FYI Tikly ticket fees are set-up like so: $1 is added for tickets under $10, and 10% is added for tickets $10-$75. Tickets costing over $75 get a flat $7.50 fee. That's it. No icky hidden stuff.

Next, the "guest list" tab shows who's coming to your event, number of tickets sold, and the dollar amount made so far. Have this list handy at the door in order to check in your guests.
