### Sales partnership    

For large or complex events involving paid tickets, Eventbrite also offers customized plans tailored to your specific needs. You need to contact the vendor to learn more about this partnership.          

## Total cost of ownership

When evaluating Eventbrite for your event management needs, it’s important to consider the total cost of ownership (TCO), including the upfront costs and any additional one-off or recurring costs. Here’s a breakdown to help you understand all potential expenses:

### Upfront costs

Upfront costs are the initial expenses incurred when purchasing or subscribing to the software. These costs may include licensing, installation, setup, and training-related expenses. Setup fees typically include customization, data migration, configuration, training, and installation charges.

Eventbrite does not have any upfront costs. You can create and manage events on the platform without paying any fees. It's a cloud-based platform, which means you can access and use it directly through your web browser without needing to install any software. Eventbrite also offers extensive documentation and support resources that can help you and your team understand the platform's features and functionalities, reducing the need for external training. 

### Additional costs to consider 

Data migration, staff training, third-party integrations, and maintenance and upgrades are some of the most common additional costs across different vendors, so it’s important to factor them into your budget. 

Eventbrite does not charge hidden fees for data migration, third-party integrations, or maintenance. However, it is important to note that Eventbrite charges a service fee per ticket sold for paid events. This fee varies depending on the payout country. For example, if you’re in Australia, the service fee would be 5.35%+A$1.19 per ticket sold. Likewise, in the United States, the service fee is 3.7%+$1.79 per ticket sold. By default, the ticketing fee is paid by ticket-buyers. However, when you create a paid ticket type, you can choose who will pay the fees. 

In addition to the service fee, Eventbrite charges a payment processing fee. This fee is also usually passed on to the ticket buyer, but you can choose to absorb it. You can check the official Eventbrite website to understand the complete service and payment processing fee structure.

#### Services needed to implement or manage the platform

Eventbrite offers a vast knowledge base of articles, tutorials, and frequently asked questions (FAQs) covering a wide range of topics. You can either search for specific issues or browse through categories. In addition to the self-support option, the software offers email, chat, and phone support for specific queries on creating or managing events. You can also reach out to the team through direct messages or public posts on social media channels. 

Additionally, Eventbrite conducts webinars, where you can ask questions from specialists. These webinars offer tailored guidance to help you optimize every aspect of your event planning and execution.  

#### Internal resources needed for ongoing platform management

Depending on the scale and complexity of your event management operations, you may need to dedicate some resources to:

-   **Event planner:** A dedicated event planner can help you oversee and manage the entire event planning process, including budgeting, scheduling, and vendor management.
    
-   **Marketing specialist:** A marketing specialist may be required to develop and implement a comprehensive marketing strategy to promote your events, and optimize your Eventbrite event page for better visibility.
    
-   **IT support:** An IT manager can provide technical support during the event, including troubleshooting any issues with the ticketing system, Wi-Fi, or other technology.

Here are some considerations you should keep in mind when choosing the best Eventbrite pricing plan for your business:

_Key considerations while choosing the right Eventbrite plan_

-   **Assess your business needs.** To select the right Eventbrite pricing plan, you need to assess your business needs by considering factors such as the frequency and scale of your events and your target audience size. If you host infrequent events or have a smaller audience, the Free plan might suffice. However, for frequent events, larger audiences, or advanced marketing needs, upgrading to the Pro plan might be beneficial. Nearly 87% of small business event management software reviewers on our website say registration management is essential in event management software, while 86% consider event scheduling as an important feature.[\[3\]](#footnotes)
    
-   **Consider your budget.** Evaluate and consider your budget carefully when selecting an Eventbrite pricing plan. The Free plan is an excellent option for small events with minimal marketing needs. However, for larger events or advanced features such as high-volume email marketing and priority support, you may need to upgrade to a paid Pro plan. Determine the level of features and support that aligns with your financial constraints. Remember to factor in additional costs such as payment processing fees and potential marketing expenses when making your decision.
    
-   **Compare the features of each pricing plan.** To select the right Eventbrite pricing plan, carefully compare the features offered by each plan. The Free plan provides limited marketing email sends and basic features such as event creation and ticketing. However, the Pro plan offers advanced features such as high-volume email marketing and priority support for all paid and free events. By comparing the features of each plan, you can identify the specific functionalities that align with your event's needs and select the plan that offers the best value for your investment.

## Is Eventbrite right for you?

### Assessing your requirements

Choosing the right Eventbrite plan requires careful evaluation of your specific needs. Start by identifying the key aspects of event management that are most important to your team. Ask yourself the following questions:

-   **How often do we need to host events**? To select the right Eventbrite pricing plan, consider the frequency of your events. If you host events infrequently, the Free plan may be sufficient for your needs. However, for frequent event organizers, a paid plan can offer significant benefits, such as advanced features, priority support, and cost savings through volume discounts. By evaluating your event frequency, you can choose the plan that provides the best value for your investment.
    
-   **How many marketing emails do we wish to send per day?** Consider the volume of marketing emails you plan to send per day. If you anticipate sending a large number of emails, a paid plan with a higher email sending limit, like the Pro plan, would be more suitable. However, if you only need to send a small number of emails, the Free plan might suffice. By assessing your email marketing needs, you can choose the plan that best aligns with your marketing strategy and budget.
    
-   **Which features are essential to our business?** To select the right Eventbrite pricing plan, consider which features are essential to your business. If you primarily need basic event creation, ticket sales, and attendee management, the Free plan is ideal. However, if you require advanced features such as high-volume email marketing and priority support, a paid plan is necessary. By evaluating your business's specific needs and prioritizing essential features, you can choose the most cost-effective plan that delivers the desired value.
    
-   **Do we need priority support for events?** Before finalizing the right Eventbrite pricing plan, consider whether you need priority support for your events. If your events are critical to your business and require timely assistance, a paid plan with priority chat support can be beneficial. This ensures faster response times and dedicated support from Eventbrite's team. However, if you can manage with standard support or have a lower volume of events, the Free plan might be sufficient.
    

To make the best choice, we recommend further exploring Eventbrite’s pricing plans and features in detail.

#### Methodology

1.  Review excerpts are passages extracted from longer reviews written by verified reviewers. We obtain these excerpts by applying an algorithm that considers factors including, but not limited to, length, topic coverage, and thematic relevance. Excerpts are evaluated for positive or negative sentiment and receive a sentiment score. Excerpts represent user opinion and do not represent the views of, nor constitute, an endorsement by Capterra or its affiliates. Excerpts are not edited for clarity or grammar.
    
2.  Our research team identified these features from vendor websites (as of Dec. 13, 2024) based on their analysis of what users find valuable or expect from event management software. This list is not exhaustive. For additional features, refer to the vendor’s website.
    
3.  To identify the key features, we asked users to rate, on a scale of “low importance” to “critical,” how important different features are for event management software. The features showcased are those that the highest percentage of reviewers rated as “highly important” or “critical” over the past two years (as of Dec. 13, 2024).
