How Movuca Saves Event Organizers 47% on Ticketing Fees

Table of Contents

When Maria Santos organized her first electronic music event in São Paulo, she was shocked by traditional ticketing platform fees. Between the 10% commission and R$4.99 per ticket, she was losing almost R$15 on every R$100 ticket sold.

“I had to choose between charging higher prices or accepting lower profits,” Maria explains. “Neither option felt right for building a community around music.”

Most event organizers don’t realize how much traditional ticketing platforms actually cost:

Other platforms: 8-12% + R$3-6 per ticket

Movuca’s Transparent Pricing:
