Fees
Simple, flat pricing. Free events and free RSVPs cost nothing. For paid tickets, SURGE charges a flat $1.75 per ticket plus card processing at cost (2.9% + $0.30).
What buyers pay
Organizers choose who pays. By default the buyer pays the fees and the organizer keeps 100% of the ticket price. Organizers can instead absorb the fees so buyers see one all-in price.
| Ticket price | Fees | Buyer total |
|---|---|---|
| $20.00 | $2.63 | $22.63 |
| $35.00 | $3.07 | $38.07 |
| $75.00 | $4.23 | $79.23 |
Everything else
Add-ons and deals use the same per-ticket fee. There are no monthly fees and no fees on comps. Ambassador commission is set by the organizer for each event and is paid out of the ticket price, not added on top for the buyer.
