VinePass Transparency

Pricing & Fees

No hidden fees. The price you see at checkout is the final price.

A simple, transparent fee model — designed to keep great experiences accessible and our platform reliable.

Typical Booking Fee

R15 – R25 per ticket

The exact fee depends on the ticket price and is always shown clearly before you pay.

For Guests & Ticket Buyers

A small service fee may be applied per ticket at checkout — depending on how the event organiser chooses to structure their pricing.

This means:

  • The fee can be paid by the guest
  • Shared between the guest and organiser
  • Or fully absorbed by the organiser

You'll always see the exact final price before you pay — no surprises. The fee covers:

Secure payments

Your card and EFT details are protected by PayFast's PCI-DSS infrastructure — VinePass never sees your card number.

Ticket delivery

Instant email confirmation with a unique QR code per seat, plus a downloadable PDF ticket.

Platform infrastructure

Hosting, customer support, fraud prevention, and the ongoing work of keeping VinePass running.

You'll see the exact fee on the checkout summary before you confirm. Free tickets never incur a service fee.

For Event Organisers

Listing an event on VinePass is built around a single, transparent per-ticket booking fee. That's it.

  • No upfront costs
  • No monthly fees
  • No hidden charges
  • No long-term contracts
  • Flexible per-ticket booking fee options
  • Choose how fees are applied (guest pays, split, or absorb)
  • Free tickets cost you nothing

The current per-ticket fee structure is shared with you during onboarding and shown alongside every payout statement. Talk to us if you're running a high-volume series — we're happy to discuss.

Refunds

Event organisers set their own refund policies. Where a refund is granted on the ticket price, the booking fee remains non-refundable as it covers payment processing and ticket delivery costs already incurred.
