We have to "thank" Ticketmaster for making this practice pretty much the standard in the industry. Nicknamed "Ticketbastard", it's a much hated service for adding a huge fee to their transactions. In my experience, this practice simply reduces sales. Ticketmaster gets away with it because consumers have no alternative. Event planners are better off by simply incorporating processing costs in the ticket price. For a good reason, retailers in consumer stores do exactly this.

Ticketleap is just tricking by saying service fee is paid by attendee, infact that option is available from every vendor. By not supporting PayPal, Google payment they are not giving cheaper CC processing option to the event managers. I would challenge both my competitors to match our flat $1 per ticket pricing model :) - Bala, CEO Eventbee Inc http://www.eventbee.com Now both of my competitors (Eventbrite & Ticketleap) raised money, still they can’t match with the feature set and pricing we are offering to the event managers.
