10 of the best online ticketing platforms for event planners

1

Eventbrite

It is one of the most famous platforms and for good reason. Eventbrite allows you to create events easily and in a matter of seconds. It is free to use for free events and charges a small percentage of each ticket sold in paid ones.

Bizzabo

Bizzabo does everything aside from serving you tea (although they assure me they’re working on it). This is a fully fledged platform that allows you to manage every aspect, at every stage of the event planning: Create a landing page, sell tickets, email attendees and run reports at the end of it all. They also offer an event app as part of their all-in-one offering.

Ticket Tailor

The whole premise of TicketTailor is that unlike other platforms they don’t charge fees per ticket sold, but instead charge a flat monthly rate. The rates start at £19 for up to five active events and 250 tickets per each.

TicketSource

The good: Straightforward and easy to use. The bad: UPDATE* We previously talked about their return policy but I was kindly informed by the people at TicketSource UK that I had been linking to their US counterpart. Here’s the British cancellation policy.

Ticketbud

Like many of the platforms on this list, Ticketbud allows you to promote and sell your tickets. It offers lower fees than its competitors and it’s also got a cool little tool that allows you to calculate revenue according to ticket pricing.

Brown Paper Tickets is one of those love them or hate them companies. On the plus side, they offer 24/7 customer service in three(!) languages and no fees to event producers. On the con side, there are quite a few stories of event goers not happy with the service. Yikes!

7

Picatic

‘Bring people together’ is Picatic’s slogan. It’s pretty simple, but it works. Some of the highlights of Picatic is how user-friendly it is — not technical skills required — and even if you have a problem with the software, there will be someone to help you out thanks to its amazing customer service.

SeatAdvisor

Seat Advisor is one of the platforms with the most years in the business and the longest list of customers. They’ve worked with people all over the world to promote and organise their events. Interesting fact, they were the first to provide interactive SeatMaps including the view from the seat.
