The Platform Fee Explained
Clubs should prioritise providing value over profit on their Day-Passes. Your aim should be to secure optimal deals and deliver excellent value, thereby incentivising teams to visit.
The profit opportunity lies in the platform fee.
Example:
Tournament Example
Host a 1-pitch tournament (8 teams, 09:30 - 18:00)
Assumptions:
- • 8 teams total (2 home teams + 6 visiting teams)
- • Average team size: 15 players
- • Day-Pass price: €40 per person
6 visiting teams × 15 players × €40 = €3,600 to organise the event
Your Profit:
6 teams × €50 - (€5 fee × 6)
90 players × €2.50
Additional Costs to Consider
When setting your Day-Pass price, remember to account for: First aid, referee costs, trophies & medals, entertainment, and volunteer expenses. These are your responsibility as the host.
