Can I use Eventbrite to collect monies for workshops/programs?

Expand

Eventbrite is an event management website that is approved by the University to accept online registrations and payments by credit card. Eventbrite is free to use for events/programs that are free. There are no monthly charges, enrollment, or set up fees.  They do charge a service fee and credit card processing fee per ticket for paid events.  The fees are determined by the type of package you choose for the event.

The packages that we frequently use are the Essential and the Professional.

Essential - will only allow you to set up one ticket and will not allow you to customize the order form.   It will only collect basic order information. The fee is 2% + $0.79 per ticket. 

Professional - you can create an unlimited number of tickets and customize order form questions. The fee is 3.5% +$1.59 per ticket.

If you allow someone to register themselves online and mail a check for payment, Eventbrite will charge a fee that will be deducted from the ticket sales. Registrations with a check mailed directly to you or comped tickets can be added manually to the Event with no fee.

We use the check payout method to receive the funds from the ticket sales.  All checks are to be made payable to the University of Maryland.
