Patron Technology
PatronManager is probably best for a larger organization with a dedicated technology expert because a lot of the features require someone to understand the back end a little bit more, especially when you need help (and a lot of the webinars or feature releases are way over the average person's head!). Data mining becomes frustrating because the reporting features are very backwards. PatronManager is very user friendly on the ticketing center and its easy to train new employees on this side.

I believe this would work well for an event you were not needing to promote. Perhaps a Member's Only Event

Alternatives Considered
Patron Technology
The PatronManager user experience is far superior, and custom report-building is the easiest I have ever seen on a CRM platform. Pricing is also competitive, and customer service + support far exceeds other platforms I have used in the past.

I selected Ticket Bud over Eventbrite because I wanted to have a lower cost take out of each ticket.
