I use Eventbrite to host and organize events for my company. Some of these events are free and some of the events I charge a fee to attend. I find it very helpful that I am able to copy events and duplicate them for future use since they are similar events that take place throughout the year. Having an organized system that allows me to collect attendee information and when appropriate attendee admission fees have been incredibly valuable for me and my team. Eventbrite gives me the flexibility to host as many or as few events as needed and their mobile organizer app means I do not have to be tied to my computer at all times.
- I can host as many or as few events as needed without any upfront commitment or fee
- I am able to collect important guest details at the time of registration by using customer questions
- I am able to embed the Eventbrite checkout widget onto my company website so that attendees never have to leave my website in order to register for my events.
- The onsite check in app is fast and easy so I can quickly welcome guests to my event and know they have registered and paid ahead of time, drastically cutting down on lines.
- The reserved seating functionality is clunky and hard to use. It is not very flexible and has given me serious pains in the past for these specific types of events where I want guests to be able to pick a specific seat at a table for a gala.
- The fees can be out of control for events that have a high ticket price. I rarely use Eventbrite for events that cost more than $100 because they charge entirely too much money.

Great for free events, but they hold funds for paid tickets
We produce a weekly online show involving a fireside chat and networking. Eventbrite is great for creating a landing page and registration for this weekly show--and it's free. We also produce in-person events and have used Eventbrite in the past for our paid ticketing. However, now Eventbrite changed their payouts to only pay event producers after an event closes. Our monthly events are starting this fall. Unfortunately we had to find another ticketing platform for our paid in-person events because we can't sustain cash flow with Eventbrite holding our cash for six months or longer. And there's no interest on the cash Eventbrite holds. Each event has around $50k in ticket sales.
- Creating landing pages that stand out and are trusted.
- Communicating with attendees pre and post event.
- The integration with Zoom is good, though there were some recent changes that have confused our attendees on our weekly virtual show.
- Offering other options for merchant processing--Stripe, PayPal, Square, etc.
- Hard to repurpose the weekly events for replay viewing. Have to copy the event and replace the online link with the video link to Youtube.

Eventbrite delivers a great templated event experience that allows robust data and customization.
We use Eventbrite across the organization to schedule and register guests for events across 40 communities monthly and quarterly. It allows us to customize and collect information from our community members and track who participates and where to focus efforts for future content and events.
- Makes the event creation process easy but customizable.
- Provides a standard template for events (ours and others) that users can easily navigate to get the information they need.
- Reports and data are easy to access.
- The event template can start to feel boring and simplistic (not beautiful).
- Plugins are not always QA checked or are buggy.

Meets all Political Event Needs
We're a PAC (political action committee) which hosts events for our own fundraising, candidates' outreach, and raising political participation among AAPI (Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders). We've a need of open enrollment for all manner of attendees and complex guestlist administration since some / most are repeats, some are new (Young Professionals we want), some are special guests (require data confidentiality), and some are staff (sponsored or fee-free or other) with need to edit, filter, and sort the lists ongoing for trolls, vandals, special access, special notations, accommodations, etc. Eventbrite has long had the most widely known and liked UI/service for event enrollment requiring no special skills or knowledge but moreover simple, elegant, and fast UI thus better for ourselves and guests alike thus improving our branding and registration rates.
- Simple, elegant, clean UI
- Guest list admin is everything we want without excess, cruft
- System is cloud based thus requires no excess integration, admin beyond a login, link
- Affordable rates for top of class workflow
- Universally known, no friction or fear generated
- Branding is custom and sufficient to balance ours and Eventbrite's
- Complex guestlist sort features to give more fine priority
- Recognization of VIP registrants
- Host and user profiles so records can be touted if desired
- Discounts for nonprofits and charitable organizations
- Integrations preferably without Zapier
- Explicit related, recommended event controls

Easy refunds helped a lot when COVID hit!
We use Eventbrite to process registration for virtual and in-person events. We are a training and consulting organization so it helps us consolidate the signup process along with capturing the data we need for the event. Prior to Eventbrite, we were using a variety of platforms to gather the information and process payment, so it really helped put everything in one place.
- Great dashboard features to track sales
- Easy to refund purchases
- Header images and videos display nicely on desktop and mobile
- Option to remove the word "ticket" from receipts/purchases as it can cause confusion
- Better ability to register someone else for an event as the contact info is linked
- Less fees per ticket sold
April 02, 2021
Great tool for nonprofit events!
We use Eventbrite for various events--some that are free and others that are paid registrations or tickets. This is primarily housed within the marketing department and gives us an easy and customizable way to manage events. Eventbrite allows us to have an easy way to have folks sign up for events and then track attendance!
- Various ticket offers in the platform so we aren't confined to just one type of ticket
- Free events are super helpful for us on the platform for our cultivation events
- The pricing is great for nonprofits!
- Better customization for landing pages for the events would be really helpful
- We wish they would make more options free for nonprofits
- Their integration with Salesforce could be improved

Eventbrite for nonprofits
We use Eventbrite to manage monthly free events (donor engagement) and our annual fundraisers. It syncs with our donor management system and email platform very well. It is used for the development and Marketing arms of the non-profit organization. It helps manage donor contacts and contributions seamlessly.
- Ticketing with plenty of options.
- Email reminders and syncing with email service providers.
- The guest list feature isn't explained very well.
- For non-profits, it would be helpful to allow ticket purchases to be processed by alternative payment processors.

