Honest Limitations

The sales channel changes the fee

Free listings and LeadFeed advertise zero commission, while corporate enquiries from the HeadBox team start at 10%. The venue terms define commission against the applicable event cost.

Subscriptions have renewal terms

For contracts signed from January 2026, the published terms use the ordered initial end date, or 12 months if omitted, then renew for 12 months unless either party gives at least 30 days' written non-renewal notice. Your order form takes precedence.

Conversion tools add separate costs

The venue pricing page quotes 3D-tour and conversion products separately and says annual hosting is not included.

Pricing Breakdown
Plan Price Details
Venue listing Free; 0% commission on direct listing enquiries A listing route for venues; distinguish this from corporate enquiries handled by HeadBox.
LeadFeed Quoted annual subscription; 0% LeadFeed commission Numeric subscription prices are not publicly confirmed on the current pricing page.
Corporate venue enquiries / demand generation From 10% commission The current venue terms specify 10% of the applicable event cost for demand-generation bookings; confirm the order form and charge base.
Conversion Suite and business programmes Custom quote 3D tours, conversion options and corporate programme scope need a proposal. Annual tour hosting is separate.

Cost at Common Event Sizes

100
attendees
Illustrative £500 venue commission
Assume a commissioned booking with £50 of commissionable event cost per guest: 100 × £50 × 10%. This is hypothetical arithmetic, not a venue quote; applicable taxes are separate.
500
attendees
Illustrative £2,500 venue commission
500 × hypothetical £50 commissionable event cost × 10%; confirm the actual order form.
1000
attendees
Illustrative £5,000 venue commission
1,000 × hypothetical £50 commissionable event cost × 10%. Does not establish availability, capacity or a corporate programme price.

Hidden Costs to Watch

  • ! Venue partner charges exclude applicable sales taxes; the terms allow a card surcharge.
  • ! Include tour hosting, optional conversion tools and contract renewal in the venue budget.
  • ! A subscription buys the agreed service; do not assume a guaranteed booking volume.

HeadBox serves two related buyers: the company arranging events and the venue seeking business. Corporate teams should evaluate proposal handling, contracts and spend reporting together.

Venue operators should compare each enquiry channel separately. The free listing, LeadFeed subscription and commissioned corporate routes have different economics, and the signed order form matters more than an older customer review.
