Frequently Asked Questions
Luma charges 5% per paid ticket on their free plan. Their paid plans ($59-$150/month) reduce fees but still limit features. Ticket Spot charges 0% platform fees on all plans - you keep 100% of ticket revenue.
No. Luma is focused on community events and RSVPs and doesn't offer any seating chart functionality. Ticket Spot includes a drag-and-drop seating chart builder for theaters, venues, and stadiums, from the Business plan up.
No. All Luma events are hosted on lu.ma and you cannot use your own domain. Ticket Spot lets you connect your own custom domain from the Business+ plan up, so attendees only see your brand URL.
No. Luma doesn't integrate with Shopify or Wix. Ticket Spot offers a native Shopify app (with Ticket Selector App Block) and a native Wix app in the Wix App Market.
Ticket Spot is built around ticketing rather than community discovery, so the two are not a like-for-like match. The closest equivalent is the multi-host event marketplace on the Platform plan, where other organizers submit events for your approval and you earn a revenue share on tickets they sell. Alongside it you get ticketing features Luma lacks: time slots, seating charts, Klaviyo integration and full white-label branding.
