What do booking fees cover?

These fees simply cover the cost of processing a booking from start to finish – the only revenue we generate – including:

Retail distribution (websites, call center and customer service)

Payment processing

Technology solutions (scanning you in at the venue)

Ticket fulfillment (printing, packing and distributing tickets)
