Can I use Eventbrite for vendor registration at my craft fair?

Yes, you can easily manage vendor applications and payments with Eventbrite. Create a specific 'ticket type' for vendor booths, where you can collect registration fees and ask custom questions to gather information about their craft and setup needs.

How can I sell tickets for multiple workshops within one main craft event?

Eventbrite allows you to create multiple ticket types under a single event page. You can set up separate tickets for each workshop, each with its own price, description, and capacity, in addition to your general admission tickets for the fair.

What's the best way to handle craft registration for different types of attendees?

You can create custom ticket types like 'General Admission,' 'VIP Early Access,' or 'Weekend Pass.' This allows you to offer varied experiences and pricing tiers, all managed through one simple and clear craft event ticketing page.

Can I sell tickets at the door of my craft event?

Absolutely. The Eventbrite Organizer app lets you sell tickets on-site using your mobile device. You can accept cash or secure card payments with Tap to Pay, and all sales are automatically synced with your event reporting.

How does Eventbrite help me promote my craft event?

Your event is listed on our global marketplace where millions of people look for things to do. We also provide built-in email marketing tools and seamless integration with social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram to help you reach more potential buyers.

Is it free to create my craft event on Eventbrite?

Yes, it’s free to publish your event on Eventbrite. For paid tickets, you can choose to absorb our competitive ticketing fees or pass them on to your buyers. If your craft event is free to attend, there are no fees.
