What you get with FullClass.
Where FullClass works differently from Eventbrite, from Eventbrite's own website, checked in October 2026.
- No fee on each ticket. In the US, Eventbrite adds 3.7% + $1.79 to every paid ticket, plus 2.9% for card processing. FullClass is a monthly plan, and your own Stripe or Square rates apply to each sale.
- Your guest pays the price you set. On Eventbrite the fees are added to the buyer's ticket by default. On FullClass the price on your class is the price at checkout.
- Refunds that follow your policy. When a customer cancels online, FullClass works out the refund from your cancellation policy and pays it back through Stripe or Square. Eventbrite keeps its ticketing fee when an order is refunded, unless the event is cancelled.
- Gift cards and class passes. Sell gift cards and prepaid passes on your own booking page, and customers redeem them at checkout.
- Signed waivers and courses. Every person on a booking signs your waiver online. Sell a course of several sessions as one booking, and take requests for private events.
- One list of customers. Every booking adds to the same customer record, so you can see who comes back, and send your list to Mailchimp or MailerLite.
Keep Eventbrite for new people.
You don't have to leave Eventbrite to stop paying its fee on every booking. List some dates there to be found by people who have never heard of you, and book everyone else on your own page.
- Publish from FullClass. Pick the class dates and how many spots Eventbrite may sell. FullClass creates the events there and keeps them in step when you edit a class.
- Sales come back on their own. Every Eventbrite order arrives as a booking that holds its spots, so the last place is never sold twice.
- Unsold spots come back. When Eventbrite stops selling, the spots it did not sell go back on your own booking page.
- One set of reports. Eventbrite sales show in your revenue and tax reports as their own sales channel.
