Common commission models

You can pay a fixed amount per ticket, a percentage of net revenue or a bonus for targets. The model should be easy to understand and audit.

  • Fixed amount per ticket sold.
  • Percentage of net revenue.
  • Bonus after reaching a target.
  • Different commission by ticket type or sales phase.

Common mistakes

The most common mistake is calculating commissions on unpaid sales or reservations that never attended. Another problem is not excluding refunds or changed statuses.

Commission should be based on confirmed data and available for review before payout.

Automate without losing control

Automation does not mean paying without review. It means the system calculates sales, commission and ranking so the organizer can validate clean information.

Eventium reduces manual work by connecting promoters with real event sales.

Frequently asked questions

Should commission be calculated on gross or net revenue?

Define it clearly. Many organizers prefer net revenue to protect margin after fees and refunds.

What happens with a refunded ticket?

It should be excluded or deducted from commission unless you agreed otherwise with the promoter.

How do I motivate top promoters?

Use visible rankings, targets and bonuses. Transparency usually improves performance and reduces conflict.
