About Eventbrite
Eventbrite is one of the largest self-service ticketing and event discovery platforms, founded in San Francisco in 2006. After years as a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, it was acquired by the Italian software group Bending Spoons in a deal that closed in March 2026. Organisers build an event page, set ticket types, prices and capacity, collect payments and registration data, and check attendees in with the Organizer app. Every public event also appears in Eventbrite's marketplace, where the platform recommends events to people based on location and interests.
Under Eventbrite's current published pricing, free events carry no fees, and an optional Pro subscription adds marketing tools. Paid tickets also include a per-ticket service fee plus payment processing, which organisers can pass on to buyers; rates differ by country. Paid tools add email campaigns to past attendees, social and on-platform ads, reserved seating, discount codes, ticket tiers, waitlists, embedded checkout and reporting, and an API connects attendee data with CRMs and marketing tools.
Eventbrite works well for workshops, meetups, classes, concerts and conferences that benefit from discovery and want reliable ticketing without building anything. The trade-offs are fees on paid tickets, limited control over branding and buyer data, and discovery that brings an audience for some categories but not all. Luma is popular for community and tech events with a cleaner design, Tito and Ticket Tailor offer lower fees and more control, and Meetup suits recurring groups.