A Wonderful (and Free!) Ticketing Platform
Eventbrite is being used by the event planning arm of the college to facilitate an easier rsvp process for various events. It is able to gather the necessary information from attendees and put it all in an easy to manipulate spreadsheet. At the same time, attendees have a smooth sign-up process that looks and feels more professional than something like a Google form. It is able to send automatic confirmation emails, and can also issue tickets. I've found that this software saves us a tremendous amount of time while still having an elevated feel for the users.
- Very professional looking -- makes your event feel well run.
- Automates various messages, like confirmation emails and reminders.
- It would be nice if Eventbrite had a demo function to show you just how detailed you can get. Some features can be difficult to locate, or even know that they exist.

Eventbrite has been a reliable online ticketing gateway for 8 years!
Eventbrite has been used this year and previously for registering individual attendees for a professional development and networking conference, across the whole organization. It's a pretty efficient ticket sales and donation gateway for the size events this organization produces.
- Options for creating specialized demographic-gathering questions. Great for post-event analytics about attendees, which is also helpful for future event planning.
- Coding for ticket discounts and complimentary passes. We have many guest passes that need unique codes. This saves the event staff from manually registering specialized individual ticket sales. It also enables drilling down for post-event analytics.
- Clean design layout. Simple to set up, simple for attendees to navigate.
- Drilling down through order details can be a bit tedious.
- Setting requirement switches for some customized customer questions may seem complicated.
- Badge creation has limited design options.

Great for small to mid-sized events!
We are a real estate brokerage which regularly hosts classes, panels, and social events. Our marketing department uses Eventbrite to promote these events, collect contact & other information, and for checking in guests at the actual events. From time to time, these events require a paid ticket that we handle through Eventbrite's payment system.
- Collecting guest information with custom options available.
- Creating a list of past attendees can be re-targeted for future events.
- Integrating with other marketing platforms like Facebook and MailChimp.
- I'd like to see a separate section to access ticket options from the dashboard so they are much easier to edit when needed.
- When doing paid tickets, the Eventbrite fees and payment processing fees can really add up.
- The event pages have looked the same for quite some time now so some refreshed page templates would be great.
- Refreshing the email templates.
We use Eventbrite to handle registration for most of our ticketed events. The School of Music utilizes it the most, as they host many concerts throughout the year, but we use it for conferences and other events hosted by other departments. Eventbrite was a huge improvement over our old/non-existing event management processes. The registration, payments, attendee communication, and sales reports are all unified. It's saved hours for each event we run and delivers a much more professional user experience on both the front and back-end of the event registration process.
- Easy to create professional-looking event registration pages with multiple ticket types.
- Allows us to create promo codes for discounts or access to hidden ticket types (for employee-only pricing, etc).
- It allows us to accept at-the-door payments as well as online payments.
- Integrates with many other services we use such as Mailchimp and Facebook.
- There are a few quirks that have prevented me from changing a certain element on the order form, the payment process, or other event info after the event has been published. If we need to make a change mid-stream, either we're stuck or we have to delete the event and start over.
- The pricing is approaching the "There's probably a cheaper alternative we should look into" territory. Thankfully we are grandfathered into their more affordable pricing scheme, but I had to steer away from Eventbrite on a different project because the features I needed were pay-walled behind a pricing tier that didn't make sense for my client.
- The Facebook Events integration is great, but beware of the fine-print that prohibits marketing to any attendees who purchased through the Facebook link.

Events are a breeze with Eventbrite.
We use Eventbrite to sell tickets to our events and to handle registration and check-in at our events. We used to do a list in Excel, and Eventbrite has allowed us to go digital, accept credit cards, and even do some marketing to those who have attended events in the past.
- It's easy to use.
- You can copy previous events.
- It has a nice payment processor.
- Higher fees for the payment processor than cash.
- There are some limitations to the way an event can be structured.
- Sometimes there are little buttons that make big changes to an event without warning.

