- Your Strobo plan
- Organizer · $590 a year, billed annually · $0.06 a ticket
- Where the difference goes
- Your fans pay $2.82 less per ticket. After your plan you keep $3,905 less a year.
- Or raise your price
- Set the ticket at $27.77: your fans pay $28.52, the same as today, and after your plan you keep $22,370 more a year.
Stripe's standard rate here is 2.9% + $0.30 of the whole payment. Over a year that is $3,315 more than the buyer's service fee brings in; the difference comes out of your payout and is already counted above.
How we count
Your ticket price stays as it is. On Strobo the fan pays it plus the service fee, 1.6% + $0.30, and nothing else. We add up the fees on a year of tickets, whoever pays them: on the platform you pick, its fees; on Strobo, the service fee. Your plan is not a fee on the ticket: the per-ticket row counts the whole ticket price on your side, and the plan comes off the yearly figures. We count the plan as you pay for it: for the year at once, at its annual price (ten months' money for twelve). It is the cheapest Strobo plan for your volume over the year, including $0.30 per ticket above a plan's limit, charged each month, when that beats moving up. Stripe's standard rate here is above the service fee's 1.6%, so part of Stripe's fee comes out of your payout; that part is counted on your side. The fee's fixed part is charged once per order; we count it on every ticket, as if every order had one ticket, and we leave out a platform's own per-order charges, so our side is not understated. A platform's fees are counted as its note above says; a fee you pay is counted without VAT. Negotiated rates are not public and not counted. Each platform's source and the date we read it are on the methodology page.
Where you pay the platform's fees today, we count Strobo the same way: the event is sold without the service fee, the fan pays the ticket price, and your payout is the ticket price minus fees, counted at the standard rate in your market.
Payouts
Ticket money never touches Strobo.
Strobo sells through Stripe Connect with direct charges. Each payment is created on your own Stripe account at the moment of sale, and Stripe pays it out to your bank on your account's schedule. There is no Strobo payout date, because there is nothing for us to pay out.
Strobo$0.00We connect the sale to your account. We never hold the money.
Example: the order above
We can't hold your money
Charges are created on your Stripe account. Strobo can't withdraw or hold that money.
No waiting for the show to end
Payouts follow your Stripe account's schedule, not the date of your event. Connect Stripe early: a new account's first payout takes 7 to 14 days.
Your name on the card statement
Checkout shows buyers the name that will appear on their statement, the one on your Stripe account. A charge people recognize is less likely to be disputed.

Side by side
Strobo vs commission ticketing.
Commission platforms charge a fee on every ticket, usually a percentage plus a fixed amount. Here is what changes with a monthly plan.

Who builds it
Built by a promoter.
I spent years on the promoter's side of the door, booking artists, paying deposits and counting the room at 2 a.m.
Strobo is the ticketing I wanted back then. A monthly price instead of a cut of every ticket. Payments in my own account, with no platform in the middle. And a list of the people who came, so the next night is easier to sell.

FAQ
Questions promoters ask first.
What is Strobo?
Strobo (strobo.events) is a ticketing platform for live music: concerts, club nights, tours and festivals. Organizers pay a monthly plan from $0 and Strobo takes 0% of the ticket price. Each payment is created on the organizer's own Stripe account.
How much does Strobo cost?
Strobo is free for one event at a time, with up to 200 tickets. Paid plans cost $59, $119 or $229 a month and include 1,000, 4,000 or 10,000 tickets. Annual billing gives you two months free, and above a paid plan's limit each extra ticket costs $0.30.
Does Strobo take a commission on ticket sales?
No. Strobo takes 0% of the ticket price on every plan, Free included. We earn the monthly plan fee. The only per-ticket charge is $0.30 for each ticket above a paid plan's monthly limit, billed to you and never taken out of ticket sales.
What does the ticket buyer pay on top of the ticket price?
One service fee: 1.6% + $0.30 per order in US dollars, paid to the organizer. Strobo takes no commission and keeps none of the fee. Stripe's fee comes out of your payout; its standard US rate is 2.9% + 30¢.
Who pays Stripe's card fee?
Stripe takes its fee from each payment on your Stripe account, as it does for any Stripe merchant. The buyer's service fee is paid into your account together with the ticket price, and Strobo keeps none of it. Stripe's fee comes out of your payout. It depends on the card and the country: premium and foreign cards cost more, and in the US Stripe's standard rate is 2.9% + 30¢.
When do I get the money from ticket sales?
Each payment is created on your own Stripe account at the moment of sale, so Strobo never holds your ticket money. Stripe pays it out to your bank on your account's payout schedule. Stripe's first payout on a new account takes 7 to 14 days, so connect Stripe well before your on-sale.
How is Strobo different from Eventbrite, DICE or Resident Advisor?
Eventbrite, DICE and Resident Advisor charge a fee on every ticket, whether the promoter or the fan pays it. Strobo charges a monthly plan and takes 0% of the ticket price, creates each payment on your own Stripe account, and gives you your full buyer list to export. Your event page shows your event and nothing else.
What's included in the Free plan?
One live event at a time with up to 200 tickets, cards and wallets at checkout, and the offline door scanner. No card needed. Once your event has taken place you can publish the next one, and drafts are unlimited. Sales never stop in the middle of a drop, and Free never runs up a bill.
Do I need a Stripe account?
Yes. You connect one during setup, which takes a couple of minutes. Stripe verifies your details before you can take payments, processes each payment on your account and pays out to your bank.
How do refunds work?
You refund orders from the order page in Strobo. The payment was made on your Stripe account, so the refund comes out of your Stripe balance and goes back to the buyer's payment method. If the event is sold out, the returned ticket is offered to the next fan on the waitlist.
Who owns the buyer data?
You control it. Every buyer and follower lands in your People list with their marketing consent recorded, and you can export it as a CSV file at any time. Under GDPR you are the controller of that list and Strobo acts as your processor. We don't sell personal data or use it for advertising.
How does check-in at the door work?
Door staff open your event's door link on their phone and enter a PIN you issue. The QR scanner runs in the browser with nothing to install, and it keeps working without signal: scans sync when the phone reconnects. Staff see the scanner and the guest list, never money or orders.
