Source: https://www.fooevents.com/pricing/ ## Key features - **Tickets on WooCommerce:** Event tickets are WooCommerce products, sold through the checkout, payment gateways, taxes and coupons you already use. - **Check-in apps:** A free Check-ins app for iOS and Android scans attendees in at the door. - **Seating and bookings:** Add-ons offer seat selection, bookable time slots and multi-day events; some are only in the higher bundles. - **Custom attendee fields:** Collect extra details per attendee and export the list for badge printing or a CRM. - **Branded tickets and stationery:** HTML and PDF ticket themes, plus a builder for badges, labels and wristbands from attendee data. - **Point of sale:** The POS extension sells tickets at the door; it is included only in the Point of Sale Bundle. ## Good for - Organizers who already run a WordPress and WooCommerce site - Sellers who want no per-ticket commission from the platform - Agencies building ticketing sites for clients ## Worth knowing - Runs only inside WordPress with WooCommerce installed; it is not a hosted ticketing service. - Each domain needs its own license, and the license covers 12 months of support and updates, after which a subscription must stay valid to download updates. - You still pay your payment gateway's own processing fees, and you host the site yourself. - The page states a 14-day money-back guarantee; there is no free plan or trial. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. FooEvents adds ticketing to a WooCommerce site, with no cut taken per ticket. Bundles run $169 to $399 a year per site, there is no free plan, and the plugins only work on WordPress that you host. - **Value for money: B.** $169 a year for one site on the Basic Bundle works out near $14 a month, in the cheaper quarter, but it needs WordPress hosting as well. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial. A 14-day money-back guarantee isn't a trial. - **Features: B.** Tickets, check-in apps, seating, bookings, attendee fields, ticket themes and a point-of-sale add-on. Which parts you get depends on the bundle. - **Ease of use: D.** It needs a WordPress and WooCommerce site that you host and maintain. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web with free iOS and Android check-in apps, built on WooCommerce and its payment gateways.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/event-ticketing ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace FooEvents you would be making checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 44 of the 79 other event ticketing platforms grade higher. It costs $169 a year. - You could make: QR codes: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. - You could not: Selling tickets and checking them at the door. - You could not: Scanning barcodes with a phone camera or a scanner. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
