  • Hard copy tickets. They make it very easy to customize and order hard copy tickets for your events.
  • Ease of event setup.
  • Good customer service
  • Accounting Reports. They are not very concise.
For non-profits running free trainings, Brown Paper Ticket is great because there are no fees for using the service for this, whereas most other event registration software charges a per transaction fee.

I wouldn't recommend it if you are hosting a conference or other event where there are breakout sessions that you need to register people for.
