Event Tickets is a practical WordPress option for RSVPs and paid admission, with a free plugin and a path to premium registration and check-in. The current sales page markets wider product bundles, so verify the exact ticketing entitlement and fee rules instead of assuming every advertised feature is included in the entry bundle.
The current vendor page advertises Essentials, Pro and Elite ecosystem bundles. A current standalone Event Tickets Plus price was not established, so do not equate the bundle starting price with that license.
The current Tickets Commerce documentation lists a 2% platform fee for free-plugin Stripe and Square payments, plus processor charges. The platform fee is waived with Event Tickets Plus.
WooCommerce, custom attendee fields and app check-in are paid capabilities. Confirm the exact bundle, site count and offline requirements before purchase.

| Plan | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Free Event Tickets plugin | $0 license | RSVP and ticketing on WordPress. Stripe and Square through free Tickets Commerce add a 2% platform fee plus processor charges. |
| Essentials ecosystem bundle | $259/year | Current wider product bundle entry price; confirm its exact Event Tickets entitlements. |
| Pro ecosystem bundle | $399/year | Current page advertises no-commission sales, WooCommerce, attendee forms and QR app check-in. Confirm licensing scope. |
| Elite ecosystem bundle | $599/year | Adds further ecosystem features; confirm seating and email-marketing entitlements relevant to this event. |
Event Tickets adds RSVPs and sales to WordPress and can operate without a separate calendar plugin. Its premium path is relevant when the event also needs detailed attendee fields, commerce extensions or mobile admission.
Read the current bundle entitlements alongside the payment documentation. The free plugin’s platform commission and the paid app’s requirements are more useful budgeting facts than an unqualified no-commission headline.