EventBrite is the best option for our team!
Eventbrite is used by our team to host a conference with over 1000 attendees. With a phenomenal level of customer support and user-friendly design, Eventbrite enables us to set up the event, register attendees, communicate with participants and solve many other tasks that would be extremely difficult without a management platform. My overall experience is positive!
- Register participants for an event.
- Send notifications, reminders, and messages to attendees.
- Mobile check-in - Creates bar-code scanning for attendees to check-in.
- Syncs with other event platforms (like Sched).
- Track data and collect custom information (ranging from the number of attendees all the way to feedback).
- Integration with social media - Helps with communication to social media platforms.
- Creates nametags.
- It offers a great help center.
- Eventbrite just streamlines so many processes.
- The app has limitations compared to the website, but it is still functional and offers many features.
- I think Eventbrite could use some more customization features (especially in email templates on the website).
- Although not a con necessary, just be aware that Eventbrite will take a percentage from each ticket if it's a paid event. This is something to consider if cost/profit is a priority.
Eventbrite is used throughout our division as the go-to solution for RSVP management, guest lists, ticketing, and general event management. It is a convenient and intuitive tool that takes away the hassle of inviting and contacting guests for an event. Beyond our division, Eventbrite is heavily used across the whole organization because of its reputation and familiarity on campus.
- Intuitive interface that allows for quick event setup
- Variety of options when creating order form, allowing for helpful data collection of guests
- Easy to send an email to all attendees at once, if necessary
- Design options and customization have room for improvement
- Embedding feature is somewhat lacking
Our organization uses Eventbrite to organize and promote our monthly professional association meetings. We use it to create the event details and description, to monitor registrations as people signup, and to tie into our Social Media promotion via Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, and via our website. We also use Eventbrite to tie back to MailChimp which we use to send our event invites via email, and to feedback new registrants not previously signed up to our mailing list. We use the Eventbrite app or website to check people in as they attend our events to measure registrations vs attendees.
- Event management--providing a detailed description of the event (date, time, place) plus details of the event (speakers, topic, sponsors, etc.)
- Registrations--provides enough details about people who register, and tools to manage those registrations (add people manually who didn't pre-register, cancel orders, check-in of attendees)
- Event promotion--events created using Eventbrite can be found by searching Eventbrite for local events
- Social Media: I promote my events on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The Twitter link to use is in one place, the Facebook integration/link is totally different and in a separate place, and LinkedIn isn't even considered. I create a tracking link for LinkedIn, but your tracking links don't provide the information I want.
- Google Analytics: Because your integrations and tracking links are so lacking, I have to use a more complex tool to track the information I want--where did people see my event, and where are they signing up from? It seems like a simple thing to determine, yet I still don't know the most effective means of communicating my event to people to drive people to register.

Easy Entry with Eventbrite
I have past experience working with Eventbrite. My experience was using Eventbrite for different events across the whole organization as well as externally. It provides organization and accountability as well as an efficient process management. Eventbrite is also easy for anyone to use and adapt to.
- Eventbrite is simple and easily accessible if you have the app downloaded on your device.
- The layout of the application is also very easy to follow which makes it simple for everyone.
- It is nice that all the information that you need, maybe for an event, is already uploaded to the application, and you do not have to do much.
- Because of the simple layout, sometimes there is trouble scanning the barcode and there is no way to blow up the image or change the view.

Eventbrite is a great asset for event planners!
Our organization utilizes Eventbrite to promote and coordinate events hosted by multiple departments. We collect registrations and payments (if applicable) for events. I like how Eventbrite allows you to customize options and to get important information from registrants. We are easily able to export this information into reports that make our events run smoothly! I also appreciate that Eventbrite promotes events that are open to the public with their "Events Near Me" feature.
- Collects pertinent info from event attendees
- Promotes events that are open to the public by syncing with social media platforms
- Makes the registration process easy for attendees and organizers
- The only glitch we have ever had with Eventbrite was related to a discount code, but we were able to fix it relatively easy by contacting their support center.
Eventbrite is used by our marketing team for running several different types of events. We use Eventbrite exclusively for our annual summit, quarterly local meetups, and roundtable (10-12 person events in regions). Eventbrite helps us market the events and provides a trusted link that our clients are comfortable with using to pay for their tickets. Eventbrite saves us time and money since we don't have to build unique webpages for each event. It also facilitates payment, which is a huge help for us. Eventbrite allows us to collect payment quickly and easily.
- Eventbrite is a well-known and trusted place for purchasing tickets. That trust helps us sell tickets. It also eliminates the need for integrating some other payment system into a webpage, which would be the alternative.
- Eventbrite makes sending invitations easy. Upload contacts and using contacts from a previous event is very straight-forward. Building emails is simple, since there are a couple of prebuilt templates.
- Discount codes and strategic pricing structures are a significant part of our marketing for events. Eventbrite makes it easy to offer discount codes. We also create several ticket types that include multi-ticket discounts, early-bird type specials and more. Each of which help us reach our audience at the right time with the right price.
- I'd like to see Eventbrite add more customization to the event page layout. It would be nice to be able to differentiate our event through more specific design.
- I've had occasional problems with email formatting in the Eventbrite email builder. It would be nice to have a slightly more trustworthy builder.
- Other than those two things, I think Eventbrite does exactly what it needs to do.

