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 $10 and $24.99 // $2 per ticket charged
- Tickets between $25 and $49.99 // $3 per ticket charged
- Tickets between $50 and $74.99 // $4 per ticket charged
- Tickets between $75 and $99.99 // $5 per ticket charged
- All inclusive. No other fees!
Compare this to existing national ticketing services which charge updwards of $8 per ticket AND add additional fees per order. We also actively market your events through our MKtix family of websites at no charge.
FEES ARE CLEARLY MARKED
