
No MindBody pricing.
MindBody starts at $139/month and is built for managing a full studio operation: class schedules, memberships, retail POS. If you just need to sell tickets to workshops and retreats, that's overkill. Equaticket starts at $29/mo (Starter). Growth (with real-time check-in) is $79/mo.
Promo codes for your community.
Early bird pricing, returning student discounts, referral codes: set them up in seconds. No add-on fees for the feature.
Platform comparison
The math
A wellness organizer running 4 workshops/month (25 spots each at $45) + 1 quarterly retreat (20 spots at $300):
Monthly ticket volume: 100 workshop tickets + 20 retreat tickets = 120 tickets
Monthly gross revenue: $4,500 + $6,000 = $10,500
| Platform | Monthly platform fees |
|---|---|
| Eventbrite (~9%) | ~$925 |
| Ticket Tailor ($0.85/ticket) | ~$102 |
| Equaticket Starter | $29 |
That ~$900/month savings is a guest instructor, a better venue, or the start of your retreat scholarship fund.
