[Getting people in the door quickly] wasn’t something that happened before. But since we’ve switched to Eventbrite, we decided to release all of our tickets ahead of time instead of holding the majority to sell at the door.Megan Wilson, Director of Digital Strategy, Harpoon Brewery
How to Organize & Sell Tickets for an EDM Event

How to host an EDM event that sells out
Putting on a successful EDM event means blending incredible music with a seamless attendee experience. From securing the hottest DJs to ensuring a smooth entry, every detail counts. Eventbrite provides the foundation for your event, helping you manage the complexities so you can focus on the music.
Your blueprint for a legendary night:
Lock in your lineup and venue: Secure the talent that will draw a crowd and a venue that can handle the sound, lighting, and capacity your event deserves.
Structure your tickets: Use our EDM event ticketing tools to create multiple tiers. Offer early-bird pricing to build initial momentum, general admission, and VIP packages with special perks.
Promote your event: Build hype across social media channels where your audience is most active. Use email marketing to update your followers about the lineup and ticket availability.
Plan for a smooth entry: A long queue can kill the vibe. Prepare for a fast and easy check-in process to get your attendees onto the dance floor quickly.
