💷 What Is the Difference Between a Booking Fee and a Commission?

When selling tickets through Skiddle, you can either have the customer pay the booking fee or choose to pay it yourself as a commission. Here's how they differ. 👇

The booking fee is paid to Skiddle by the customer.

As standard, the booking fee is 10% of the ticket face value plus 27p.

For a £20 ticket, the booking fee would be £2.27.

A commission is when the promoter chooses to pay the booking fee to Skiddle on behalf of the customer.

The commission rate is the same as the standard booking fee: 10% of the ticket face value plus 27p.

This can be a useful promotional tool, allowing you to advertise your tickets as "Booking Fee Free" to customers. 🎟️✨

For a £20 ticket, the commission would be £2.27.

💡 Tip: Choosing to pay the booking fee as commission can make your ticket price more attractive to customers, particularly when promoting your event as Booking Fee Free.
