What is the best free platform to sell fundraiser tickets?

Zeffy is the only ticketing platform built for not-for-profits that is 100% free: no platform fee, no transaction fee, no credit card fee. Ever. Every dollar from every ticket reaches your cause.

How do I price fundraiser tickets?

Set the ticket price to cover what the guest receives, such as the meal at a gala, then invite supporters to add a donation on top. Many events also use sponsor tiers such as $500, $1,000, and $2,500 that bundle a few seats with extra recognition.

Are fundraiser tickets tax-deductible for buyers?

Generally not. In Australia a gift has to be voluntary with nothing material received in return, and a ticket buyer receives the event, so the ticket price is usually not deductible. A donation added on top of a ticket can be deductible if your organisation is DGR-endorsed and the gift is $2 or more. Special rules apply to some fundraising events, so point buyers to the ATO guidance or their own tax adviser.

How much do other platforms charge for fundraiser tickets?

Australian ticketing platforms charge a percentage of each ticket plus a per-ticket fee, and even the not-for-profit rates come out of your event. On a 100-ticket event at $50 a ticket, that is real money leaving your cause. With Zeffy the same event keeps all $5,000. Rates move, so check each platform's current Australian pricing page before you compare.

Can I sell fundraiser tickets online and during the event?

Yes. Share your ticket link in advance and keep it live on the night, so late buyers can pay from their own phone and get a scannable e-ticket instantly.

Can I create VIP, group, or sponsor tickets?

Yes. Add unlimited ticket types, including general admission, group, VIP tables, and sponsor tiers, each with its own price and description.

Do I need a template to make fundraiser tickets?

No. Zeffy automatically generates branded, numbered e-tickets the moment someone buys, so there is nothing to design or print.
