Eventbrite App

What it does

Eventbrite helps people find events, register or buy tickets, and keep event details together. Its listings cover activities organized by many different hosts, so it can suit someone looking for things to do nearby as well as someone who already knows which event they want to attend. The app is published by Eventbrite and is listed in Entertainment.

Finding and keeping track of events

Users can browse recommendations, search and filter listings, and save events they may want to attend. Event pages provide information to help people assess an event before booking. The app also keeps tickets in a dedicated area, with an option to save them to a phone wallet. That makes it useful for managing plans after checkout, not just for discovering them.

Who it suits

This is a general-purpose event guide and ticketing app, rather than an app for one venue, performer or organizer. It is a practical fit for people who want to compare a range of local activities in one place, or who need a central spot for tickets they have booked through Eventbrite. Social features let users follow friends and organizers and share events; these are optional parts of the experience, not necessary to use the app for tickets.

What to consider

Eventbrite has more than 10 million installs and a 4.87-star rating from about 219,000 ratings, suggesting substantial use and strong user feedback. One important consideration is that when someone buys a ticket or registers, the information they enter is provided to the event organizer so the organizer can manage the event. People should take that sharing into account when deciding what details to submit. Event availability and the usefulness of recommendations will also depend on the listings and organizers active in a user's area.
