NOTE: Eventive cannot advise on any customer’s tax questions. Please contact your tax adviser for more information.
Standard Festival Fees
Standard Festival fees apply to pass sales and physical event tickets. You have three options:
Pass Fees Onto Customer (pass purchaser pays 100% of credit card fees)
Absorb Fees (your organization pays 100% of fees)
Split Fees (you'll choose the percentage you absorb/they pay)
There are certain restrictions you can place on those passed fees including absorbing specific fees OR capping the fees your customers pay.
NOTE: Standard Festival fees only apply to online orders of pass sales & physical event tickets. If you are selling passes or tickets to physical events using the Box Office, these fees will not apply. To pass fees on during these transactions, use the optional Box Office fee.
Virtual Festival Fees
DRM unlock fees are charged on all virtual screenings that include ingested content and do not apply to anything except ticket orders.
If a ticket is PAID, this fee is collected at the point of sale.
If a ticket is a passholder reservation or otherwise complimentary/unpaid, this fee is reported as a deferred fee (since there was no paid transaction to collect on) and will show up on a monthly invoice.
To help offset the fact that standalone virtual tickets incur both the Transaction Fee and the DRM Unlock Fee, you can add a flat fee to virtual ticket unlocks here.
You can also add Sales Tax or select Report GST/VAT in the Fee & Tax Settings section.
