Is Eventbrite free for schools to use?

Yes, publishing an event on Eventbrite is free. For free events, there are no Eventbrite ticketing fees. For paid events, our fees can be passed on to the ticket buyer or absorbed by your organization. You can also explore whether reduced fees may apply for nonprofit activities.

Can we create different ticket prices for students, alumni, and faculty?

Yes. Eventbrite's platform allows you to create multiple custom ticket types for a single event. You can set different prices and names for each, such as 'Student Admission,' 'Alumni Ticket,' or 'Faculty RSVP,' to manage registration for different groups.

How do we manage check-in for large events like commencement?

For large-scale events, the Eventbrite Organizer app streamlines check-in. Your staff and volunteers can download the app on their mobile devices to scan QR codes on digital or printed tickets, quickly look up attendees by name, and monitor attendance in real time.

Can we collect specific information from attendees during registration?

Yes, you can customize your event's order form to collect the information you need. Ask for details like graduation year, department, meal preference, or t-shirt size to help you plan a more organized and personalized event for your attendees.

Can our university accept donations for fundraising events?

Yes, you can collect donations on Eventbrite. You can create a donation ticket type, allowing supporters to contribute a custom amount directly from your event page. This makes it easy to integrate fundraising into your galas, alumni events, and charity drives.

Can we track RSVPs for free student events?

Absolutely. You can create a free ticket type to function as an RSVP. This allows you to set a capacity, track who is coming, and communicate with registered attendees for any free campus event, workshop, or meeting.
