The short answer

For the example below, charge about $17 a ticket.

That covers $200 in costs for 15 people and leaves $50 profit; the break-even price is $13.34. With One Ticket’s booking fee passed on, buyers pay $18.32 and you receive $17 a ticket.

This is an example, not a quote or an average: use your own costs in the calculator below.

Tips for a yoga class

Price for the class you expect on a quiet morning, not your best one. A series or term price rewards the regulars who come every week. If the class is outdoors, say up front what happens when it rains.

The booking fee

One Ticket adds a booking fee at checkout: $1.32 on a $17 ticket, paid by the buyer, so you receive the whole price. It is the same on every plan, free tickets carry none and the Free plan has no monthly cost. See One Ticket pricing.
