TicketFlo vs Eventbrite

TicketFlo vs Eventbrite

Eventbrite sells the ticket. TicketFlo runs the whole guest journey around it: the CRM, the marketing, the door and the bar, on one guest record.

No platform fee for organisers. Buyers pay 1% + $0.50 per ticket.

Eventbrite is the best-known name in ticketing, and it's a solid way to sell tickets online. The difference is what happens around the sale. TicketFlo keeps one record for every guest across every event, runs automated marketing on it, sells food, drink and merch on a proper in-venue POS, gives schools and groups their own allocation portals, and lets you run your account from Claude or ChatGPT with approvals. Organisers pay no platform fee.

Why organisers pick TicketFlo

  • One record for every guest across every event, with automations built on it
  • The bar and merch desk on the same system as the door
  • School and group allocations, each with its own coordinator portal
  • Run your account from Claude or ChatGPT, with approvals for staff changes
  • Orders and refunds sync to Xero natively
  • No platform fee to organisers: buyers pay 1% + $0.50 per ticket

Worth knowing about Eventbrite

  • Guest data lives in subscriber lists rather than full profiles
  • Food, drink and merch are sold as add-ons at the door, not on a bar POS
  • Gift cards need a third-party app, Gift Up!
  • Xero needs Zapier or Make in between
  • The Premium subscription is US$69 a month
  • The US service fee is 3.7% + $1.79 per ticket, plus 2.9% processing
