Hi everyone! What is your favorite ticketing/registration tool? If it’s not a full on event platform and if it’s not Eventbrite, what’s yoru choice? (paid/unpaid)
@EventPlanner689 awesome, thank you! 🙏
really comes down to use case and stack, since most of the halfway decent ones are differentiated by pretty nuanced stuff
if you don’t need a full on event platform and just want ticketing, i’ve actually been liking hubspot forms lately (there are some stripe plugins for paid events). tickettailor is also a nice basic embeddable option with good UX
thank you, Elijah! I agree, it’s case by case. I’m just working on a list of widgets for different scenarios for myself to see what’s new out there and what others prefer and why. I do like Hubspot too, it kinda almost has everything you need and most companies already using it by default for other purposes anyway. I’m just blown away by Eventbrite fees (applied per zip code now apparently), I believe Stripe is still at %3 per transaction?
Yeah, a lot of the per-registrant fees these days are pretty nuts. ~3% sounds about right for stripe (and their competitors), although there are a lot of levers with them and if a company uses them for all their payment processing, the rates are usually better
fair, this type of businesses need to be more flexible when it comes to customer loyalty. The eventbrite I just run into charges 8.7% of off the total ticket price, I haven’t used it for a long while so I’m curious if this is something organizer sets up on the backend per location b/c their standard fees aren’t that high 🤔
Check out Pheedloop as well
@EventPlanner293 do they sell the ticket widget separately from the platform?
Avid Splash That user here! Would highly recommend.
Any recommends for a free ticketing platform similar to eventbrite that charges less than EBs fees?

Hi all! I'm on the search for amazing Splash designers. I see a lot of impressive Splash pages and would love to replicate some of them for upcoming retreats. Any referrals would be greatly appreciated! (I did get a referral from Splash however he's no longer doing freelance)
Looking for recommendations on professional conference apps for attendees. Needs to have a good sponsor/partner capabilities and bulk upload/import options for sessions and speakers. Would be great to have a speaker portal too. Right now we use Pheedloop and it’s good. Just looking to see what else is out there TIA!!
Can anyone recommend a reg software for a one day, all general session meeting for 200 pax? We need standard meeting items- speaker bios/photos, agenda, ticketing, comp codes, etc. Didn’t know who might be good for a one off event.
Hello! I'm curious if anyone has recommendations for event management platforms or solutions they currently use and find effective. Currently, we utilize SplashThat, but we're in need of a meeting booking tool to streamline space management onsite. Specifically, we're seeking a tool that enables both our team and the sales team to efficiently oversee multiple meeting spaces during events, beyond what Calendly offers.
For instance, we envision a calendar-like booking system where sales team members can easily identify available meeting spaces during their scheduled meetings, similar to Outlook's meeting booking feature, but accessible to all stakeholders. It's important for both marketers and myself to have backend access for internal management. Currently, we're considering GTHR, but I'm open to any recommendations!! TYSM
Does anyone have a rec for digital badge vendors and curious your experience with these...are they worth the price?
Hello! could someone here recommend a good and comprehensive registration tool, besides Cvent? Thank you so much in advance.

Hey everyone! What in-person event technology is still out there that people like for registration and on-site event management?
hi! a client needs some sort of platform/tech to send out individual QR codes to all of them to act as their event "ticket" day of. Any recommendations for something so simple that doesn't cost a fortune? We want to be able to track who came vs. who didn't using these individually distributed QR codes.
does anyone have rough pricing for eventbrites 400+ guest registration site? need a solution that will act as my reg page plus generate unique QR codes for each guest....400-500 guests
Hi all. Has anyone used https://splashthat.com/ for invites / registration / etc. but used an alternative system for onsite badge printing? Their badges are pretty basic and I'm looking for something a little more high tech but want to make sure the systems are compatible. Thanks!
Can anyone recommend an alternative to Eventbrite, now that they've changed their pricing structure? I host a range of small community events- larger corporate parties, but typically not exceeding over 350ppl. Thanks!
does anyone have a solution they love for booking appointment slots at an event (e.g. office hours where people can book a 20 minute slot, or headshots where someone can book one of five availabilities in a given time slot)?
everything i’ve experimented with is pretty clunky for this use case. whether it’s something more meetings-focused like calendly or doodle or something more services-focused like setmore or picktime, they’re all more suited to showing ongoing availability rather than something one-time.
any great options that i’m missing?

Hi everyone. Anyone use Eventbrite for free events? I see they're changing their pricing packages, but it's unclear if that is applicable to events that do not charge attendees anything. thanks!
Hi all! Im curious, do folks have an event tech platform they use for splash pages, event registration, and emails that they really love and offers high levels of customization/branding? Also that connects to Marketo/salesforce? I'm all ears 🙂
I’m working on a redesign of our conference websites and looking for some inspiration! Does anyone have examples of other event sites that they love?
