Online ticket sales for charity event

Dnarch

Hi, I'm trying to organise a charity event, a gig raising money for Macmillan. I would like to be able to direct people to online ticket sales but am baffled by all the sites that offer this and given I want tickets to be £5 they charge a large percentage.

Anybody have any experience/recommendations of how I can sell tickets making as much profit as possible for the charity while having funds to pay the bands too?

Any advice appreciated

Eventbrite - probably the best of the online ticketing platforms just now. You can always set a 'booking fee' to be the Eventbrite costs, and it includes online sales, seat planning and allocation, electronic check-in, etc.

Unless Macmillan can suggest alternatives, I'd say Eventbrite too.

On which note, you have talked to Macmillan about this? Because if you are using a charity's name to raise funds, they need to know about it beforehand. And they may be very helpful.
