Why Charities Are Using Sprouter Event Ticketing

Maximize Donations with Lower Fees

Most traditional ticketing platforms siphon off a large portion of revenue through service fees and payment processing. Eventbrite, for example, charges 3.7% + $1.79 per paid ticket in the U.S., not including payment gateway costs. By comparison, Sprouter’s Pro+ Plan charges just 1% + $0.30 per ticket—capped at $5, plus standard payment processing. For high-value tickets, this can save organizers up to $2.26 per ticket.

For a $100 ticket, here's what the fee comparison looks like:

  • Eventbrite: ~$5.49
  • Sprouter Pro+: $1.00 (capped fee) + $0.30 = $1.30
  • Estimated Savings per Ticket: $4.19

With those savings, a 200-person fundraising event could net over $800 more—funds that go directly to your cause, not the platform.

One Simple Platform = More Efficiency, Less Stress

Juggling bio links, QR codes, landing pages, and ticketing tools? Sprouter consolidates all of it. Manage your event registration, marketing materials, mobile landing pages, and attendee engagement from a single, user-friendly dashboard. Charities no longer need multiple subscriptions to platforms like Linktree, Flowcode, and Eventbrite. With Sprouter, it’s all built in.

From ticket sales to check-in to post-event analytics—Sprouter covers the full journey:

  • Customizable QR codes and bio-links to promote events across social channels
  • Scannable digital tickets for contactless check-in

This streamlined environment enhances Operational Efficiency, reducing manual errors and allowing smaller teams to punch above their weight.

Amplify Impact with Real-Time Analytics

Sprouter’s Unified Analytics Layer gives charity organizers visibility into every stage of the funnel. Know which marketing channels are working, track attendance trends, and optimize future events based on behavioral insights like ticket abandonment or peak check-in times.

This data doesn't just tell you what happened—it guides smarter decisions:

  • Forecast revenue with predictive analytics
  • Test different CTAs or pricing models (e.g., “$25 donation ticket” vs. “$20 early bird”)
  • Drive repeat attendance using post-event messaging and loyalty tools

Whether you're a small local nonprofit or a national charity, Sprouter’s modular pricing and feature stack scale with your needs. Plans start free, with advanced ticketing and analytics tools available in Pro tiers. You can choose to pass fees to attendees, absorb them, or opt for a hybrid model—giving you flexibility in how you present pricing to your donors.

And when you’re ready to scale:

  • Use Dynamic QR codes on event flyers and posters to drive traffic
  • Enable direct messaging for donor follow-up or event reminders
  • Leverage white-labeled pages to maintain a consistent brand experience
