Eventbrite is an online event management software that provides a comprehensive platform for creating, organizing, and promoting different types of events. It enables users to successfully manage events from the beginning including registration, ticketing, payments, and after-event surveys and polls.

The software solution was launched in 2006 in San Francisco, California and became the first major player in the United States for web-based event management systems. Eventbrite is able to integrate with other marketing platforms such as MailChimp, Dropbox, Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce, and Zoho. Event creators, whether small- or big-scale, can benefit from the Eventbrite’s features by easing the event organization process as well as by driving ticket sales.

Eventbrite Features

Event management and planning

This feature provides you with instructions on how to set up your event beginning with your basic information and event details. Your event page can then be shared on Facebook, and can also be sent to the emailing list you included in the form.

Mobile applications

There are two different Eventbrite mobile applications that cater to both the event organizer and the guest.

Mobile ticket application

Event guests can download the Eventbrite mobile ticket application and use the barcode generated from the application to gain access to all events managed through the Eventbrite software system. Your guests will get up-to-date information on events that interest them, which they can share with friends through their Facebook or Twitter accounts.

Event check-in application

This application allows the user to control the event using a mobile phone. You can edit the event details, as well as check on your ticket sales in real time. Portable devices such as a scanner or card reader can be attached to the mobile device for ticket scanning and guest check-in at the event entrance. Actual tickets can also be printed using the Eventbrite printer that you can attach to your mobile phone.

Fundraisers

Eventbrite partnered with Fundly in order to aid users in organizing and collecting donations for fundraising events. The Fundly app can be downloaded from your Manage page so you can create your fundraising page. In addition, when registering your free event, there is a ticket option to ask for donations.

Integrations

Eventbrite is integrated with applications in several categories such as HubSpot under Customer Relationship Management or CRM, MailChimp for Email, SurveyMonkey for Productivity, Facebook for Marketing and Promotion, Google Analytics for Reporting, The Events Calendar for Website, and Ticketprinting.com for Tickets and Onsite.

Event listing guide

This feature will support your event by helping you make it searchable on the web. There are several parameters to consider for a topic or website to make it to the top of Google’s search list. There is a limit to the number of characters that you can include in your event title. Also, good visuals, complete details, and visibility to the public are crucial for your event to be noticed instantly.
