What your fans pay in booking fees.
The booking fee on one ticket, at the prices independent events sell at, on Grofomo and on the platforms that publish a rate card. Grofomo charges 7.50% + £0.25 per ticket, paid by the buyer at checkout, VAT included, with no fee on free tickets. You keep 100% of face value.

Two ways to use a lighter fee
Either your fans pay less than they did last year, or you lift your face value by the difference and keep it. On a thousand £30 tickets against Skiddle’s booking fee alone, that is around £770.
