Service Fees

Last Updated: August 17, 2026

This page sets out the current fees charged by Gatherings LLC dba Gaytherings ("Gaytherings," "we," "us," or "our") in connection with the Services. It is the fee schedule referenced in our Event Terms and Conditions and Organizer Agreement, and should be read together with those documents. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in our Terms of Service.

Listing an Event on Gaytherings is free. There is no subscription and no monthly minimum. Fees apply only when a sale is made.

1. Online Ticket Sales

Two fees apply to paid ticket orders placed through the Services:

Gaytherings Service Fee: 4% + $1.30 per order. The Service Fee is charged once per order, not per ticket — an order containing six tickets incurs one Service Fee, calculated on the order's ticket total.

Payment Processing Fee: 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. Charged by our third-party Payment Processor to process the payment.

Who pays. For each Event, the Organizer chooses how these fees are allocated: the Organizer may absorb them in full, pass them on to the Attendee in full, or split them equally with the Attendee. Any portion passed on to the Attendee is included in the total price displayed before purchase, as described in our Event Terms and Conditions.

Free tickets and free Events incur no fees.

2. Nonprofit Rate

Approved nonprofit organizations pay a flat Gaytherings Service Fee of $1 per order, with no percentage taken from ticket sales. The Payment Processing Fee of 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction still applies. All other features and terms are the same as for standard Organizers.

The nonprofit rate is granted by Gaytherings on a case-by-case basis. To request it, contact us at support@gaytherings.com with information about your organization, including evidence of your nonprofit or charitable status. We may request supporting documentation, and we may withdraw the nonprofit rate if an organization no longer qualifies or if it was obtained on the basis of inaccurate information. The nonprofit rate applies to orders placed after approval; it is not applied retroactively.

3. In-Person Sales (Tap to Pay)

Sales made in person through our organizer tools, including Tap to Pay — tickets, door admission, bar, merchandise, coat check, or any other item — are charged a single rate of 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction.

This rate is always paid by the Organizer and is never added to the amount the attendee pays. There is no subscription and no additional hardware cost.

4. Fees on Refunds

How fees are treated when an order is refunded, including for canceled Events, is described in our Event Terms and Conditions. In summary: the Payment Processing Fee is retained by the Payment Processor and is not refundable; the Service Fee is refundable only in the circumstances described in the Event Terms and Conditions, including where an Event is canceled or where Gaytherings cancels an order.

5. Currency and Taxes

Unless otherwise indicated, all fees are stated in U.S. Dollars. Fees are exclusive of any Taxes that may apply to a transaction, which are treated as described in our Event Terms and Conditions.

6. Changes to Fees

We may update our fees from time to time. Changes apply prospectively: orders are charged the fees in effect at the time the order is placed, and a fee change does not affect orders already completed. Material changes will be communicated to Organizers in advance through the Services or by email. The fees on this page are the current rates referenced by our Event Terms and Conditions and Organizer Agreement.
