    Where Eventbrite is stronger

    • A far bigger audience and a well-known brand with buyers.
    • Reserved seating with seat maps.
    • Door sales from its Organizer app, and paid email marketing tools.
    • Payouts in around 20 countries.

    Where we're different

    • Our booking fee is 6.5% with a 50p minimum, against Eventbrite UK's 6.95% + £0.59 per ticket.
    • You can price in Caribbean currencies such as TTD, JMD, BBD and XCD.
    • Our scanner works offline, which matters at beach and outdoor venues.
    • Event discovery sits beside a Caribbean community feed and carnival calendar.

    What we haven't built yet

    We are in beta, and we would rather you hear it from us. Not available today: payouts to Caribbean bank accounts; promo codes, vouchers and marketing emails; team member invites with roles; reserved seating and seat maps. The full list is in what's coming soon for organisers.
