Eventbrite Review

PROS: I'm a longtime Eventbrite user, and I can't even count just how many events I've discovered and attended through this platform. I like how it has a section where it suggests events that I would likely want to attend. If you're on the lookout for free events that would allow you to meet people with similar interests as you, there are plenty of these on Eventbrite too. Enlisting yourself and reserving a ticket is just as easy as 1-2-3. You can even print out multiple copies of your ticket in case you lose them.

CONS: This platform works perfectly fine on my browser. However, there are some features that don't render well on mobile. The search feature, for example, does not work as smoothly as it would on my PC.

PROS: Having the ability to offer a number of people access to admin tasks. This is ideal whenever you're operating in an event. The processing system is a breeze. So is its credit card management system.

CONS: Dealing with a big multi-varying tickets. They can be tricky to deal with. It'll entail some knowledge and playing around with codes.

PROS: Eventbrite is one of those platforms that you would initially think that you don’t need, but you end up really liking. We’ve discovered that it is more than just a place to advertise our events in—it can support us in almost all facets of organizing an event. We’ve been able to bring a lot of people on board as admins, allowing us to delegate tasks properly. The platform has given us valuable insight on marketing too. We usually get a clear report on the performance of our campaigns, and adjust accordingly if one tactic isn’t performing well.

CONS: I don’t think that I have any beef with how Eventbrite runs its platform. However, to those who are on the market for an events platforms such as this, a word of warning: Eventbrite takes a cut from your ticket sales. The more premium your package, the bigger their percentage will be. If the price is going to be an issue for you, then this might not be the best choice.

PROS: Highly intuitive UI. You won't demand a lot of training just so you can use it. You can send out e-mails to event coming from your Eventbrite Admin protal. You have the ability to setting it to e-mail now or doing it later.

CONS: Eventbrite offers a plethora of options in generating varying reports. These can be downloaded into .PDF, .CSV, and .Excel format. Thing is, you'll need to have a bit of time playing with varying options just to acquire customized reports to suit your requirements. The issue seen here is that it won't inform you on how it's able to replace the name of available reports.

PROS: Eventbrite simplifies the whole process of managing events. Through it, we’ve been able to cast a wide net for our marketing efforts as well as increase our number of tickets sold per event. I particularly love just how accessible this is too. I can do my work either from my PC or even from my phone—it’s very convenient!

CONS: I have to admit that I’m not the most tech-savvy individual. As such, I sometimes struggle to create different ticketing tiers for our events. Their customer support can easily help me with this issue, but the problem is that they’re not always easy to contact.

PROS: Eventbrite is my go-to tool for all things events. Whether I am the one organizing the event or if I’m just browsing as a consumer, it truly is a brilliant platform that makes planning events and buying tickets easy. I love that it is so wide-reach—I can market my event to the other side of the globe. Likewise, I can also purchase a ticket for a concert, for example, that is going to happen somewhere else. It’s convenient and renders perfectly well on just about any platform.

CONS: It would be nice if Eventbrite would be more intuitive with its recommendations—even better if they would use my previous purchases as a gauge on whether I would be interested in an event or not.

PROS: If the sheer number of free events alone will not convince you to register on Eventbrite, then I don’t know what will. I’ve been using this for so long, registering to events that I feel like going to. It’s completely user-friendly and there is always an event for everybody. It’s accessible on just about any device too—mobile, PC, you name it.

CONS: A suggestion for the next upgrade: it would be nice to get notified whenever there are new events that I would likely want to participate in.

PROS: I've been utilizing Eventbrite for my event hosting and attending purposes. It makes things easier for the end-user. It happens to be my primary app for taking part in the SXSW Inteative yearly. It's easy to track all tickets for our team.

CONS: We experienced small issues in organizing the guest list through Eventbrite for check-in and printing issues. But there's nothing big that we couldn't resolve.

PROS: There are so many things that I love about Eventbrite, I honestly don’t know where to begin with this review! For one, I love how the consideration that it gives non-profit events. It’s pretty accessible just about anywhere—even on mobile! I can set-up other people as sellers too. I don’t have to be the only one to man our virtual ticket booth because there will be other uses who can also set up their own accounts. And finally, I love how there is no need to print out tickets anymore. Going paperless has never been easier!

