EventbriteReviews 342

I had never heard of Eventbrite, so when I searched for tickets to see my very favorite artist, I somehow ended up with tickets that were $65 each. I thought that was the actual price, but it turns out that normal tickets at the door for General Admission were 20!

I purchased a ticket to the biggest festival in Santee, South Carolina, from Jacksonville, Florida. I was excited to attend the event, but unfortunately, my mom fell sick, and my work schedule changed, making it impossible for me to go. I promptly contacted the event organizers after purchasing the ticket on the seventh. Between the ninth and the tenth, I reached out to them, requesting a refund and explaining my circumstances. To my surprise, I received a denial of my refund today, April 21st, from the event planner. This is unacceptable, as they clearly state that refunds can be issued up to seven days before the event, which is more than enough time for me to get my money back, given that the event is scheduled for May 4th. This denial of my refund raises serious concerns about the legitimacy of the event organizers. It appears to be a scam, and it seems that they are stealing money from unsuspecting attendees. We all work hard, and we deserve to have our money returned if we cannot attend an event that we have purchased tickets for. I will no longer be using these event organizers for any future events that they are sponsoring. They are thieves, and I will not support their activities.

This site is fraudulent and a scam, my girlfriend bought 2 tickets to an event, we showed up and the venue told us we were scammed by eventbrite.com and we can't even get a refund from them but only to purchase 2 new tickets let's the night of the event. Complete scam and wouldn't recommend Eventbrite.com for anything. Currently contacted an attorney for theft.

They are good about collecting your money but they don't give you any more details than what you see initially. The. Of course, the event is non refundable so you are stuck and if you call the event contact, they take days to respond and thats a challenge all in itself. So...if you think you were smart going through Eventbrite, that thought goes away and you are never comfortable wth your booking and checking in experience... unless you luck out and you actually get what you think you ordered.

I hope Eventbrite goes to hell
They swallowed my tickets. I bought tickets, have receipt, they won't display. I'll proceed to make their life a living hell.

We've used them for years -they went from free to $150/month and they charge for listing free events. Terrible customer service -no number to call customer service.
For paid tickets -they dont refund the customer the full amount either. They keep the $6 fee on top of the $150/month -dont use... try a different ticketing platform.

From an events organizer point of view - Dont use them -try a different platform.

There is no way to obtain customer support unless you use the sheet they provide you. There is a clear error in there system related to my account and I cant get a hold of anyone to help. I think this might take the cake as the worst customer service I've ever experienced, since it DOESNT exist. Unless of course you are planning an event and want to make them money.

They cancelled the event I organized for no reason and no explanation given. Zero customer support.

I am an event producer and have produced 45 events and festivals over the past 3 years. I have tried all their services and feel that Eventbrite is a RIP OFF. 1st of all they are charging you a percentage and their fees are already high. Now they are also charging a per event fee or a monthly fee. I have one thing to say: F OFF, you have lost my business. I will build out the ticketing on my site.
Plus their marketing suit is worthless, I tried it and spent a few hundred dollars with 0 return.
GREEDY

The event The Unreal Garden was a total scam! It was horribly overpriced and so disappointing! It was actually embarrassing! I will never go to another Eventbrite event. EVER! Stay away from there events. The reviews are terrible and I wished I had looked at them prior to buying tickets.

Attention all ladies! DO NOT ORDER YOUR TICKETS OFF THIS SITE ITS A FRAUD! Me and my cousins and friends paid to go and they took our money we wasn't aware about any Cancellation at all! I called a number off the site a guy picked up and told us we supposed to receive a email we didn't receive anything! I am so disappointed... we arrived to the place it was a prom event me and my family wasted our time and money going to a event never happened... I will never purchase a ticket off of eventbrite again!

I would give a minus 5 is there was an option. There is no way to get customer support from Eventbrite, they only have chats, where you get contradicting information every time. After over a month, we still have not received payment for the event we organized and it's not clear if they will ever pay or just steal from us.

Their paypal and steal your money, i even got a real ticket on the eventbrite app, but i wont use them ever again. Nauti parrot in fort myers wont let me in and im not paying another penny for entrance, the dispute takes two weeks, so im just out money. Disgusting.

Eventbrite used to be fantastic. Then at the end of 2023, their brilliant engineers decided to revamp their entire eventbrite from editing to marketing and now it takes a lot longer to post and their email marketing consistently reads, "import is taking longer. Please check back soon" and it never imports your list. Their customer service is terrible. After struggling to finally find the option to "chat" you'll be on hold for a long time waiting for responses and their chat doesn't allow a feature to send them screenshots. Instead they ask you to go to an outside website and set an account just to send them a screenshot. Really sad to see how Eventbrite has literally died in the last year. I cancelled my premium service with them and I won't even post there anymore. Don't waste your time or money. Hopefully they'll be in bankruptcy soon.

We were unable to attend the Lights Under Louisville event. Tried to get a refund the same day as purchase. We never heard from this organizer after 4 emails. We followed the procedure on there website for refund and nothing! NEVER PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY.

I really hate writing a negative review for less than $20 but it is the principle of the issue. I signed up for a Kwanzaa event and canceled about 20 minutes later as the individuals I invited could not attend. I could see if there was a statement of NO REFUND but I received a text /email that the refund was being processed. I bought through paypal and filed a claim which usually ends in my favor but not this time. OK I will always check to see if eventbrite is involved and if so I will find another way to purchase tickets.

Our church never received two event payout checks that the company said were sent. Checks were then "reissued." Both finally arrived. The first check was cashed but the bank declined the second check. What is going on with this company? I used Eventbrite in the past when it was free and never had problems. Still waiting on the payout for our second concert after a month! Seriously questioning using Eventbrite in the future! Beware if you want your proceeds right away!

I bought the tickets, they deducted money from my card, but no tickets has been delivered.!

No way to refund

Horrible customer service
No phone number and won't allow a refund for Covid - like do you really want me to be inconsiderate and infect everyone at the new years party and further more ruined my new year even more
