No-show rate calculator
Free tickets have a 40-60% no-show rate. Paid tickets have 10-15%. Add reminders and it drops further. This estimator gives you a realistic attendance number so you can order the right F&B, print the right badge count, and stop over-booking the venue.

Why the numbers look how they do
Free events set the floor: 40-60% of RSVPs won't show. Charging even ₹500 flips the psychology and drops no-shows by half. Reminders matter more than most organisers admit — a 4-touchpoint reminder cadence cuts the no-show rate by another 8-12 percentage points. Sunday events lose 5-10 points to the weekend brunch effect. Cross-city travel adds another 10-15 points of drop-off.
Numbers here are pattern-matched from actual event data — not the Cvent-style "industry average" that ignores India's context. For deeper reading, our conference playbook covers the full reminder cadence that hits the lowest no-show rates.
