Sources & methodology
Competitor pricing sourced from each provider's published pricing pages and help centers (Quicket: quicket.co.za/sell-tickets and help.quicket.com; Howler: howler.co.za; Webtickets: webtickets.co.za). Where a provider publishes fees ex VAT, this is indicated. VAT (15%) is additional where applicable. Pricing is subject to change — please verify on the provider's site before relying on these figures. Last verified: April 2026.
Quicket's fee comprises a 2.4% (ex VAT) ticketing service commission and a 2.5% (ex VAT) payment processing fee, plus a R7.50 (ex VAT) booking fee per ticket which is paid by the ticket buyer by default and may be absorbed by the organiser at the organiser's option.
