Zeffy does not take a ticketing fee, a platform fee or a card fee, and that does not change as you sell more or as your event grows. What funds Zeffy is an optional contribution buyers can add at checkout, and your total is the same whether they add one or not. A £40 ticket means £40 reaches your bank account.
That matters most at the cheap end. A per-ticket fee takes a far bigger bite out of a £5 quiz night ticket than a £50 gala seat, and that is usually where the sums stop working for a small charity.
Yes. Add as many ticket types as your event needs, each with its own name, price and description. Group tickets let you sell a full gala table, a family ticket or a discounted bundle in one purchase.
Yes, and you can cap it three ways: a total for the event, a separate limit per ticket type, and a maximum quantity per buyer. Your form stays open without any risk of overselling the room, which matters when the hall has a fixed capacity.
Yes. Add your own questions to the form for anything you need, from dietary requirements to t-shirt sizes, and ask each guest inside a group ticket their own questions. Answers come in at checkout and stay attached to the order.
Yes. Every ticket carries its own QR code, and you scan it with any phone, on as many devices as you have volunteers. Your dashboard keeps a running list of who has arrived and who has not, and a guest whose phone has died can be signed in by hand.
Download the full guest list in advance as well. Village halls and school halls are not known for their wi-fi, and a printed list is cheap insurance.
Yes. Set a ticket price to zero for free registration, or use Pay What You Can and let guests choose their own amount. You still get the full attendee list, your own questions and QR scanning on the door.
They are built for different jobs, and the difference shows up after the event more than during it. Eventbrite is built to sell tickets, and the record ends with the attendee list.
On Zeffy that same sale writes the guest into your supporter records with their full giving history, so the person who bought a gala ticket in March is the same record when they start a monthly gift in July. Zeffy also works out the donation portion of a ticket for you, once you take off the value of what the guest actually received, so your receipting stays right without you doing the sums. The rest of your event runs from the same account: silent auction bidding on guests' phones, raffle tickets, an online shop, the free Tap to Pay app for sales on the door, and QR scanning with no extra hardware.
On cost, Eventbrite's UK organiser pricing puts a 3.7% service fee on every paid ticket and 2.9% payment processing on the order. There is a flat fee per ticket on top of that. Neither platform charges anything on a free event, but from the first paid ticket onwards Zeffy still charges nothing at all. Our Zeffy vs Eventbrite comparison has the fee-by-fee detail.
Yes. Buyers get an automatic confirmation with their tickets, you can send reminders before the event and thank-yous afterwards, and refunds are handled from the order itself. Wider updates go out through Zeffy's newsletter tool.
Yes, all from the same Zeffy account. You would set up a ticketing form for entry and tables, an auction form for the silent bidding, a raffle form for the draw, and a donation ask built into the ticket form for guests who want to give more.
One gala night can otherwise mean a ticketing site, a bidding app, a paper raffle book and a spreadsheet to tie the three together. On Zeffy it all reports into one dashboard, and every supporter shows up as a single record across the lot, so you are not reconciling four exports the week afterwards.
Not on the ticket itself. Gift Aid cannot be claimed on ticket or item purchases, so an event form does not carry it on the price of a seat. What a guest pays to come to your dinner buys them a place at it, which is not a gift.
The extra donation is a different matter. Turn on additional donations on your ticketing form and, once your account is connected to Swiftaid, Gift Aid is offered on that donation, with the declaration confirmed at checkout. It applies to the additional donation only, never to the ticket. Two other things to know: Gift Aid is enabled across your whole account rather than form by form, and it is not available on payments taken through the Tap to Pay app, so a card taken on the door will not carry it.
With Zeffy's free event ticketing software for charities, you can be selling tickets in minutes. Build your ticketing form, add your ticket types and prices, connect your bank account and share the link. From there your tickets go out by email the moment someone buys, and your guest list builds itself as they come in.
On the day you can keep selling on the door with the free Tap to Pay app or your form's QR code, so a supporter who turns up without a ticket still gets in. Fewer people carry cash to a fete or a quiz night than they used to, so taking a card on the door is often the difference between that ticket being sold and not.
