Service Fees (How We Make Money)
At MKtix.com, we are keenly aware of the budget constraints facing nonprofits and community-based organizations. Our unique pricing structure provides a valuable service to patrons who pay a small, clearly identitifed, service fee well below what is typically charged for online tickets. We offer this service with no set-up fees or long-term commitment requirement.
SERVICE FEE - CHARGED TO PURCHASER
Our typical fee structure is as follows:
- Tickets $10 and under // a $1.50 per ticket fee is charged

- Tickets between $50 and $74.99 // $4 per ticket charged