The Gold Standard in Event Management
Eventbrite helps by eliminating the struggles and complexities of event registration through the use of its user-friendly platform and intuitive features. Attendees can find the information they need, the ticket types they want, and process their registration within minutes. Eventbrite also provides a robust solution for both free and paid events.
- Event creation and attendees registration.
- The tool allows you to send the invitations, check on bounces, and review who has clicked & RSVP'd.
- Being able to manage waitlists, multiple ticket types, reimbursements, and custom order forms, all through the application.
- Eventbrite could be better with third-party integrations (i.e. Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) rather than its own website.
- Sometimes it can be difficult to get in contact with support which causes delays in having issues resolved.
- It would be great if the analytics were more robust and expansive.

EventBrite gets your events right!
I used Eventbrite during an internship I completed in summer of 2016. It was used across our organization, and was primarily used by interns facilitating with our event. It was very useful in helping us organize a social event and allowed us to track event registrants. Eventbrite was very helpful in allowing us to estimate and send reminders to our event attendees. One important business problem it helped addressed was payment. Eventbrite identified how many attendees were using PayPal to order, and provided us order numbers for reference.
- Eventbrite allowed us to send reminders to those who registered. This is a strength, as it certainly helped us increase event attendance.
- Eventbrite allowed us to track how many organization members and non-members were attending our event. This allowed us to observe how we were able to increase awareness for our organization (by attracting many new non-members).
- Eventbrite allowed us to track order numbers. This was especially useful in allowing us to provide strong customer service to individuals who had questions about their payment and registration confirmation.
- Eventbrite allowed us to provide one email for event registrants to contact with any concerns. The option to provide multiple emails to contact would have been more efficient to allow for quicker responses.
- Eventbrite allowed gave event registrants the opportunity to visit our organization's profile on Eventbrite, which was useful to inform individuals about our organization. It would have been helpful for us to allow registrants to view profiles for featured guests at our event as well.
June 03, 2016
Why I like Eventbrite
We hold professional trainings, and use Eventbrite to publicize the events. We use Eventbrite as a medium for others to see the event, register for the event, get email reminders for the event, check in the day of the event, and to pull data from after the event.
- Email Reminders
- Check In
- Pulling Reports
- Creating customized links
- Having a chat option for customer service

Eventbrite in a Nutshell
Eventbrite is used for Partner events when we want a third party ownership of the event. It is also used when we want to have multi-day programs because the architecture of the offerings is better than our house built system.
We use it for one off programs not our main offering and we tend to use Eventbrite for free events more so than our paid.
We use it for one off programs not our main offering and we tend to use Eventbrite for free events more so than our paid.
- Great job at allowing our events to hit a new audience
- Setting up and managing an event is really easy, especially with the sign in features
- The API allow us to pretty easily pull all of the data on ur signups which other companies tend to resist building
- The API could be built to include waitlist data
- I found it difficult to pull money back to our banks considering the large number of accounts and programs we have
- It is hard to know how much our traffic and audience fills the class and how much comes through eventbrite marketing and efforts
We used Eventbrite in our organization in our department to reach out to the public on events we were holding across the state. It helped us keep track of the amount of attendees, made them aware to the location and time of events, and let us develop relationships with the public sector.
- Tracking of attendees
- Event detail page and tickets sales are exquisite
- Letting others share the event
- User friendly interface
- Excellent and professional looking design
- Non-profit version should be available for a lower cost on ticket sales
- Difficult beginner learning curve
- Not 100% customizable

Eventbrite helps us Throw a GREAT Customer Dinner Event
Eventbrite is being used by the marketing department. I have used the program for both paid events and unpaid events. It is easy to use, easy to edit and keeps its users very well informed of registrations. I have used it several times within the past few years and I have recommended it for others to use. It is low cost and can fill many needs for event management. I love how it is very customizable for event pricing, dates etc.
- The pricing for your event can be customized by different levels of pricing based on main registration or a guest registration. It also can have date breaks so you can use early bird type registration and last minute registration with different pricing based on date registering.
- It is important that you can edit the event throughout the process of it being live. Sometimes you need to change things up or add a new pricing level and Eventbrite lets you make edits throughout.
- The overall process to set up is very intuitive. You don't need to watch a 30 minute video to figure out how to create and manage an event. Anyone can do it by following the steps.
- It is always a plus if there are many options for templates and color/theme customizing.
- I do not recall there being a social share type function with tracking but that would be helpful.