CONS: I can only think of two things that I don’t like about this platform. First, I can’t configure it according to my preferences when selling one-day passes for a multi-day event. If I wanted to offer single-day passes to one day of an event, I’d have to offer this option on other days too. I don’t like how this platform takes a very high cut when used as a POS for event merchandise too.

PROS: Even with so many ticketing platform available online, Eventbrite remains to be at the top of my favorites list. There is always a free event (or two) that I can attend. The search capacity is very impressive as well, and I’ve never had trouble in buying a ticket for myself. I don’t have to wait too long and wonder whether my payment has gone through—their confirmation is often swift and on-time.

CONS: This issue has more to do with the event organizers than Eventbrite, but I’m going to share my experience here anyway. I purchased tickets for a falsely advertised event. When I attended, it was far from what I expected to happen, based on the description. I think a more thorough vetting and approval process has to be implemented by Eventbrite.

PROS: My team and I have come to depend heavily on Eventbrite to help us organize meetings that we can't afford to miss with our clients. With events up on Eventbrite, we can control the volume of people who will be attending, and communicate the details of the meeting in a clear and straightforward way. This is a program that operates simply but gives back ten-fold.

CONS: Eventbrite is more concerned with getting the word out about an event than the aesthetics. This isn't such a bad thing, but I do wish that we could be given more freedom to design our events page.

PROS: Eventbrite has some really insightful analytic reports regarding the consumer behavior of its users. This data has greatly impacted how we organize our events—from planning all the way to its implementation. It has completely revolutionized the way we plan and carry out events.

CONS: The price can be a little too steep.

PROS: This event-creating platform is user-friendly. It makes room for bigger customization. It's easy in promoting and keeping track of your event success regardless if it's done one time or as a full-on series. Its integrations have been a big help.

CONS: While it came with a wide range of funcitionality, there are certain advanced items that it couldn't follow. An example would be a complete customization of the whole registration process.

PROS: User format has been excellent. The way images are being laid out is great. I like how it can link to your Facebook and see other people interested or taking part of an event you're currently viewing. The scheme of color used excites your in purchasing event tickets.

CONS: I hate how you can only acquire several minutes in making a decision if you intend to purchase tickets. It'd be awesome if you're able to leave the tab open and not be in a rush to taking part in the registration process.

PROS: It was super simple in organizing my public event and getting people invited. This is especially true in a free event. They did the heavy lifting by making a professional-looking template. They even organized the attendee's data.

CONS: At first, nothing. However, if you want to utilize them in creating a paid event, their fee can be a little bit on the high end. I'd directly charge people at the door but events the events done were free so I never experienced this issue. I've frequently recommended this to my marketing colleges despite the high cost, which is included a checkout.

PROS: Its moble functionality is great. Attendees won't have to bring any document in representing a ticket. This leads to a more seamless experience especially since such festivals can last for a certain period of time. Looking to print a ticket from a printer eradicates unecessary hassles.

CONS: While the mobile version functioned exteremely well, I felt it would be a huge help in providing tickets for every multi-day event. For instance, if I started scanning a person's ticket on Friday for an event that's a weekend-long and offered a wristband for each one, the wristband is one way of confirming things. That way, someone won't easily fool me in scanning the wristbad from someone else's mobile device. Keeping tickets separated would be a big help for both the attendee and ticket-taker.

PROS: If you're the kind of person who knows what to like and you get to pick your interests according to your preferences then recommendations will constantly be preciese. It's not that difficult to seek something that would be of interest. There will constantly be free events. I happen to be new in the city and it a fantastic job in showing me to a bunch of stuff I wouldn't know about.

CONS: I can't expect of huge things that I hate with this service. Previously there were syncing issues on the things that I was working on my laptop and what I was working on the Android app. But they seem to have disappeared now. Not having the ability to viewing your location whenever you're clicking on the map is a bit inconvenient whenever you happen to be in a hurry.
